This is our last fall in Germany, we think, and you can't live in Germany without attending an Oktoberfest at least once right? Well, that is what we thought anyway. Now I admit, it probably wasn't as much fun for us because we don't drink alcohol but we had heard it was a fun place to visit with the kids...
I don't think that was completely accurate.
However, we went, stayed for about an hour and then left.
Too many severely drunk people tripping over my huge stroller for my liking.
The girls learned about Oktoberfest in their host nation class at school.
This is the world's largest fair celebrating this countries beverage of choice...beer.
We did find some tasty nurnberger wurst and the girls have always wanted these gingerbread hearts that "sweethearts" give to each other during the fest.
Matt bought each of the girls one.
One of the many beer tents at the fair grounds.
These are three stories, with three floors, and you need a reservation weeks, maybe even months in advance to even get a seat inside one.
We stayed outside.
There are tons of fair rides, that are practically amusement park rides. I am talking roller coasters that go upside down, and mouse-trap type coasters, huge ferris wheels...you name it!
People turn out in the best bavarian attire also. Which means Drindle for the ladies and Liederhosen for the men.
We went on some rides, at some food, and then left.
Oktoberfest...done!
