Another one from the archives: Oktoberfest!


Last year I was counting down the hours (months in advance) to Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. I love love this event!


Thank you Ludus Tours and especially Jess, Adam, Jim, Ashley, Cagney, Raffa, Rich, Anne, Salma and Michael for all the memories!










How does European culture, the world’s largest party, world class food, girls in dirndls and the best beer you have ever tasted sound?
This is an experience of a lifetime.

The German’s do it right! They have been celebrating Oktoberfest since 1810 when Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildurghausen.  Today, Oktoberfest in Munich is the largest festival in the world! More than six million visitors take part each year and consume more than 1 million gallons of brew! And yes, for those of you who couldn’t wait to ask, most Bavarian women (and more and more foreigners) wear traditional dirndls – though the Halloween style (lower cut and shorter skirts) are becoming more and more common. And men, for those of looking for an excuse to wear leather pants… this is the place! All jokes aside though, Lederhosen look really comfortable…
