Oktoberfest, more fun hungover

---

Jessica had her bags returned, so all is good. We trained to Munich the day before yesterday to go to Oktoberfest. It was amazing, people everywhere in lederhosen and German dresses. We decided to order a beer and went the waiter came he was holding the biggest "glasses" of beer I've ever seen. They were a liter! So we drank one, then went to another place and decided why not have another? Then we decided, why not have another? Unfortunate choices because the next morning I woke up with the worst hangover of my life. But, since it was the first day of Oktoberfest we had to go anyways. So we got up, tried to look as decent as possible, and rolled over to Oktoberfest.
Oktoberfest kind of reminded me of the Puyallup fair at first, but with public drinking (so it was waaay better). Jessica and I stumbled into this huge tent all decorated and just happened to see the annual tapping of the keg by the mayor of Munich. We found a place to sit and choked down one beer each. After that I felt great. What better cure for a hangover than another beer? We walked around for awhile before deciding we absolutely had to have lederhosen. There were a lot of girls in German dresses, but we only saw two or three girls in lederhosen. And all of them had questionable sexual preference (i.e. butch, very butch!). But we bought lederhosen anyways and now Jessica and I have matching German little boys shorts and suspenders. I plan on wearing them at least once a week when home.
After Oktoberfest we trained to Prague. Prague is beautiful, very old. The streets are narrow and the buildings are steep and imposing on either side. Then it opens up into the main square where there's an old castle. It looks like it's from a fairy tale. Today we're going to site-see and go to the Kafka museum.
