Kite Flying!

I stood in the luscious grass and began to feel the wind take the kite soaring to new heights, the song that popped into my head was from the Disney classic, Mary Poppins, "Let's Go Fly a Kite". As I began humming that song, the words of the melody came to life and I began to dance with the kite. It was a joyous serene moment of life.

Who knew flying a kite could make you feel so relaxed?

I had not flown a kite in quite some time and I have no idea why I stopped in the first place, but when setting up for this flying session, it was almost like it never left my memory bank.

Korean Friendship Bell

As we drove down the hillside to arrive at what looked like a normal park, in the distance, there was a pagoda standing alone. The serenity of the wind and sunlight created the perfect ambiance. As the pagoda began to fill my view, the purpose of my visit became clearer as a vision of friendship in the form of a bell. The Korean Friendship Bell that is.


History is a mysterious beauty in which it becomes more enticing as you uncover more in-depth and the history detective that I am, I wanted to know more about the historical Korean Friendship Bell that might not have been shared at the actual monument. So, I went onto the City of San Pedro website and I was able to get some more detailed information about this bell.
