Oktoberfest continues

Couldn't get a live model for the first picture, so we found something as a substitute. Rick rather enjoyed looking at that picture quite often.
The little walkup bars were very plentiful throughtout the Oktoberfest. We thought they were a good idea, since you could hardly find sitting room in any of the tents.
The last picture was taken in a special area for the 200 year anniversary 1810-2010. It says Welcome to Oktoberfest.

This is the Fun Zone

Tent #2-same day more beer

As you can see, these are more pictures of another tent and seeing some of the crazy people dancing on tables. This is a Monday afternoon and all these people. Doesn't anyone work during Oktoberfest?

Day 2 OKTOBERFEST FINALLY

After a long day of planes, trains, & buses we got up the next morning to make our way down to the Oktoberfest. A short walk from our hotel to the subway to downtown Munich (the Oktoberfest is only 2 blocks away) Many of the people on the subway are dressed in traditional Bavarian clothes.
Upon arrival at the Oktoberfest we immediately entered the first beer tent called the Hippodrome.
OMG I never saw a tent so big!! This one held about 3,000 people. But some of the bigger ones hold up to 10,000 people. We met some people at our table from Vermont and had a delicious lunch of Nuremberg

sausage with sauerkraut and of course Rick had his first liter of beer. The following pictures will show what a wild and crazy bunch of people there are attending this festival.

Day 1-Planes, trains, and buses!

     Arrived Franfurt. Now we have to get ourself to Munich to collect our bag.

Lucky for us the train station is right at the airport.
