This week Cambridge hosted the 40th annual beer festival. Having lived in the city of the Oktoberfest my stakes are pretty high but I have to admit that we had a great time!
As you can see the tents are not as elaborated as the German equivalent (as an example: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99/Oktoberfest_bierzelt.JPG). But I have to say I am pretty glad already that there was some kind of shelter, because from what I have experienced so far they like to pretend it never rains in this country (parties outside, open-air theatres...).
There was still an outside area though:
(I have to draw your attention to the pose of the guy in the middle, who by the way is probably not doing it voluntarily but sinking in this:)
Due to some scarce rainfalls here the ground was slightly muddy (you can appreciate that a little bit in the upper corner of the picture). But that is what those festivals are about! Mud and happiness. If I wanted my shoes to stay clean I'd go to a wine tasting (which we did the next day, but that is another story and I have the feeling I am starting to make us sound like alcoholics...). They had amazing food as well and the atmosphere was really nice! Cheers!
