We went to Kolkata last weekend to visit my friend JSD and his lovely family. We stayed at their apartment complex where they hosted Holi festivities. I think Holi originally was celebrated to welcome spring but the way it is celebrated is with all out water wars and colored dyes. Social norms are set to the wayside as nobody is immune to participating in the fun.....men, women, young, old. It was the most hysterical display of recklessness I've seen in a long time. And it was a good way to bond with one of our new favorite families.
We had a little bit of time to see bits of Kolkata. Jeremy became Glen's new hero when he took us to Eden Gardens for a Cricket World Cup game. And we did a quick stop at Victoria Memorial. Good weekend! Thanks to the Seelinger-Devey family!

ReplyDeleteI WANT TO PLAY!!!! When you get back to Denver we should start an impromptu street paint fight!
ReplyDeleteBut wait, are you coming back to Denver? (lump in throat!)
Hells yes Summer, I am SO down with that idea!! We're working on where's next for us. Glen starts applying in December. Could be Denver. Could be Bristol. Will keep you posted! But I'm still holding you to that paint fight!
