October 6th, 2007: Oktoberfest!

I went to Oktoberfest in Munich for a few days last week. These first few pictures are from Cologne - we (my friend Jess and I) stopped and spent the night there on the way to Munich. This is the Dom cathedral in Cologne.


We climbed up one of the towers of the cathedral and this is the view of Cologne from above.
A view of the Rhine River.
After Cologne we traveled to Munich and met up with Jess' friend Erin (who it turns out was in my class at SU - but we didn't know each other then). After checking into a hostel we headed to the festival and sampled an enormous beer.

There were tons of guys wearing lederhosen and ladies wearing dirndls...
This group was dancing on the table...
I bought a dirndl in Munich thinking it could be used for many Halloween parties in the future.


A German "salad".
