Two weekends ago, a few of my friends and I made our way to Munich to attend the legendary Oktoberfest!  Well, I totally raised the bar on the epic-ness of this beer festival by meeting my sister Amanda there!  Best weekend ever.

Oktoberfest was crazy crazy fun, smiling at every moment.  Munich knows how to throw a good party; thus I can’t recall every individual awesome thing that happened, but here are some highlights:

• Getting to the tents for the first time and being so overwhelmed and excited
• Walking around in the tent with a friend and making lots of new ones at every table we passed/”prost!”ed
• Hearing ”Seven Nation Army” one too many times
• Going on the swings over Munich
• “The Hill”
• Seeing my sister!
• Coming back to the camp site (yes, I slept in a tent for a few days) to find a full out dance party and open bar (i.e. free cheap beer)
• Deciding to wait around for breakfast with another friend and making it into the tents before the friends that went breakfast-less
• Wishing I had a durndle
• Running into a few people from Cincinnati
• Being caught stealing beer steins and watching the security guard dance around with them
• Loosing and then meeting back up with the friends I came with
• Dancing
• Wishing I had a durndle
• Playing the “Prost!” game
• The Italians - especially the short one - near the band who appreciated my thick faux Italian accent
• Drinking with the crazy Brazilians at 10 am
• Sitting for a few hours with our German friends studying in Munich who are true “wankstas”
• Finding random NYU people
• “what happened to your arm?” “oh that’s ketchup”
• finding mustard all over my black jacket (and not being able to get it out a week later)
• Wishing I had a durndle
• Finding the same late night party at the camp site
• Being amazed that someone could ever (and would want to) chug a liter of beer
• Being amazed that someone could ever (and would want to) chug beer out of their shoe
• Wishing I had a durndle
• Having awesome sister time
• The ridiculous South Africans who unknowingly gave me their hat
• Eating the best food ever (sorry mom!)
• Watching Amanda and her new dance partner
• Long haired Italians and even more ridiculous ones

Ahh - there are way too many things to mention so I’ll just end it here :)

I only brought my camera on the last day I was there, but I still got some good pictures - flickr.

(Sorry I’m a bit behind!  Amanda was distracting me in Munich, Prague, and Berlin!!)
