Albuquerque Balloon Festival

 Once again we got up about 345 and left the trailer at 4:15. We parked at the trailhead and road 3 miles into the park Keith with the Chase crew said we could meet him and drive in but it just seems so easy to ride our bikes that we will probably continue to do this. A new feature is a drone show in the morning, which is really nice. It is produced by the Sandia Casino and resorts, but it is amazing to see all these little drones. Create pictures in the sky. The glow went off seamlessly and that is a beautiful sight to see  Balloons started to launch and then we got to roll out Rat Cheese. It’s a much larger balloon than the Smurf balloon We did in 2019.  The pilot is Kiko who is from Brazil and his wife is Sue. There are four other Brazilian teams, but they will not all be launching their balloons as some are experimental. Keith went up in the balloon with Kiko and we went in the truck to chase after it. It land With several other balloons, not far from the fiesta Field. When we got back to Chrissy’s to lunch at a restaurant called The range. spot there were lots of people in there. The walls are led with Arts so I enjoyed that. I had spinach enchiladas and Scotty has pork tenderloin sandwich. We each had a heavy bites and beer. We went back to Chrissy‘s for just a little while before we hooked up our trailer and went over to the Elks Lodge. we are in the lot and it seems to be an ideal spot to camp. It should make for an interesting week.
