A few years ago - actually many years ago I had the fun of attending this balloon fiesta in Albuquerque. It was beyond awesome. I have ridden in two hot air balloons in my life. One in North Carolina that ended up crashing into a corn field because a sudden storm blew in. The second was in Africa over the Masi and once again we crashed. This time in the jungle after just flying over lions dining on a zebra. Despite the crashes and my fear of heights both experiences were totally awesome and I would eagerly fly again.
It is amazing the shapes, sizes and colors that balloons replicate. If you get a chance I hope you take a ride
Below is a video of last years fun. This year's balloon fiesta starts on October 6.
