International Kite Festival Day, Jaipur

Kites fill the sky today. Young men and families cheer their kites on from rooftops, roadways, and just about everywhere. From our hotel rooftop, we captured a fallen kite, one of many decorating the trees. A guy from the rooftop next door generously tossed over some extra string attached to a pebble and tried to show us his technique. Let the record show our small paper kite was air born for about five seconds!
