Festival of Colors

This weekend we finally made it to the Festival of Colors at the Hare Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork. Matt had been once before, but I had never been and I have always wanted to go. It's this big Indian festival where you throw colored powder all over everyone. I think it's made out of cornstarch and flour. And it smells delicious!

They also have music and dancing and chanting and there were tons of people there! We decided to ride our bikes to avoid any parking and traffic issues and it turned out to be a great idea.

We were toward the back of the mob, but it was still impossible to move with all the people around us.

Anyway, it was a lot of fun.

A lady in my ward is Indian, but from Fiji. Anyways, she was just telling me about this and how neat it is. That is cool that you went. And, I'm really glad that all is well with your dad. Jane was telling me about the tumor and I've been meaning to email you to see if all was okay.
