You know us: I am an American expat, my wife is a wacky German, and together we live in Hannover, Germany. Once again, we ventured to the Hannover Oktoberfest at the Schützenplatz fair grounds. This year, we rode all the rides, listened to all the music, ate all the food and drank all the beer. ALL OF IT. We also filmed the entire thing, so you can experience it with us! Check out the video below:

WARNING: Video contains a few F-bombs and some other swear words. (And screaming. Lots of screaming. From me, a full-grown man.)

  1. You know, of course, I watched every moment of the video. Everything one could want in a festival…f-bombs, hearing you scream like a little girl on the roller coaster (I am right there with you), John Denver and excellent beer under the tent, small children hurling in inflated beach balls…and that tingly wonderment while looking at the menacing sky; “will someone be struck by lightening while on the Ferris wheel?”

    I live for your outings. Give me best to your wife. You two are the best.
