Fun, Food, and Fair

The other night we went to a folk fest in a nearby town in Germany. People were dressed up in their traditional German dress: the guys in their hats, white shirts, and suspenders, and the girls in their flower dresses. Of course, there were about four different beer gardens there, and everyone was drunk and singing and dancing to drinking songs. It was a lot of fun. There were candy nuts, and pretzels three times the size of you head, buttered mushrooms, and crepes. The rides were the typical ferris wheel and bumper cars as well as this ball that you sit it and then get pull back and catapulted into the sky like a slingshot. there is a camera in the ball so that it videotapes your fae as you ride the ride. It was hilarious to see the look on the peoples' faces as they went flying in the air and came speedy back down to earth. I munched on a pretezel and nuts as I watched the German bands play and the people dance on the tables with their pint size steins and sing there songs. It was definitely a great German cultural experience.
