Oktoberfest


Walking from the campsite to the festival!


The festival is just starting to open.  The workers are all starting to get there.  I obviously got up wayyyyy too early.







These heart shaped gingerbreads are a big tradition at Oktoberfest.  





















On the ferris wheel!



View of almost the whole festival.


This is where I ate.  Right next to the giant ferris wheel.

My half beer - half lemonade that was very very yummy.


Spinach dumplings with tomato sauce and arugula! SOOO GOOD.


Chocolate dumplings with wild berry ragout.  Also delicious.  As was the apple drink thing I had.

While I was eating this, two Germans sat down next to me and bought me another liter of beer (my waitress brought me another half lemonade half beer thing though).  I did take any other pictures while I was at the beer garden after I got a bite out of the chocolate dumplings... And you can see that I almost forgot to do that!



A selection of the heart cookies:








Big horses!







I ate at least four pretzels at Oktoberfest...


The park right outside of the fair grounds.


A church near the fair grounds.






It's only like 6pm and I'm tired and ready to head back to the campground!
