May Pole

In Germany, it is a tradition every May Day (May 1st) to put up a May Pole in every city, but sometimes the neighborhoods put them up as well.  Ours was put up just up the street.  So we took a little walk to see the celebration.

These girls just make me smile.

When we got there the pole looked like this:


And then the hoisting started.  It took quite a few men to put this up.


Pete arrived just in time for someone to say "Come-help!"

Can you find Pete?








Almost there....

And then they locked it in.



Happy May Day!!

Great photos. I plan to attend the May Day celebration next year. I'm sorry I missed it. I LOVE the photos of Pete in his uniform helping raise the pole. Such a great memory of your time in Germany!
