Hundreds of kites took to the skies yesterday as Guyanese families flocked to the coastal areas and open spaces to celebrate another Easter, the season in the Christian calendar, which began on Sunday and marks the ascension of Jesus Christ.
There was a kaleidoscope of colours as kites of various shapes and sizes fought for supremacy. On the East Coast Highway from Turkeyen to the Kitty seawalls, families and friends gathered to picnic, fly their kites or just to ‘chill out and have fun.’ Happy faces were evident as Guyanese took the opportunity to enjoy the last day of the five-day holiday.
Cars lined the roadway, tents were pitched, children ran wild, squealing with delight as parents helped them to hoist their kites.
