Here we are in Albuquerque New Mexico to experience our first Balloon Fiesta. It is 4:30 am and it's cold as hell but we are excited because the Mass Ascension will happen in a few short hours. One hour goes by, it's cold, it's windy. Another couple of hours goes by, it is still cold and even more windy. By this time we have had about 20 cups of coffee and had to buy a blanket as not to freeze to death when we hear the PA announcer say, there will be no flying today, we will try again tomorrow. TRY? Hugh! The next morning we had an insider say they wouldn't fly so we didn't go, of coarse it cleared up and they flew, oh well.
OK, it is Monday morning and here we are again but it is not as cold and no wind. The announcement, WE ARE GOING TO FLY. What a great event.
