Inserted 11/12/17:
Today was originally supposed to be our first true Oktoberfest tent experience, but last night surprised us all, haha. No worries, we were going to do it again anyway.
First item on the docket: dirndl and lederhosen purchasing. The employees in the shop we went to were very helpful and Chris was able to find an outfit that looked awesome pretty quickly. I had been looking forward to getting a dirndl for a while leading up to this trip and was overwhelmed at the options. The frustration built as I tried on several different sizes of shirts and dresses and found the options this store had did not fit me well. I didn’t want to buy something that wasn’t right since they weren’t cheap so I had to pass. I didn’t feel like trying to find another store so I didn’t end up with a dirndl (sad). Carl decided not to get anything before he even tried one on and we couldn’t sell Dad on the idea so Chris was the lone member of the group to look like a native. (I can’t find a picture of him in them right now, unfortunately.)
Regardless of our lack of special attire, it was on to the tents! Carl and I weren’t feeling as jolly and social as the night before, but it was still quite the experience.
