So, the first day of Oktoberfest has come and gone, and it was quite an adventure. Here's the day in pictures...
Our group looking somewhat determined to make it into the tents at around 9am.
Our view of the Bavaria Statue as we entered the Theresienwiese.
Part of the Löwenbräu tent.
The Hacker Festzelt, and the parade leading up to the 12pm tapping of the first barrel, or Fass, by the mayor of Munich.A video showing the Entry of the Oktoberfest Staff and Brewers in front of the Augustiner tent.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to get inside the tents, but we still had quite a bit of fun and drank a whole lot of beer! We were glad that we got to see some of the big opening ceremonies and all make it home safely.
I'll probably have more to report from Oktoberfest later, as I'm going back tomorrow with some Germans that I met through a friend last year in Evanston.
Prosit!
