Oct. 5, 2013


Oct. 5, 2013

We had already made up our minds that we weren’t going to the Oktoberfest doings today, as we couldn’t dance, and it started at noon.  That gives the party goers twelve hours of drinking beer, and we would be leaving earlier than 9:00, in that case!   We did, however, drive downtown this morning and listen to some great music by a trio in the gazebo until the parade started.  The parade was short, but it was mainly the community German Band, dignitaries, and the wagon pulled by a beautiful team of horses that carried the almighty keg of beer!   They had the tapping of the keg inside the gate of the festivities, but we had seen that done before and didn’t feel that we missed anything.  Is this a sign that we are getting old?  We went to the Icicle Microbrewery for a sandwich and a beer, and then we walked around town looking for dessert.  We left at 3:00 and feel we had seen and done it all.  We’ll be leaving tomorrow, and look forward to our next adventure.  I'm having problems posting pictures now, so will do that another time.
