It must be Balloon Fiesta because it began raining Saturday afternoon and hasn’t really stopped yet. It seriously hasn’t rained since July and the advent of Fiesta brings rain every year. It’s ridiculous. Anyway, I am triply glad I got my lazy ass up Friday morning at 5:30am to go see a couple of balloons set up and take off. Because I am a dedicated Albuquerquian, I took pix for you all to enjoy. It was still kind of dark at 6:45, so the pictures are a bit grainy and you will deal with it. Please note that hot air balloons get great mileage as long as you don’t care where you go.
Pix after the jump!

This is one of the things I miss most about New Mexico. However, my husband and I agreed we would be spending our vacation in NM just so we can see the Fiesta.
We were there two years ago for my b’day. We went up and it was an awesome experience. If I could afford a balloon I would have one. When we landed we landed in a pueblo area and the police came to visit. The ladies who came out of their homes told the balloon owner that if they would take a few of their children up, they wouldn’t file any charges…so he did.
Hmmm
So many balloon
I never see the balloons festival

I wish I can drive and fly with those balloon
