If you wanted to know what i have been doing. There is only one thing i have any comment on or else it has been boring boring boring in Pune.
HOLI
Holi is the celebration of the beginning of summer with color, and water! So I of corse got together with the locals, and had a blast! By getting dirtier then i ever have before. You throw colored powder (which dyes you completely my hair is still red!). So it was pretty cool, but then we went out to a "official" celebration and rain dance, which was wild. It more or less turned into one HUGE Mud brawl. I was COVERED in Mud, everywhere! I have never been dirtier in my life, i was totally red and orange and then covered in Mud from head to toe! It was caked all over my body! It took well one long shower to get it all off, but a major highlight of my year!
So this is what i am up to for the next few day! My North Tour, I will tell you all about it when i get back!
