My friend Jen is traveling through Europe at the moment. She was lucky enough to get to go to the actual Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany; I had to settle for Denver's version of it. And while I'm sure that what I took part in paled in comparison to the real deal, it still was fun in its own rite and even made me feel a little more connected to my own heritage.
Hopefully someday I'll have the chance to get decked out in a dirndl, eat authentic Bratwursts, and
Prost (toast) with German beer, but for now, I'll have to make due with drinking strawberry lemonade whilst watching an Asian man do a Bavarian dance in the streets of Denver.
Guten Tag meine Freunde!
