A Dirndl-ie Day

So yesterday was one of the most eventful days I have had in Munich. I went Dirndl shopping with a friend I met at the U.S. Consulate General meeting, and did we make a day of it!

One can't be living in Munich during Oktoberfest and not own any Tracht. So I had to get one. And it is the cutest one ever. And the way I see it, I will have a Halloween costume for all the years to come!

So Hillary and I went to Wies'n Tracht & Mehr on Talstraße, spent about two hours inside with every other girl and woman in Munich, and left with our very own Dirndls in our bags—mine a blue one with white detail and a dark pink apron, Hillary with a black one with red detail and a red apron. Sooooo cute.

After that, we wondered around the Ostbahnhof area, bought an OK Döner Kebab, (I have so had better), then went to Hillary's to take pictures in our newly acquired Wiesn Tracht. Then we changed and took the U-Bahn to Sendlinger Tor to meet up with some people I found through a group of English-speakers living in Germany. (I know it's not good to hang out with English speakers when you are in a foreign country, but at the beginning when you are so new and lonely, it's not a bad plan...)

So the rest of the night was spent talking to people from Ireland, the UK, Germany... Hillary and I were the only Americans. Ha.

It was a pretty good day.
