I made it through another behemoth round of Oktoberfesting on Friday. We sat down at noon in the largest tent and enjoyed some beer and chicken. At 4:00 we were kicked out of our seats since the next reservation for that table was coming in. We were left to go into what I call 'the pit' to find some open seats. Two of us, including myself, were able to weasel our way into a table where we could order beers for our group. Lots of singing, only this time with several thousand people. I lost count at 5 liters of beer (a liter is ~34oz). I probably had 6 in total. I just remember Kate shouting on a couple of occasions, "you ordered another one?!" It's hard to keep track when everyone around you is so jolly. We left the tent around 9:30 to enjoy some brats. Then we went home since 1) we were hammered and 2) there was no way of getting back into the tents at that time. Still hungry, Kate and I made it to a Burger King for some whoppers before making it home and passing out. The brats were infinitely better.

It rained all day on Saturday. I felt poop in the morning but was able to sleep it off. We got up at noon and continued to be worthless every minute of the day. We watched Friday Night Lights until the PSU game -- watched the whole thing Vic!-- and then watched more tv. Sunday was slightly more productive, but not by much since all stores are closed here on Sundays. I think I hate this the most about living here. Sundays were the days I used to be able to get things done, and now it's basically all or nothing on Saturdays and that is hard to do.

Kate went back to Oktoberfest Sunday night without me. I stayed back to plan our anniversary trip to Lake Garda, Italy in 2 weeks. She ended up at the Hofbrau tent (American/Australian tent) and was signing the Bohemian Rhapsody. I am immensely jealous! She also did not come home until 2am, which would have killed me for Monday and Tuesday this week, but not for Wednesday because that is a public holiday!

That's been my last 1/2 week. Pictures to follow tomorrow.
