August in Ecuador is known as the Kite Month because it’s so windy. The other day I was at the main park and it was full of kids and families flying kites. In the city, if you’ve got a little bit of extra money, you might buy one of the cheap kites that are for sale in the park.
But a lot of folks make kites out of nothing! Trash, nada mas. (what’s the saying, “from trash to treasure). What you need is a plastic bag, and some light sticks and some string or yarn. In the country side you can see lots of kids flying their homemade kites. It’s a really beautiful sight, especially when you think about the fact that this was all going to be thrown away.
