Kite Festival: Friday, August 23, 2013

Cross the Columbia River to attend kite festival on the Long Beach (Washington) peninsula, which boasts a 28 mile long beach. Pleasant day sitting in the dunes in our Tommy Bahama beach chairs, protected from the wind by our hooded Gore-Tex parkas, while watching expert kite-flyers do some pretty amazing things with purpose-made sport kites. World record set – 81 Revolution kites in the air in close proximity and performing synchronized moves. Impressive. Intended to stay for the evening's illuminated kite flying and end-of-the day fireworks, but late afternoon rain drove us off the beach just as the day’s schedule was completed. Dinner of grilled rainbow trout, zuchini-prosciutto salad and sliced tomatoes.
