Maifest

 Hey lovelies, this post is somewhat overdue, but May Day in Bavaria is definitely not something to miss. I saw two unique celebrations in Egmating and Hoehenkirchen, little neighboring Bavarian towns. The celebration centered around setting up the Maypole, which weighed 4.5 tons and the process took hours. Time went by so fast though with the help of Bavarian music and lots of food. After the Maibaum was set up, there was a dancing celebration, more music, and of course beer. One of the things I love most about Munich is that they seem to find a way to make a unique cultural celebration out of every holiday. Did you do anything fun for May Day?
