Flying Kites

From Bethany: On Friday the school organised kite flying in Taray, a nearby village. At first when we started flying kites we tried to use Sierra's kite that she made at school from bamboo, plastic bags, and wool. But after a few tries the kite broke so we had to use the kite that we bought at the store. Even with the store-bought one, it was still hard to get it up in the air. But when we did finally get it in the sky we only got a little bit of time to fly it before we had to go home.

Hi Bethany!
It's MaryAnn here on Vancouver Island :) The problem you had with your kites...was there too little wind? Too much wind? Fragile joints on the kites? I've had all those problems before. I had to begin with simple kites.

I love seeing the photos of you and Sierra in Pisac, among the dun colored mountains, at your school, and with your parents. We look forward to seeing you again...many months from now when you return from your explorations. It's a wonderful part of the world, don't you think? I certainly think so :) Lots of love to you and Bethany xoxoxox
