Hofbrauhaus

Of course we had to revisit the Hofbrauhaus, site of memorable experiences in 1979 (including, not least, an acquaintance, a nurse, who downed 3 mugs in our presence before heading off to work)

A way-old place, re-built twice since the war, but to generally the same specifications

Most people head to the bier garten

Or the ground floor halls

But we headed to the upstairs Festsaal, with its entertainment and 
buffet meal of Bavarian goodies

Including bier; 1 liter is the only size available (at least

that's what I told Vicki)

There was the old German band

And dancing, including slap-dancing and whip-dancing

And, most memorably, this card, stuck to the ceiling above the stage at the 
head of the hall, 30 feet up there; none of the staff conceded any knowledge 
of it

There it is (click to enlarge); I believe it marks the spot where Hitler's bullet hit 
(in the re-construction) in his attempt to quell the Beer Hall Putsch crowd in 1923

(everyone kept putsching and tschoving...); must check this out someday
