auf wiedersehen

On Monday we walked through the city and did a little site seeing. We stopped at the market where a few from the group visited a famous horse butcher and snacked on some horse sausage. I just couldn't do it! That's like a pet! Then we climbed to the top of the old Saint Peter's to take in the view. Another climb to add to our lengthy list! It was just a bit too hazy to see the Alps, especially through a camera lens.
Above is a picture of Munich Frauenkirche, the tallest landmark in downtown Munich. We visited the church but the tower was closed due to some reconstruction.
Later in the afternoon, we found our way back to the festival and stopped in Lowenbrau. The weather was perfect so we didn't mind sitting outside.
We were trying not to repeat any tents, but since we were the only ones of the group who had already visited the famous Hofbräu-Festzelt we agreed to go back. Before finding a table in the garden, we strolled through Augustiner Bräu.
...but it was pretty full!
We got lucky again, maybe because it was a Monday night, and were able to spend our last night inside a tent, standing on table benches and chanting with the crowd! 
Auf Wiedersehen Oktoberfest! You showed us a pretty great time!
