First kites

As you know, I've been thinking about Afghan kites, and I finally saw my first one. I was asked to go to the new building for the Voice of America and Radio Azadi, which is just a few minutes away from the Embassy. There, hanging on the back wall of the garden, were their very own Afghan kites!

So, following the speeches, the ribbon cutting, the trek up to the rooftop terrace, the views over the city, the snacks, and all that, I got my kite, neatly wrapped up in a cloth bag and ready to go. I don't have a picture for you, but soon Radio Azadi kites will be flying over DC.
