    Hello Camille and Ben,, We just returned from our visit to Munich for Octoberfest and wanted to share how much my husband and I enjoyed our time there. So much to see, eat, drink, and experience that we just touch the surface during this visit. We're making plans to return to visit Stuttgart, Heidelberg, and Mannheim in late November for pleasure and my husband's work convention.
