We think celebrating the 1ere aout up in Mayens is the BEST,
a nice small local celebration.
Here are the cousins getting ready for the lantern parade.
Furners, Hiatts and Guiwans all ready to parade away.
Ethan setting up camp for the firework show that is amazing,
esp. considering it's just a tiny mountain village.
One of the aspects of travel in Switzerland, Austria and Germany so many years ago was the new concept of parading with light filled lanterns. It captured my heart then, never left and has been reignited by your family doing this same centuries old tradition. So lovely to see. Absolutely magical.
