14 April 2006 Good Friday Kite Flying at Horseshoe Bay
Today's Good Friday at a national holiday in Bermuda. The biggest event of the day is a gathering at Horseshoe Bay for sunbathing, lively music from a group called Chewstick and, most important of all, Kite flying. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. At one time, they were nearly a dozen kites in the sky. The temperature was about 20°C, the sun was shining, the ocean was at low tide, and hundreds and hundreds of people were scattered across the horseshoe shaped beach. There were people of all ages, culture, colours and personalities. At one end of each, that that looks northto the Atlantic Ocean, is a large mound of coral rock about 10 metres high. I climbed up to the top and joined other people there where I sat for some time taking in the view and taking panoramic pictures which I hope to put up onto this blog.
While I was there I also ran into my friend Larry. Well I've only been here a few weeks; but Bermuda is one beautiful place to live.
