This weekend was the annual Kite Festival on South Padre Island.
I stretched the Dr.'s orders a little and left the walker at home in favor of a cane and we went to the festival early in the day so we could get a good parking space and not have to walk much.
Don't know what he is taking a picture of, the kites are behind him.
Not much wind and slightly overcast but not a problem. If you know how to do it, you can raise a kite inside a building with no wind at all.
The price range of kites sort of surprised me, This one is in the $25 range
Whereas this one cost about $270
and some of these are more than a thousand bucks.
I don't know how much was paid for this next kite, but it sort of looks like laundry on the clothesline. . hope they didn't pay too much for it.
These kites have sand in their feet to keep them grounded.
Nice for the little kids to have a hands on. Note the kite hands in the background. I kept waiting for the rest of the person to go up, but we had to leave before he got the whole thing together..if indeed there was more to it.
."It followed me home, can I keep it?"
Sweet cheeks
I have to eat a little crow here. I said in a previous post that I wouldn't eat at any restaurant that had Dirty in it's name, but we have heard so much about the fried shrimp here, that I gave in and after the kite fest, we went to Dirty Al's, even though the sign in the window says, Sorry, We Are Open.
Outstanding dinner.
I would have a problem about going to a lawyer who advertises a malaise. Melaise, in my mind means uneasy, not having enough energy to get the job done.
Think it means something else in Spanish?
