Would you believe we went to Octoberfest last weekend?  In Japan, of course.

We biked the few blocks to the train station where we met our friends, Bill and Tracy and their daughter Pearl.  We hopped the 1156 train to Hiroshima, then jumped on a trolley across town to the Atomic Bomb Site and former home of the old Hiroshima Baseball Stadium.

We ate the food

 

And drank the beer

And dutifully threw away our trash.

And after several hours we finally got our oom-pah band

complete with an alpenhorn

A popular event for one and all.
