Holi! Festival of Colors!
Today after working on the guitar I jump on my bike and head into Calangute to run some errands. On the only intersection that I pass a group of kids covered from head to toe in multi-color powder pants blindsides me with handfuls of color power thrown at me. I quickly become the canvas in what looks like an Indian rendition of modern art. The same scene is seen throughout the town and as I ride down the busy streets I quickly become covered. In town I discover that it is an Indian holiday called Holi and this activity will continue for several days.
