Oktoberfest

Yesterday I went to Altendorf's Oktoberfest!  I hadn't realized that my family was helping with the festivities, but I had fun doing so.  I stayed behind the bar the entire night, washing glasses, drying glasses, and learning how to serve beer.  Saige was also helping out behind the bar with the same tasks as I, and Jana was taking orders in front of the bar.  A man, whose name I failed to learn (it might be Chris, I don't know), talked to us the entire night in English and taught us how to serve good German beer.  I don't think I was half bad at it.  The man taught us some German songs and made it a little less boring for us.

I had my first German beer!  It was a Pils and it was pretty good.  I also ate pretzels and Leberkäse.  I even bought a famous Oktoberfest Lebkuchenherz!

There was tons of polka music, beer, of course, lederhosen, and dirndls.

It was a very, very fun night!

Learning how to perfectly portion beer

So. Many. People.

So. Much. Beer.

A glimpse of my task. Oh, the guy left for 2 minutes and beer flooded the bar
