Not that I took it, or was there recently, or really had anything at all to do with it.  I've watched some World Cup Soccer from Germany recently though so… that counts right?  Yeah, that's the ticket!  Looking at this photo I fondly remember one of the reasons I enjoyed my visit there several years ago.  This photo is actually from Oktoberfest back in September-October of 2005, but hey everyone's drinking it up in Germany right now so why quibble?
