Last night Pete and I went with some friends to the Hare Krishna Festival of Colors. It is a religious ceremony that symbolizes the coming of Spring and the conquering of good over evil, but for us it just translated into a lot (literally thousands) of BYU students dumping powdered chalk all over each other. Pete and I missed the initial throwing of chalk because we were stuck in the terrible traffic trying to get to their temple, but we saw the giant pink cloud over the temple from all the chalk being thrown. As you can see, people definitely made sure that we didn't stay clean. It was so much fun and I am still cleaning the powder out of my nose, ears, and hair. The best part was going to dinner afterward while we looked so pretty.
