Octoberfest

We were at Octoberfest on the opening weekend in Munich. What a wonderful, wild, crazy and fun time. I have never seen so many people drinking beer in one place at one time. A security guard told us that they have 100,000 a day and 6 million in three weeks. People dress in costume and wear crazy hats. Suddenly a table will begin shouting and chanting. We never figured out the cause or reason. The halls and tents were terribly crowded and loud with music and shouting. It was an experience not to be missed.

Gary and Susan, I just went through you last month and I am very jealous. What a fabulous trip. It sounds like you are experiencing so much. I loved the picture of the two of you with your friend Guiness. I think Gary kissing the Blarney stone really wasn't necessary. You have long had that gift.
God Bless,
Kay
