Fest ti VAL!





The Festival of Colors is one big mass of college students with a mix of high school kids and a few randoms. It is how the Indian Culture (as India Indians, not native americans) celebrate the coming of Spring! I love to celebrate Spring especially after a winter that seemed like it was forever long, and with a few straggling spring snow storms it still seems like Winter is here! BLAH! GO AWAY SNOW! I am ready for some outdoors, I love campfires and hiking in the summer, I don't think life can get much better than a few smores and your hair filled with the burning stench of last nights fire in the mountains. Anyway back to the festival, Kira, Phil and I were the only ones that ended up going, I drove and now my car is stained with pink and orange chalk! haha. It was Phils first time to the festival, and mine and Kira's 2nd time, we went last year together and had a blast! :) My mom told me that like 30,000 people went to the festival this year and man do I believe it! It was jammed pack! People were parking their cars like 5 miles down the road, but I was smart and kept driving thinking there will be a spot close to the temple and WABAM there was! WOOHOO! I am so smart sometimes, but other times I'll admit I can be somewhat of a dunce. Anyways look at our fun pics of the Festival!
