Being first time parents, our lives were, and in still many ways are, ruled by the nap schedule. As a consequence, we never stayed out later than 8 pm while living in the hotel. G's bedtime was OUR bedtime. When we did move out of the hotel, we didn't have a sitter. So while we were able to stay up later, (maybe 9pm??) we still didn't get out and experience the nightlife.
We did get an opportunity to deviate from our normal routine when Oktoberfest came around. C's office had a table in a biere tent at Oktoberfest. Our first Oktoberfest in Germany! We weren't going to miss that. So we decided to break our self-imposed rules and head downtown with G, via public transportation, for an evening of fun. And what fun it was.
For the price of a ticket, you get three huge beers, half a chicken and the most unbelievable people watching experience. There was a German band playing David Lee Roth covers and the lederhosen-laden crowd went crazy and hopped on tables to their rendition of "Just a Gigolo".
We didn't stay long and we were all tired the next day, but it was an experience that continues to make me smile when I think of it.
