Swords & More.

It's the name of a store that I passed every day in Hamburg, as well as what was found at a big medieval festival on the outskirts of the city that a group of us decided to explore one weekend. I was pretty surprised when we showed up to find that we were some of the only people present, but we found ways to amuse ourselves regardless of the calm. Some of these ways included shooting bows & arrows, throwing axes, watching sword-fighting, contortionists, jesters throwing fiery objects, parades of the plagued and mythical beasts, feeding caged prisoners, witnessing jousting matches with knights riding through fire, listening to bagpipe rock bands (bagpipe = Dudelsack auf deutsch), and drinking fruity Belgian beers and mead (Meth auf deutsch). Photos?

...One could also purchase chainmail bikinis colored in the German flag.

Epic? I think so.
