Sunday August 19/12 update
Parque Paraiso was hosting a children’s festival centered around kite flying.   There were many kids helped by parents trying their hand at it with plastic kites or homemade kites from newspapers.  At times it was quite windy which created havoc with large signs and even an air-filled amusement slide overturned.   Luckily it did not appear that any children were hurt.  They just deflated it quickly and set it up again later.
I caught a lot of Sunday family recreation on the walk home including futbol, volleyball, picnics and fun pets.
Cheers, Al

So cute that he almost ended up coming home with me!
