Sea Wall at Easter














Kite flying on the sea wall at Easter is supposed to be one of the big things in Georgetown. Now, I know in Jamaica that we'd be flying kites at this time, but we don't have a sea wall with breeze ready and waiting. So, apparently this is the place to be!!!  AD and I had a loose plan to go, and I even thought, maybe we'll buy our own kite!!!!

The funny thing is, I keep forgetting I'm not in Jamaica where the enterprising young would've been lining every street leading to the sea wall and selling kites all along it. So, on our walk to the sea wall... there were NO kites to be seen. We realized quickly enough that if' we wanted a kite we would have to hike it down to the market or something to get a kite!!! So, forget THAT.

We were also quite surprised that the sea wall wasn't packed with people flying beautiful kites in the wind. I don't know if we were too late, or more than likely too early, but, it was a HOT, windy day and would've been perfect for kites... if you could stand the heat. As it was there... without a kite in hand, sitting in the heat waiting for more people to come was only an option for a very short while. It was simply TOO hot to wait!
