Oktoberfest

I made my first trip to Oktoberfest in Munich two weekends ago to meet with my friend Shilpa from Chicago, who I met during study abroad in Australia, and to see relatives-in-law Sofie, Anna and Andreas.  We did some sight seeing in the city and visited the Oktoberfest several times.  One night we went to the Paulaner beer tent, and another to the Hofbrau tent.  Many of the Oktoberfest-goers wear the traditional Bavarian Lederhosen (leather pants or shorts for men) and Dirndl (women's dresses).

    you two have a wonderful life, that is for sure when looking at the pictures!
    Did I ever say thank you for the lovely book that we got for Luna? Love the drawings from little red riding hood!

    Where did you get the dirndl, that's just hilarious!! This looks such fun. Really looking forward to seeing you both in November (and Richard in a couple of days, right?)
