DH and I are in Germany and we got to meet sueg and her wonderful DS at Oktoberfest in Munich today!!!! She wore the traditional drindl dress which was just beautiful! Traffic was awful so we were an hour late and I felt terrible but so happy that she found us!!!! And then her son joined us ❤️ The beer tents are huge and PACKED, but she helped us figure out how to order so when we parted several hours later, we were able to order on our own!  |

I love it! I've only ever met a few Peas and Bridget, you are not one of them... Despite the fact that we live practically next door to each other! We really should do something about that.  |

Fabulous! Love your dirndl sueg! I was at Oktoberfest in Munich in 2010. the tents are ENORMOUS! How did you find one another? One vivid memory I have is that it is the only place I've ever seen about 200 guys in line for the men's room vs. a handful for the women's!! |

Fabulous! Love your dirndl sueg ! I was at Oktoberfest in Munich in 2010. the tents are ENORMOUS! How did you find one another? Bridget told me where they were being dropped off, and therefore which entrance they were using. As it happens, this entrance brings you in right near a GIANT statue of Bavaria, which makes it a good meeting point, especially as it is right at the back of the grounds and not (quite) as busy as some other sections. I love that people dress up for this. So fun you 2 could meet. Oktoberfest is a tradition that goes back over 200 years, when it started as a celebration for the people of Munich for the wedding of Crown Prince (later King) Ludwig Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on 12 October 1810. Back then, Trachten (dirndls and lederhosen) were common items of clothing. Even today, many people in Bavaria own a dirndl or lederhosen. They are not only worn for Oktoberfest - in more rural areas, they are worn to church, for weddings and other celebrations, or sometimes just as 'Sunday Best' clothes. So of course, we wear Trachten to Oktoberfest - it is a 'dress up' occasion! So wonderful you got to meet up on what looks like such a lovely day. Love your dirndl, sueg, and that dapple gray behind y'all just makes such a great photo. The weather here has been just stunning for Oktoberfest - I think there has only been one day with rain, and the rest has been sunny and warm. Perfect to sit outside and drink beer! Yesterday while we were there (also on Tuesday when DS and I were there for our first visit this year), nearly all the breweries had their horse teams out near their tents. They are just so beautiful - 6 big horses pulling a large cart of beer barrels. These days, the beer does not arrive at the grounds on the horse carts - it is piped in underground - but the horses are a part of the tradition.   |
