So um... you guys probably have much better weather than I do... it's been drizzly and rainy for most of the week and doesn't look like it'll stop. =(
There's this tradition here that on the first day of May, a lot of teenage guys put crepe-paper decorated birch trees in front of their girlfriend's house. They look somewhat like this (obviously, there are variations in color and how the crepe-paper is attached):
That one's in the village where my grandparents live.
And most villages have a village Maibaum too. You can read about it on Wikipedia:

I know I'm not in Bavaria, but it's pretty much the same here.
And... I don't know. I'm coming back July 6. When will I see you guys?!
I'm almost finished with my end-of-the-year exams. I only have one left.
Hope everyone is doing well!
Lena
