balloon bonanza

We saw lots and lots of beautiful balloons at the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. It was a visual feast of brilliant colors and fancy and funny shapes - flying cows, pigs, stagecoaches, Darth Vader and so much more.  The only possible negative was that balloons seem to have to launch at dawn so we were at the balloon park by 5:30 each morning. It was worth it.  The dawn patrols and mass launches were simply beautiful. Now I'm off to bed and I really won't care if I'm not up in time to see the sunrise tomorrow.
