O'Fest 2007

Anytime is the right time for Oktoberfest! - Even if it's a month later. Hope you all enjoy the photos. Stay tuned for more posts from our EPIC trip.

"Are you going to Oktoberfest too?" askes Emma riding the train to Munchen.

Welcoming all who travel from afar...say Korea for instance. A welcome sight!

No better place to re-unite with friends than OPENING day...Moses, Vegas, Midnight, Sputnik & Tom.

Almost makes you feel dirty...almost.

Nothing attracts the ladies better than a great smile.

No optical illusion here...that pretzel is bigger than Emma!

Enjoying some rays, drinking a cold liter of Lowenbrau with Gus, Mo and co.

PROST!!!

EIN PROSIT...EIN PROSIT....

I'm sure you've all been waiting for this. The 3rd installment of our EPIC adventure. Following are pictures of "THE NIGHT BEFORE" Oktoberfest. Standard tradition to hit THE HOFBRAUHAUS the night prior, it was everything I remembered and more. Enjoy the photos and video.

P.S. Any and all pictures with a likeness of Tom are only coincidence.

Amateurs! Look at the foam this guy is creating.

I shouldn't complain, the New Yorkers sitting at our table picked up the 1st round. Thanks Kids.

Gus shows his displeasure over spilt bier.

Johnny, Krystal and Tom warming up and stretching out for Opening day...

Pretzel (Brezn) eating is serious business...you can't take this stuff lightly folks!

Okay, maybe you can take it lightly.

Short video giving you just a taste of the insanity! Video is a little shaky, but that was due to the 6.9 magnitude eathquake occuring at the time, funny thing is no one even noticed.

Garmisch...Part Zwei!

More pictures and even some VIDEO for all you technology geeks out there.

T, J, and E enjoying a day at Edelweiss Lodge

No explanation necessary...

The effects of eating a candy apple

Market day in Garmisch, and they come out in the hosen/drindl...how awesome!

J and E enjoy our first dinner in Garmisch...please note, it was 3pm - I felt like I was eating dinner with my grandparents it was so early.

Another spectacular sunrise...witness'd our fair share, having been awake since 3am and watching Dora with Little E. Lucky for us, Emma is completely literate in Spanish now.

Ahhhh...Garmisch

Indeed the Pagano clan has returned from our epic trip west...

Germany and Italy still exist in all of their grandeur.

Over the next 3 blog entries we'll try and share but just a taste of the sights, smells, and good times we shared.

We spent the majority of our trip to Germany in Garmisch...one of our favorite towns. Our trip from Korea to Garmisch was straight out of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles...but totally worthwhile once abroad the train to Garmisch and able to take in all the scenery. Here's a taste;

Good food, great friends reunite at "The Fraundorfer"

Emma had a tough time refusing to drink, but she was the designated driver for the evening. Plus, look at the size of that beer!

A theme for our trip, Emma sleeping. She was a great traveler, and put up with a lot of Mama and Papa's adult antics...thanks Little E!

"High five for vegetables!"

One last parting shot for Volume 1...check back soon for more from the trip.

Everland's latest attraction

"What are all those Koreans looking at?"

Wait for it....

BINGO...American babies!

Aqua-girl sightings!- Tell all your friends! NOT A HOAX!

Maybe not as popular as Bigfoot...Acqua-girl paid the Pagano household a visit. FOR REALS!

Emma Steals the Scene....again.

You lookin' at my bum? Cheeky Monkey!

Just pinned on the rare rank of Major Cap-i-tan!



















Bubbles...they're all the rage.
