Highlights from Germany trip / Oktoberfest

Highlights: Oktoberfest, Running 3 Countries Marathon (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), Mercedes Museum, weekend in Stuttgart with John Holmes (high school friend), process improvements and understanding with Europe Logistics/Purchasing team, and a real Dutch windmill! Oh – and sleeping in my car one night because I locked myself out of the Hotel at 1am!!

Oktoberfest / Stuttgart Volksfest with John Holmes (Lakota ’90). Biggest bunch of happy beer drinkers I have been around!! What a fun time! Drinking beer by the liter in huge glass steins (your arms get a real workout!)… fantastic chicken dinner… great music (live band – German classics and 80s music from America)… wonderful people! Despite all the beer consumed… no fights... no arguments… no mean looks… no sloppy drunks… nothing of the sort! Amazing! After shutting down the tent… we took the U-Bahn to another part of the city to an Irish Pub in Stuttgart. Awesome cider and more fun. Some delicious shawarma and a taxi back to John’s apartment safe and sound.
