A fall in Germany?

Hidy Ho Blogger!
I can't seem to remember if we decided a length of time.
I just realized the comment about the time of year, I would LOVE to do October. Not to mention some fall colors maybe!
Oktoberfest ends on October 1st, so anytime after that would be alot less busy. (and less expensive)

According to the book Oct 3rd is the Day of Unity, which is the national holiday the commemorates the day the Berlin wall fell down. ** which was not the exact day it fell, that was November 9th, but that was also the day that was the day the german republic was founded and the defeat of Hitlers first attempt to get control of Munich, but was considered an 'inappropriate day' for this celebration so they chose Oct. 3rd.

Oct 31 is Reformation Day. Is that anything like Halloween?
No. Interesting but no. Kind of Ironic.
That is only celebrated in Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.

October Temps Average 42 low-55 high
June temps average 52 low-71 high
Only hoildays in June are Fathers Day, Flag Day and First day of Summer. Just like American.

Did you know in the US October 6 th is German American day?
So October '08 sounds Great to me!
