After the fire

At Walpurgis, Swedes build bonfires. We walked past a popular bonfire location, and saw what remained — a month after the great fire.

Patricia Dolores in Golden Gate Park

I met this free-running parrot and her Pa in Golden Gate park. Apparently she is VERY fond of the pollen-laden centers of flowers

Of course, other people at the beach were quite a bit better at this than us.

Flying kites at the beach (3/4)

Flying a tote bag

Not only could we not fly the turtle, and broke it while trying… It even turned out that the tote bag we were carrying it in flew at least as good as the turtle itself!!

Flying kites at the beach (2/4)

Flying kites at the beach (1/4)

We decided to fly kites at Ocean Beach before we left San Francisco. We got ourselves a gorgeous silk Turtle kite, and set out.

Flying the turtle

It didn't fly very well…
