Münsinger Ochsenrennen

We went to the Ox races today.  Really.

Every four years the small town of Münsing, a little ways down the lake from us hosts ox races. Our friends the Sturgills went last time and told us we couldn't miss it this time. So we dragged the girls out of the house and we were off to the races.

It is set up in a big giant field with a "race course" about 200m long. There are several races, most ending with the ox being prodded or cajoled across the finish line. Every once in a while there was a great run.

There were lots of people enjoying a bright, sunshine filled day and having fun. As with any event in Bavaria there was plenty of bier and of course a tent setup for food and drink afterwards. Any excuse for a party!
