2nd Day at the Balloon Festival, New Mexico

Friday, October 7, 2011

Wellllll…… evidently Albuquerque was in a severe drought until I came to visit…….. I arrived Wednesday, Thursday it sprinkled, and today, Friday, it has rained mostly all day. Actually, in the mountains of Albuquerque, it even snowed! So only for about an hour this morning , did a few Balloons inflate and tether the field, but none took flight. So what did I do with the rest of my day? I had a wonderful Mexican lunch and then went to a wonderful, huge Arts and Crafts Fair, which was more like an Air Fair. Yesterday afternoon, after a wonderful Mexican lunch, I enjoyed walking around Albuquerque’s Old Town, where it all first began in 1706. The buildings are now tourist appropriate shops and restaurants. I enjoyed every bit of it , until it started raining , of course. Whoever started that rumor that the desert was dry???
