After church today we met up with some friends and rode our bikes to Ceasar Chavez Park to see Berkeley's annual kite festival. It was a nice day, a lovely ride, and some of the kites were truly amazing! The octopus above was one of my favorites. It was crazy how high some of the kites were-- some of the strings weren't even straight but curved mid-air. The nerdy-ness of some in our group could be noted in that it was pointed out that this phenomenon illustrated that strings really do have mass. (Oh basic physics class, why do you continue to lie to me? ;)) Of course, I added to the nerdy-ness by pointing out that one kite looked like a virus.
The bigger character kites reminded me of the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta; the biggest difference being that the kites don't have gondolas like the balloons.
