In the midst of frustration with minor administrivia, I went out to the Pevensey Levels and flew my kite for awhile. These little parafoil kites are amazingly compact and yet fly wonderfully easily if the wind is sufficiently strong.
I carry one of these parafoil pocket kites with me often when I travel. They are great fun and very relaxing. I get the kite up in the air, lie on the grass (avoiding animal deposits), and watch the kite and the birds and listen to the sounds.
