May 1 is a national holiday that still is celebrtated with a May Pole. Each village puts up these giant poles, bedecked with ribbons, and they stay put for several weeks. The day also seems to have become the national walking day! All day, you will see groups of people of all ages, hiking around the countryside. It was a beautiful sunny day, making a walk in the fields especially inviting.
You are so lucky to live in such a lush place. I know it is far from family but it really is stunning. I wish I could come visit and take pictures with my camera!
