Holy Holi

I know that I'm supposed to be blogging about the prophet, especially since this is his birthday. I've just become a little distracted by all the other events that are happening today ...first it is Good Friday, UAE Mother's Day (did you girls forget?), Iranian New Years and my favorite...the Indian festival, Holi. There is a huge Indian ex-pat population here in Abu Dhabi and I'm convinced that no one can do festivals like the Hindus. Maybe it is all that spicy curry, but while the rest of us are dying Easter eggs, they are dying each other.
