I can't breathe!!

Here are some pictures from the Festival of Colors a couple weekends ago. My roommates and I and a few other friends packed up our bags and headed down to the Hare Krishna temple for a little adventure.

Here's how it works:
1. Buy mulitple packages of colored cornstarch.
2. Push yourself through the crowd to find the right location.
3. Try not to lose your friends as you move through the masses of people.
4. Wait for the appointed time.
5. Begin throwing colored cornstarch at friends and strangers alike.

It was seriously hilarious and slightly painful....only because I was suffocating and I couldn't find fresh air in any direction. I probably have purple lung now (I know my clothes were permanently altered...even down to the inner layer)!!!



We had a great time! Seconds before this picture was taken, someone unexpectedly threw yellow cornstarch right in my eye. I managed to smile for the picture, but right after this I could barely keep my eye open and the worst part was that I didn't have a clean anything (finger, shirt, tissue..) to wipe the cornstarch out of my eye.
