Why don’t you go fly a kite!

Go fly a kite you say? Well, why sure! Why not August is kite month in Arequipa, the only time of the year when it’s windy enough to let your string out. Julia bought a few kites for the kids and they went nuts flying kites in close spaces all around the home, running to keep their kite up. A few times strings got tangled or caught in things, but these kids are so resourceful that when the sticks or string breaks, they didn’t just discard the kites, they taped and tied the kites back together without any hesitation or even breaking a smile. I forgot how fun kites were until I saw the huge smiles on the kid’s faces when Julia gave them the kites.

    How I love these kids. That would be like trying to fly a kite on a basketball court in center city Philly.
