I’m tenting right next door to second largest beer celebration in the world after the Munich Oktoberfest.

It’s called the Cannstatter Volksfest or Stuttgart Beer Festival.

Over 4 million visitors a year.

Everyone but me drinks big steins of beer then tries not to get sick on rides like this.

Instead I sipped some cheap wine. Ate pretzels and soft cheese for dinner at my tent. I was celebrating.
