It's May Day here in Germany!!
May Day is HUGE here in Bavaria. Yesterday, our neighborhood had a nice little Strasse Fest (street fest) where all the men of the neighborhood dressed up in their traditional Bavarian wear, got drunk, and tried to put up a giant May Pole. It was very entertaining as always. When I took Banjo for a walk earlier today a few of the locals were guarding the May Pole because it is tradition for the neighboring town to try to steal it. If the May Pole gets stolen, which I can not imagine the logistics of that since it is 20 feet tall, then the town has to give some sort of ransom to the other town in order to receive it back.

I will try to post some pictures of area May Poles later in the week.
On a different note, the "Z" man will be testing for his yellow belt in karate this weekend. I will make sure to post an update with pictures of that. Soccer season has also kicked off for Syd and Paul is back in exercise mode so that leaves me pulling my hair out trying to get the kids to every place they need to be.
