First May in Moravia

Hello friends!

Today is May 1st (what, already?) or, as my students like to call it, first May. In addition to being labor day (which was a big deal when they were a communist country) it is also czech valentines day. I tend to like the Moravian version better, becuase there are no Hallmark cards or obligatory roses. All you need to do to celebrate first may is to kiss your sweetheart under a cherry tree. I'm told any blooming tree will work, but the cherry tree is preferable. Cute.

Sadly I have no boy this first may and, my botany skills being somewhat lacking, I probably couldn't identify a cherry tree anyhow. Something to keep in mind for next year. Those of you playing on US soil, however, still have plenty of time.

Enjoy!
