 As of right now, we don't know what is going to happen. I hope to find out more the next time I talk to Bryan. I sent him a care package today with some banana nut bread so hopefully that'll help him get through the last couple of weeks in the field. On Friday I made a salad for our FRG meeting. It's definitely an unusual salad, but it's a good one so try it out!

Directions1 In a medium bowl, whisk together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and onion. Cover, and chill for one hour.2 In a large bowl, combine the spinach, strawberries and almonds. Pour dressing over salad, and toss. Refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

The local Outdoor Recreation office had a trip to Oktoberfest in Munich this past weekend. My friend Kimberly and I went together. We left Baumholder at 3am Saturday morning and arrived in Munich shortly after 9am. The weather was cool and wet so it wasn't the greatest for spending 14 hours outside. We walked around town a bit and then watched the parade which marked the official start of Oktoberfest. After the parade we ventured on to the fest grounds and walked around for a while just checking things out. We got really cold after a while so we decided to have lunch and warm up at a food stand. Next we went to a little biergarten and enjoyed the company of 2 older French couples that couldn't speak a lick of english! The weather got a little better while we were in the biergarten so we walked around the fest area some more. We ate us some chocolate covered fruit and met the "last Oktoberfest" bachelor! We finally decided to try to get in a beer tent. After waiting in line for over 2 hours, the tent was closed for the rest of the night! However, we were determined to get into a tent so we tried another one and after waiting about half an hour we got in! It was insanely crowded but we managed to find a table to sit. There were a lot of German people our age around us so it was fun talking to them. They thought it was so cool that we were from America! After we finished our pretzel and liters of beer it was getting close to time to leave. We grabbed a few last minute souven
