Octoberfest


-
In the early 1970's I lived in Frankfurt, Germany.
-
Some very dear friends of mine from El Paso were living in Munich and I visited them a couple of times. Mark and Ann. I attended the Octoberfest there in Munich, and it is incredible. The word awesome has been so overused that it no longer carries any weight, but used properly it would be appropriate.


I've been a teetotaller for years now, so sitting around with a bunch of drunks watching them make fools of themselves is not nearly as much fun as it used to be.
-
But since there is a little mini-Octoberfest going on a couple of miles from where I live I plan to go by this weekend and check it out. Music in the street, a flea market, clowns. Wow, sounds like fun.
