“Can’t you get treatment,” I asked her.

She cringed. “It’s expensive.”

“What about health insurance?”

“None since I lost my job.” She shifted her weight.

ROMANCING THE WIND – Kite Flying Exhibition

ROMANCING THE WIND
The guy flying the three kites is in his eighties, and he’s from Canada.

His name is Ray Bethell
He comes to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year.
His skin is like leather as he usually flies with his shirt off.
He’s deaf, so when he flies, we hold our hands up and wave them for applause.
He flies two with his hands and the third is attached to his waist.

Enjoy!
You must watch to the end to see the amazing landing of that last kite!
I would have those kites so tangled up, you could never get them separated again!
And make sure your volume is turned up because the music is wonderful and totally reflects the soaring of the kites.

Beautiful!
