Vacation part III - May celebrations

The traditions are still alive. This is a 'May tree', tall and straight, stripped of branches, the top is decorated with ribbons and such. The original tradition was that on the 1st of May a boy made 'May tree' for the girl he wanted to propose, but nowadays there's usually only one tree per village as a symbol of spring and love perhaps.

Aha Maj...

There usually is a street fair somewhere around 'May tree' too, I had cotton candy...

Okolo Maja boli hody, kde som si dala cukrovu vatu...

kofola, coke-like drink...
