Brewers Win! Brewers Win! It was a late Friday night when we found ourselves huddled over the iPad in a dark and smoke filled "reggae bar" (that played no reggae but had free WI-FI) streaming the audio feed of the 5th and decisive game of the NLDS between the Brew Crew and the D-Backs. We had an ear bud each in one ear and sipped our 24 crown beer and wine ($1.25, if you're counting) and listened to Bob Uecker's classic baseball voice call the game...and we were ...

After a solid, and I mean SOLID, week at Oktoberfest it was a real treat to get out of town and into some fresh Alp air. Max 'the Axt' took the day off work to play tour guide and to give his newly surgically repaired knee it's first hiking workout. A slight detour via the wrong Autobahn turned the hour drive into two, but no worries; the scenic route was worth the extra time spent in the Alfa Romeo.

An hour later we found ourselves in the quaint lakeside town of Tegernsee which is well known for it's hiking, gorgeous lake and the Tegernsee Brauhaus. We headed into the hills not exactly...

OKTOBERFEST!! The overnight train from Amsterdam was brutal. I kept waking up thinking the guy across the aisle from me was choking on a steak or something as his snores were so violent. It was a long night but, we made it and exited the train into Munich's Hbf train station to find our friend Jason waiting to whisk us away to his and Jess' sweet ass apartment where there waited a hot shower, laundry machine and a bed (not to mention a fridge full of German suds)...
