Today was the Holi Festival at the Sri Sir Radha Krishna Temple, which most people know as the Festival of Colors. At this festival, people buy bags of specially made chalk that comes in beautiful shades of pink, orange, green, purple, yellow, magenta, and blue and, at set intervals throw them at one another and into the air in a massive cloud of colored dust. It is the coolest thing to see as all the colors hit the air and mix together and cover the people below. It's cool in another was too because suddenly, there is no race or differences among the crowd. We all look exactly the same and suddenly everyone is instant friends. This was my first time, and I went with my best friend Sadie. We had a blast and definitely met out goal of not leaving until we were COMPLETELY covered. It was awesome! My poor hubby couldn't get off work to come :( but now that just gives us a great excuse to claim the day first next year and go again! It is definitely something i could make a habit off. :)
