Oktoberfest 10-7-2012

Oktoberfest:
We took the Army MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) trip to Munich for the world famous Oktoberfest.  The trip was really nice because we had transportation to and from, so we didn't have to worry about getting lost, or traffic, etc.  We arrived at the fairgrounds around noon and immediately made our way to the sausage stand!  The area was large, about four city blocks filled with biergartens, rides, and fair-like stands with ice cream and other treats.  We spent the afternoon walking around the city, and people watching.  Most of the locals dress in traditional Lederhosen (men's outfits) and Dirndl (women's outfits).  After a while we stumbled upon a restaurant biergarten that was off the beaten path.  It was much more low key than the fair grounds, and the food was really great.  We split a plate that had half a chicken, knudel, fries, and a large pretzel.  We met a family from Ramstein, Germany, a couple from Switzerland and a woman from Austria.  Everyone was really nice to us and we enjoyed quite a few laughs throughout the afternoon.

GERMANY House tour!

Hello Everyone!

     I have not written in this blog in a very long time, and am going to try it again, hopefully with more success this time around.  We have arrived in Germany and got our house, and i wanted to share with you a quick video tour we recorded.  Not my best "video-grapher" skills by far, but at least everyone will be able to get a quick glance into where we will be living the next three years.

Here is a link to some pictures as well (through facebook) :
