Fast Times continued....



So, I have a few more minutes to elaborate on our trips that we have gone on over the last few weeks. We went to Oktoberfest in Munich and it was really cool! It wasn't what I expected, although I am not sure what I expected. It was like a really big state fair. There were drunk people everywhere which made for an even more amusing trip. Even in the train station there would be a random drunk person wondering around in their liederhosen and the police had to intercede. We did a lot of walking and saw a lot of neat things. We didn't take many pictures because there were way too many people to have to maneuver through. There were a lot of booths for t-shirts, and other souvenirs, and rides. The beer tents were more like building and full of people singing and dancing. We had good food, and I didn't drink any, but I am told good beer. The train ride wasn't so bad either. We stayed about an hour away in Garmisch-Partenkirchen Germany. It was BEAUTIFUL! The mountains were amazing, the people were nice, and we had a great time. The drive wasn't as bad either. We went through Austria and it was just as amazing. The roads were just as small, the people nice, and the area was breath taking. It was such a nice day when we were there. We also went to Dublin Ireland. It was even better! I want to go back so bad. The people were the nicest we had been around in a long time. It was fun to walk around and shop. We walked EVERYWHERE! I was sooo tired by the end of the day. We got to see a lot of cool things too! The Dublin Castle, Christ Church, Downtown, the Guinness Factory, Trinity College, and so many more things. I suggest that everyone should go there sometime in their life. We also were there during some protests. From my understanding it was about a treaty in which they didn't want to be a part of for the European Union. It was kind of crazy at first, but interesting to see. Well, the girl is up from her nap, so.....until next time.
