The Best Oktoberfest Ever
Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 9:00 Anyone who knows me knows I love Oktoberfest. But since I love dressing up, silly songs, and carnivals, it should be no surprise. Only Bavaria can outdo the Texas State Fair! (I still need to take Herr J to that...he's never been!)
Due to work travel committments, I was only able to go to Oktoberfest twice this year - we actually had to give up tickets we'd booked in the Kaiserschmarrn tent because I was out of town. Fortunately, when I returned, we went with friends for a long Sunday and made the most of everything the Wies'n has to offer.
On the last Friday of Oktoberfest 2011 we squeezed in a short visit, before heading out on an early Saturday morning flight to a week of vacation: a Pyrennees hiking adventure. Seeking refuge from the crowded tents, we instead had a lovely picnic dinner (Spanish ham and cheese, and of course German beer) on the hill overlooking the grounds, in front of the Bavaria statue.
And here, Herr J asked me to marry him.
Best. Oktoberfest. EVER.
Looking forward to many years of trachten with this wonderful man!
