This was my second visit to the Albuquerque International Balloon Festival (see my other post way back in October 2008), the first time as a local. I still had a good time and it was well worth waking up at 3:30am to be there for dawn, but the event did not have quite the same spark or excitement I felt on my first visit. The event has gotten considerably bigger in the last few years and due to tricky wind conditions the mass ascension was more of a trickle of balloons assembling. It was not the remarkable spectacle I saw last time. It was also quite a cold morning. Nevertheless the atmosphere was still cheerful and joyous and we had a good time being a part of it for a few hours. Thanks to Sara for somehow waking up at 3:30am!
