München
-- München (Munich) is the home of the original Oktoberfest, and still hosts the event on the Theresianwiese (Theresa's meadow) each year. To be sure of a seat in one of the Bierzelts (beer tents), it is necessary to make a reservation a year in advance.

Oktoberfest

 |
| The Theresianwiese, site of the Oktoberfest, is about a block from the U-bahn (subway) | If you look closely you can see people hanging from the right end of the ride! | The people on this roller coaster were about to start their loops. | Lowenbräu is one of the best known German beers, and drew a big crowd (as did every other tent). |

| "In Munich stands a Hofbrau house", a song known world-wide. | There were many pretty young ladies at the Oktoberfest. | Some of the ornamentation was elaborate and animated. | There were tables outside for those without indoor tickets |

| Inside the beer tents there were bands, food, beer, and lots of people. | |||
