Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta - Part 4















This Wells Fargo stagecoach never got off the ground.




This was one of the larger balloon and it never got off the ground.




















To wrap up:  The last two days have seemed four days long because we were up so early but it was worth it.  The people who organize the Festival do a great job.  An abundance of police and volunteers, moved hundreds (maybe thousands) of cars in and out of the festival each morning/evening session.  We manage to get there and home without any trouble.  Walking among the balloons is exciting and watching them take off was exhilarating.    The skies were filled with so much color and shape that it blows your mind.  Yet, when you look at the balloons in the sky, it looks like they are just floating calmly,     It is one place we would return to because I am sure the balloons change and it would be like seeing it for the first time.  Normally, we would be at the Covered Bridge Festival but decided to forego it and, instead, come here.  I am so glad we did.  It was totally worth it.  After the session this morning, we have been resting.  Tomorrow we begin again.  There are other things to do in Albuquerque.
