My best friend James was in town for his birthday.
St. Patty's Day was celebrated on Saturday with tremendous excitement!
Sunday was Holi Hai on Haeundae Beach!
Exciting, exausting, incredibly fun!
Holi Hai, the Indian festival of colors, is by far one of my favorite holidays. It's a celebration that often coencides with the coming of spring, and we were blessed to find that spring arrived just in time for Holi! Sunday was bright, sunny, and warmer than it has been in weeks! I'm once again hopeful that it may be warm and stay warm at long last!
I love the spirit of Holi as it turns a group of strangers in white to a massive of friends covered in bright colors and brighter smiles. There is dancing and drinking and a fundamental loss of the quiet anxiety that often keeps us from speaking to strangers. But in the festival everyone can be family and dance and throw color on people. It's a fantastic time to enjoy life and remember that life is a joyful experience and its too rare that we get to come together and just enjoy ourselves for its own sake.
Here are some snapshots of this year's Holi festival on the beach! What and awesome time!
