A kite festival on Pelee, what should one expect? Who knew that people will have travelled from miles around to fly their kites? The weather, though horrible didn't dissuade anyone - both participants and gawkers alike. Papa had ordered extra kites from India and was ready. Unfortunately his kites do not hold up well in the rain. So though we didn't see him doing any of his tricks, we sure saw how high he can fly. His string is about 1000 ft and in one case made the kite disappear above the clouds. The whole event was quite amazing and I am very glad that we were there to see it.
Papa with his serious expression. All the while making sure that Brian caught it on video.
Papa's kite so very high that you will need to click on this picture to actually see it.
Being used to having someone help, Papa enlisted Brian to reel in the string. As you can tell there is a specific way to do it just right - neither Brian nor I could master it!
Here is a view of some of the kites. Hopefully you can tell in comparision to the trees how large these kites are.
