Day #2 of Oktoberfest. We had a great time. Today was much less crowded than yesterday so we werw able to find outdoor seats and get our massen (liters!) in no time. It was a beautiful day out so lots of fun to sit in the biergarten. We also got ourselves some half-meter wursts so that obviously made it better. We also found nice seats outside another brewery and got to talk to some people from here. The woman had lived in London for 10 years so her English was perfect but Ed spoke to them in German and they taught us to say the equivalent of "enjoyed your company" (something like gutte geshunte, not sure of the spelling). We went on a crazy rollercoaster called the WildMaus; that only cost 8 Euros (about 12 dollars) for 75 seconds of fun. Some fun things we got to see were barbecued fish on a stick, fish sandwiches with the slimy silver scales all hanging out, and an ox roasting over coals! Get excited for pictures of all those. Unfortunately we haven't found a place to upload our photos yet but hopefully we will soon.
The hotel we're staying at tonight is at the Olympiapark, where Munich hosted the Summer Games in 1971. It's actually the same hotel where the hostages were held that year! We didn't know until we got here yesterday and recognized it from old news stories. Hopefully tomorrow morning we'll have time to tour the Olympic grounds.
We leave Munich tomorrow for our first farm; hopefully we'll still get internet service there. We've really loved Munich and are a little sad to leave but the farming is what we actually came to do so we have to get going!

This trip sounds like so much fun! After all those brews and wursts I think I'd have to skip the WildMaus or someone would be sorry. Can't wait to hear about the farm and how that goes. Salzberg sounded wonderful too! Love you, Aunt Linda
