Kite flying use to be a very popular childhood pastime activity.The skies are no longer littered with multi colored kites covered with thin paper,others with clear plastic.The tradition has died off considerably but nevertheless kite makers still display their cerf volants on the streets and children of all ages, mostly boys, and young adults go on rooftops during Holy week to fly their kites.
