A collection of stuff

I love snow. I like it much better than rain, that’s for sure. I went out and it started snowing, and then it snowed more. And I took some pictures.

We didn’t have it planned, but the day we picked to carry the training in KW happened to be the start of the Oktoberfest. So, after we delivered our training Stella and me decided to see what it was all about. We parked on King St and then walked along it to what seemed to be something. There were some sausage stalls, a cart with beer kegs, souvenir shops, but we expected to see more people. Maybe because it was the first day and it wasn’t that late we didn’t see a very large crowd. The place didn’t seem that big either, only a couple of streets had been closed and we only saw one festhall.

So, we went into a tent to see if there was more going on there. And there was, but there were not that many people either. The music sounds a lot like the traditional northern Mexican variety since there was some German migration to Mexico a while ago, and apparently there is an Oktoberfest in Monterrey.After drinking some beer and Stella being asked to dance we went back outside to eat sausages and we met a parrot!

At first I thought this was a fire, but there was no report of a fire. I guess it was a cheap plastic toy aquarium catching fire, or a street hot-dog vending cart gone wild.
