PROST! To Oktoberfest. Last weekend a group of 9 of us journeyed across Europe to Munich to partake in the "cultural" and "historical" festivities at Oktoberfest. We crammed 9 of us into a little hotel room for 3 nights and 3 days to cross Oktoberfest off of all of our bucket lists, and boy was it worth it. We started the two days at the fest at 5 in the morning. Here is the drinking team in our matching uniforms before the sun had even come up. That is what I call dedication.

The train station where we caught the first train over to the Munich city center. If you can tell, that right there is the beautiful German sunrise.
We waited in line, if you can even call it that, for about an hour until they opened the doors at around 8:30 am. We luckily chose a really good tent where there were a ton of young people that liked to sing and dance and chug. This is a picture of the beautiful Hacker tent. That in the middle is the gazebo where a polka band played German drinking songs that we would mutter along to.
Here I am with my very first litre! Such delicious beer.
Here is my friend Lindsey and I with our German friend who got kind of mad when we called his outfit a costume.


On day two, we decided to check out another tent. This is Lowenbrau where we got another early start.

Again, with a polka gazebo in the middle.
Enjoying my second day's drink of choice, half bier- half lemonade. FULL DELICIOUS

We made alot of friends from all over the world. Here are some of our Italian and Irish friends.
The rides at the festival were INTENSE. Therefore, we HAD to ride the highest swings we've ever seen.

Heidi and I couldn't stop smiling!

All in all Oktoberfest was one of the funnest times I have ever had and probably ever will.
I guess memories would be stretching it, but I was able to attend three Oktoberfest's and had a great time. I was actually able to make off with one of those official mugs. :]
