Today I went to Spanish Fork with Aimee (a girl I work with at WSU) and her friend Daniel for the festival of colors. The festival of colors is the Hindu holiday celebrating the welcoming of spring and the mythological triumph of good over evil. It was located at a temple in Spanish Fork. Every few hours there would be a countdown, and a kaleidoscopic explosion of colors filled the air like a powdered rainbow. There was an array of yummy Indian food and lots of lively music. It was a great way to release pressure and tension of everyday life; people dance, and sing and leave everything behind on that field. You forget about race or genders or whatever once you're covered with colors and look like aliens from a different planet. Everything just melts away and we ended up having the time of our lives!!!!
Here are some pictures:
Daniel, Aimee, and Myself waiting for the shuttle to the temple of fun!
This was right after we got there, we were buying our own colors.

Myself, Daniel, and Aimee all colorful right before we headed home.
Who knew throwing colored chalk at people could be so much fun? It was a really fun day!!!!!
