More about kites

Of course, after the real Afghan kites had been transported from Afghanistan and flown above both the parking lot of the diner and the beach at Sandy Point State Park, the kite master learned on YouTube that the same kites can be purchased on-line. Both mylar and paper kites are available for a couple of dollars apiece. Of course, the website sells them as "Indian fighter kites." Clearly not the same thing as authentic Afghan kites, hand-carried from Kabul. For so many reasons.

Still, that does not mean that Indian fighter kites wouldn't make a highly suitable present one day soon.
