Saturday-Balloon Fiesta


Saturday

We went to the Albuquerque Balloon Festival today. We got up at 4:30 am so we could try and leave by 5. The plan was to make it to Albuquerque around 6:15. We got there about 640 and got in a line of cars over three miles from the festival which was starting at 7am. A group of balloons took off earlier called the dawn patrol. They started out in the dark as small dots with bursts of light under them. Eventually they got bigger and bigger. There were supposed to be 500 balloons with 80,000 visitors. We watched most of the show from our car. The parking lot was full by the time we got there.  We were in line for at least an hour and a half. Then we pulled over to get some pictures. The show was AMAZING!!




Headed of Dodge City now

Staying at the Best Western North tonight and it's wonderful!
