On Thursday, we went to the center to look at all the Os Maios displays. In Galicia, there is a tradition of making displays out of all things nature to celebrate spring and new life. Most of the displays use flowers and greenery. Some of the displays use fruits such as oranges. Other displays even add eggs!
Pictured above are the displays from Vilaxoán (Alyssa's school)

| Each school sung typical Os Maios songs. In the songs, they complain about the horrible winter. This year, they complained about all the rain. The song ends on a happier note to celebrate spring. The kids in this picture are very young and all dressed in typical Galician outfits. |
