Happy Holi!!

Last week on Saturday, I was lucky enough to experience my First Ever Holi. For those of you that don't know that Holi is, it's basically the celebration of the beginning of Spring and friendship. In India, thousands of people pour onto the streets wearing all white and throw colored powder and scented water on others. It is a time of joy and great excitement, exemplifying friendship, and love. It was so much fun and I was so happy that I had the opportunity here to experience it and boy did we experience it!

We were totally covered but it didn't matter at all, even the dog we made friends with was joining in!


This one is a before and after shot just so you can see the extent of our painty-ness  :)





Did my clothes get ruined? Yes. Did my mouth taste like paint for the next 4 hours? Yes, it was gross!!! Did my hair have hundreds of different colours in it? Yes. Did people think we were crazy walking home afterwards? Definitely! But, it was such a fun and positive event that none of that stuff matter in the end, especially due to all the stuff that has been happening in Boston at time! Enjoy the photos and hopefully you can get a taste of how much fun it was to be there and of course Happy Holi.
