We started by having a busy Friday afternoon running errands then we were going to meet Sandy downtown her friends were in town and their nephew who we were going to meet up with. The nephew has lived in Europe a lot and would be someone safe and fun to travel with. The plan was we were all going to go to Oktoberfest the next day.
Well Cherise and I started a quiet little evening with a yummy German dinner and well, we thought it was a great idea to split a bottle of wine! At the time it was a great idea... looking back at it, I think we may have been wrong. One thing led to the next...haha and needless to say we had a great night and early morning! By the time we made it home we had about 1.5 hours to sleep before getting up and getting ready for Oktoberfest!
We were still having a great time by the time we got to the train station with some other teachers.. We went to Oktoberfest which was an experience! We got to see the parades which was really neat(check out the pictures and videos). Then we went to try and get in a tent which was impossible. And if you don't get in to a tent and at a table it is nearly impossible to get a beer. We finally got to get into a tent but was unable to get a seat. It was amazing to see the ladies carry so many beer steins at one time! Over all it Oktoberfest is one GIGANTIC fair with beer tents and lots of beer.
After Oktoberfest we hoped a train to where our new friend Dominic lives with his Aunt and Uncle in Landshut. I was so pretty there! We had a great relaxing time. We were treated to homemade weiner schnitzel and were taken out on the town for a calm late night! We were exhausted from only having an hour and a half of sleep.
We finally made it back to Bamberg and started out laundry which was an all night hassle. There were many issues with the laundry and we finally had to hang wet laundry around the apartment and only got about 4 hours of sleep. Needless to say it has been a long week!
