May Day, Lei Day

Hooray! Hooray! It's the first day of May.  I'm sure you know that this is May Day but did you know that in Hawaii May 1st is celebrated as Lei Day. According to my calendar source, popular flower choices for Leis include carnations, ginger, jasmine, kika (no idea what that is) and orchid.  I have visited Hawaii twice but have never received a lei while I was there.  However, when I was in Fiji in February, we were greeted with beautiful leis at the airport. I am going to include a picture in this post in honor of the day.  I don't actually know if this is Lei Day in Fiji, but if not It should be.  Happy May Lei Day everyone.
