The other morning I walked out my front door and was ambushed by all the
little kids in my neighborhood.

There was a holiday called Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors.
Everyone runs around and throws colored powder and water on each other.

It was quite exciting, but it definitely took a couple days to get all the color off. I looked like I had a skin problem for a day or so and my roommate looked like she had been beaten up.
It was a fun experience!
