Beer, pretty girls, and a party setting. What more could you ask? This goes on for sixteen days, until October 3rd.

A merry go round in front of St. Paul's Church. Hopefully the riders can hold their beer n' bratwurst, if you know what I mean.

And of course, after the festivities, it's always nice to take a rest and sleep it off a bit before returning to the fray...

Glücklich Oktoberfest!
