This is an album of photos from my weekend trip to Munich for opening weekend of Oktoberfest 2009. Alongside my girlfriend Marilyn and friend Andy, we flew in to meet my Uncle and his friends for a incredibly fun-filled weekend of half-pints, headaches, and half roasted chickens. As I usually say with these blogs, the pictures don't even come remotely close to doing this event justice.

Perugia is one of the most beautiful, historic, and culturally dense places I have ever been in my life. It is a little Medieval University town in the mountains located about halfway between Rome and Florence. Andy and I got this great apartment with our access to our own private garden with what I believe to be the best views in the whole city... not to mention the garden had a ping pong table as well. What more can you ask for in life? So here are some the pictures from my September ... read more
