Prost! - Oktoberfest

Around this time last year, my friends and I traveled to Munich for a weekend for Oktoberfest. It was probably one of the best experiences of my life. I just assumed it would be just a bunch of drunk Germans drinking beer all day. While that was included (obviously) it was way more than that. People traveled from all over the world for this festival. It was huge! There were a bunch of different tents filled with people with different kinds of beer. The famous ladies in their dresses carried multiple steins at once - I don't know how they did it, they're so heavy. Every so often, one brave person would stand on the table and chug his beer as fast as he could and everyone would cheer him on and clap afterwards. It was so exciting! Also there were those huge soft pretzels being given out everywhere - they were delicious. My favorite part though had to be the swings. They're your typical amusement ride swings that go high up in a circle but the view was amazing. I could see the entire festival and most of the city of Munich. It was gorgeous! I definitely would love to go back and do it all over again soon!
