1 liter of beer in each mug, we had anywhere from 6-9 mugs each day...do the math and buy us new livers

we arrived in munich after our short flight of about 1 1/2 hrs...it was great, we hopped in a cab after getting to one the nicest airports ive ever been to, they have nicer stores in there than they do at the westchester, and for those of you who are from home and know what im talking about youll understand haha


we got to our hotel which was really nice and met up with jess's 3 friends, matt matt and tom, all from england. we went downstairs and had dinner and a nice big beer, we had no idea what we were ordering really but all the things we got were delicious as well as our beers, the guys had bought some alcohol and chasers so we hung out upstairs and played drinking games all night, at around 1 we decided we should call it a night and rest up for our 1st big day in munich...we decided to leave at 830 so head over to oktoberfest



we got ready and got to oktoberfest around 930, we thought we were very early but that was not the truth we found out, our friends had gotten there at 730 and said it was getting packed, we attempted to get into the hofbrau house but the security informed us that we'd be waiting for hrs to get in so we walked over to another tent, we sat outside despite the drizzle and cold and ordered our first round of the weekend...we housed our liter beers and ordered our second ones within a half hr id say...then came along the people selling giant soft pretzels and sandwiches and giant doughnuts...we were in heaven lol


it started to rain a bit more so we decided to head over to the town of munich where there is a restaurant of the hofbrau house and found our way there by asking every random person we could to point us in the right direction, we finally made it and this place was hugggggeeeeee...it was as if a giant hotel was gutted, a million tables were put in on 3 different floors, and thousands of people were inside drinking heavily, eating german foods, singing and screaming...it was unreal

we started drinking downstairs, tom and i found us a place to sit upstairs, we drank and ate for hours, then this is where is gets a little blurry lol

...allllls i knowwwwws is that we were trashed, somehow jay drew and gary found us, drew passed out on the table haha and then when we decided to leave at 10 (i was convinced it was like 2am lol) it got a little crazy haha...everyone was running the streets of munich, drew was passed out in my arms, susans arms, then jess's arms lol...we got split up from most of the group, we tried to find out where we were and how to get back, that didnt work out haha...they had to come back and find us and show us how to get back lol


all in all day 1 was amazing, and technically we didnt eve go inside the tents yet, in a way it was maybe better that way, because the amount of drinking that occurred saturday would have clearly been more difficult than it already was going to be...but i must say we were all champs!
