...Oye Oye Oye!!!
Wow, Munich. What an amazing weekend. I really treated myself for this weekend, but it was so worth it. We took a beautiful train ride to Frankfurt and then Munich. Castles, open fields, mountains, rivers...It was unreal. I felt such a powerful connection with the culture that my family comes from. Mel, Betsy, Megan, Joyce, and I kept saying that our powers were increased. I really thought about my Dad a lot. He would have loved to be there, and I know how amazing it would have been to do Germany for the first time with him.
After a wonderful train ride with Hanz and Franz the surfer twins, we found our hotel and got ready for Oktoberfest! We made it to the Spaten tent pretty easily. I pimped out the girls so that we could get in! Although it was awkward trying to find a place to sit, we ended up finding some nice/ugly Danish boys to sit with. We met some awesome people, chugged three steins, and had a wonderous time. I got headbutted too! That was probably the highlight. I honestly don't even know how I made it home that night. Apparently I put on Wicked bootlegs and made the girls listen to them. Ohhhh boy...
On Saturday we got up and met Joyce's cousin Joseph. He is a dancer in Munich and he was awesome. He was such a nice guy. He took us to a really authentic Bavarian place for lunch. We had sausage and dumplings, potato salad and good beer. I even tried a great drink that was comprised of Coke and Orange soda. Then Joseph helped me by Leder Hosen! After a small catastrophe, ie...our group being split up...we did some dress shopping for the girls, got ready at our hotel, and made our way back to Oktoberfest. We got into Spaten after a little difficulty, and then found a table. What an evening. I made friends with a German guy named Andy. We drank steins, did Bavrian mint drugs, made a shit ton of Euro pals...It was another shit show. I couldn't undo my leder hosen for the life of me and almost peed myself. Poor Megan fell into a table and will probably lose an arm. We all looked so authentic! It was such a magical evening. The beer chants and the old American music classics...it was such an amazing weekend. We had a rough journey back...Belgians were striking so we had to take a bus and a taxi to get home. Munich was fucking incredible. I really hope to make it back to Oktoberfest again! Prost!
