I hope you all had a lovely May Day! In Hawai'i, May 1st isn't the workers' holiday it is here in Europe - it's Lei Day. Since the 1920's, May Day has been a celebration of Hawaii's culture and flora and especially our traditional lei!
Members of the May Day Court at the University of Hawaii in the 1940's decked out in a variety of lei.
Today my mother strung a plumeria lei for me in honor of the holiday. Mahalo mom! I wish I could wear it today - plumeria smells so good!
