At noon they start serving Bier and lunch/dinner. The Bier comes in liter mugs -- ridiculous. The food was great too -- very traditional German food -- we had sausages, kraut, sweet mustard for lunch and meat, potatoes and veggies for dinner. Definitely a great time -- everyone should experience it. Hopefully next time 'round we'll make it inside. It looked like it was even more fun in there.
I missed the ND game, but found out the next morning that we won thanks to a game-saving interception.
Sunday saw the assembly of furniture -- I bought a buffet table / bar kind a thing, a coffee table, and a couple cabinet things for the bathroom. They were all from Ikea style places so that means lots of assembly time. The place is coming together nicely -- still waiting on the household goods shipment to arrive though.
Had my "first day of work" today. Sat in a few legal assistance client appointments with another attorney. He has a lot more law to spit to clients needing information than I will -- I think for the time being my success will be determined on my organization and ability to look up answers quickly. It will certainly be a steep learning curve.
Thanks for the glimpse of Octoberfest. I love journeying with you as you assemble memories for years to come.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are finally "on the job". You'll know the answers soon enough.
Second thought: how come Octoberfest is in September?
ReplyDeleteLove the pics. keep 'em coming.
ReplyDeleteOktoberfest traditionally runs from the second half of September until the first week of October. The festival traces its roots back several hundred years. Germans would brew beer with the freshly harvested wheat in the fall. They would then store the beer in caves throughout the year, consuming what they wanted. When the harvest came again, they would celebrate and empty their "old" stock to make room for the next year's brew.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the history lesson.
