Back in our cocoon...

And to all a guten nacht! Zzzzzzzzzzzz...

Candy, candy...

...tastes best at the end of the evening. This supersized macaroon
weighed about 5 lbs. Its remains are still resting next to us as we
type this blog at the Cocoon Hotel while watching 'Men in Trees'
dubbed into German. Ugh!

Sun goes down, and the beer halls light up!

...another liter of beer

...we lost count. Probably #3...

Jana playing with Biene Maja

...one of her favorite German cartoon characters.

A wide selection of sketchy & nauseating fair rides!

After liter #2, we decided to pass on the carnival rides. Eeewe.

Caramelized almonds... Are yummy!

"do you like me?"

"I like you so much (beer & pretzel)!"

I heart lederhosen!

Men in lederhosen everywhere!

Heh, heh, heh. A look that can only be hot In Munich! : P

Prost #2 (picture!)

Prost #2!

Ok, Jana cheated a little.... Her beer was half sprite, but have no
fear, I went for the real thing!

Festivities in the beer tents!!

We wandered around in the tents, but all the seats were reserved...
Just as content to drink our beer outside in the open air! Phew!

Mmmmmm... Wiesn hendl!!

Half a chicken, and a giant pretzel

Crabs & meow!

(Rachel & pam)... You bitches should be here! :P

...and johnkim!

Prost!

Prost to our friends who could not be with us!

Saf & Bev! Prost!

Prost! Liter #1

We walked around, scoped the scene... Abd finally settled in for our
first Augustiner 'mass' (one liter mug) of beer.

The Hippodrome...

We quickly realized that without a reservation, we had to scrounge
around, and hit some of the bert gardens. The main beer tents were all
reserves, and packed!
