Margie and I have been enjoying the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, NM for the last few days. We have been getting up at 5 am to see the Balloons lift off. During the day we are sightseeing. Then about 5 in the evening, we attend the Balloon Glow and Fireworks which ends about 8:30 pm. By the time we get home it's almost 10 pm. It's been enjoyable, but we need some rest!!!
^There were 94 Special Shape Balloons that flew while we were here.
^With Halloween just around the corner, this Witch fit right in.
^Margie likes Pandas, so this is for her.
^This was one of my favorites.
^And who wouldn't like Noah's Ark.
^Creamland was one of the sponsors. This was one large balloon!!!
^Darth Vader was one of the crowds favorites. Both young and old. This was
the first time the balloon has flow in the US. It's home is in Belgium.
^The Balloon Glow at night was one of the highlights of the Fiesta.
There were 94 special shape balloons that flew during the Fiesta. I have posted
several more in "My Photos". I hope you will take a few minutes and look at them.
There were over 700 "regular" balloons that competed in various types of events.
The main prize was a $50,000 Honda Truck.
