Largest Ballon Event In The World

Sadly, John was unable to attend the 2013 Balloon Fiesta last week as his car died on the Thursday before and he spent his entire week of vacation tearing apart the front end.  It is still apart and, hopefully, he will be able to get it back together this weekend (or the following at the latest).  In the meantime, he is using my car to go to work.

The photos above are from a local television station.  The top two are of the mass ascension which occurs each morning.  The third is the hummingbird (new this year), fourth is the Creamland Cow, and finally the Angry Bird (also new this year).  This is the largest balloon fiesta in the world; over 500 hot air balloons are here each year.  Try to make it to the 2014 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta next October!
