Nepal - Happy Holi, Water and Paint

In Nepal, Holi proved to be our new favorite holiday. Anyone who dared to walk the streets that day was bombarded with water balloons and attacked by teenagers with handfuls of powdered paint. Jodie and I spent most of the day up on the rooftop of our hotel where we took full participation in the festivities by having an hour 8 water balloon fight with the neighboring buildings and people on the street below. We managed to stay relatively free of paint until we ventured out for lunch when we were swarmed by the teenagers and quickly smothered in red and yello paint. Everyone involved seemed to be having a wonderful time and we felt very lucky to be here during this unique Nepali holiday. Enjoy these embarrassing pics! Jodie thinks the picture with the four serious gentlemen is especially funny because of how comical we look. We laugh when we think about how not serious they were before snapping this picture. They were all smiles when they asked Jodie and me to take a picture with them!
