Wine Oktoberfest... kinda

We might not have made it to Oktoberfest this year but we certainly made it to a 'fest'. In the Hubby's region, its wine festival time so we went to the Dürkheim Wurstmarkt... or Wurstfest.... which is directly translated to the sausage fest (*immature giggle*).

This isn't a great shot, but its the only one we got sitting in the 'wine halls' (instead of beer halls for Oktoberfest) where people drink huge glasses (0.5L) of wine & eat copious amounts of pig related meat products. Unfortunately it was only 2pm, so not too many people drinking, drunk or all that merry yet.
To get into the festivities, I ate a pork knuckle and listened to the folk band play their jolly German tunes.
