During the latter part of our day Dave and I spent several hours wandering Chowpatty beach during a festival of kites. There were thousands of people at the beach flying small kites trying to cut each others kites with the string of theirs. We learned that this was part of a traditional celebration for the coming of summer when the winds pick up. We really enjoyed the family atmosphere and smiling faces everywhere.
It was hard to take picture though. As soon as you lifted your camera people would come from everywhere to get their picture taken and would not relent until one was snapped. Despite the constant tugging on our arms and hoots from kids wanting pictures it was a great way to see how families enjoy themselves together.
