Today is Constitution Day, always referred to simply by the date 17. mai. Pronounced something like this
This was the first time for many years that I have walked alongside the procession. I found it very emotional, almost to the point of tears. I just wish the rest of the world could be like this. We celebrate Constitution Day with a children's procession not a military one. The message is inclusion not power. People dress as they please, most in some kind of finery but some in very everyday clothes. Some women wore very short dresses and others floor length and everything in between And of course many wore bunad which is a kind of national dress that varies from valley to valley in the details of the colours and decoration.
