Festival of Holi

Goa, Splendors of India: Chennai to Mumbai

Wow! Today we were in Goa for the festival of Holi—it was incredible. During the festival the tradition is to cover each other in flour that has been colored green, pink, purple, red, yellow, etc. so people are covered head-to-toe in brilliant colors. Even the streets were stained from the amount of powder that was thrown around. Many of the passengers and crew were painted today, as well as the Captain who came back to the ship with his face bright green! Everyone was happy to see a festival in action—it’s once a year, so very cool that we were here to witness it. (Though I’m not so sure the folks in the laundry room here on the ship are going to be so happy about their towels and washcloths…!)
