Mai 1: Fete du travaille

May 1st in France is Labor Day!! No one works, museums and restaurants close and Parisians stroll around and enjoy the day. Unfortunately, this year was on a Saturday (so I didn't get off from work) and it was cool and threatening rain, but a pleasant change of pace for Paris. Traditionally little vendors sell small bouquets of flowers which everyone carries around- I even received a small bunch from my host mom.
