kite contest


A kite flying contest was held on Sunday. Unfortunately, the winds were relatively mild and not great for the kite folks. It's too bad because it was really windy Saturday. Oh well. In any event, it was a beautiful day otherwise and people seemed to have plenty of fun. The color of the kites and expertise of the kite flyers was impressive.
Today was the state funeral of Sir Edmund Hillary. It was quite a big deal here. I heard one commentator say he is probably the most famous kiwi of all time. Apparently he was a very humble man and a true national hero. Here's to you Sir Ed!
