Oktoberfest Overview

Munich's extra season is winding down.  Thankfully because it has been a whirlwind 2+ weeks of rabble-rousing that should be left to those much younger than I.  I have overeaten, drank way too much beer and stayed out past my bedtime on a few occasions.  But I have also laughed out loud more times than I can remember of late, caught up with friends old and new and had the time of my life.  I give you the pictures from my phone from a few of the random days we were there (8 times in all!).  The pictures of the days our visitors were here deserve posts of their own and will be coming shortly...Right now I have to run because I have a table waiting for me once again for our last hurrah...Prost!

 Ready and excited for the first day!

 They take Oktoberfest very seriously here - even stopping work on the U-bahn for it (notice the 18 beer steins replacing the work schedule)

Riding the rails.

Lebkuchenherzen acquired! 

 What is Oktoberfest without some of your best friends to ride rides with?

 First (but certainly not the last) Maß of the season.  With a cute photobomber to boot.

 The different looks of this year - and the different beers.

 Lunching with my mom friends.

 But we did not lunch on this traditional fish...not my taste.

 Met up with my PT (on the left), his cousin and brother in for a birthday celebration all the way from Breckenridge.  A fun day for sure!

I don't think we had as much fun as these guys though...

                                                                      

 The grounds as seen from the Bavaria Statue.  This is at about noon and it would only get crazier!
