Albuquerque Balloon Festival

Have you been to the Land of Enchantment? When BALLOON all fill the air? It’s early in October And I wish that I were there The dark BLUE SKY is dotted With colors of all hues All shapes and size and baskets Most anything you’d choose HAPPINESS is waking To the sound of propane tanks As BALLOONS now by the thousands Take to the air in ranks Mdailey 7/17/11 I lived in Albuquerque for 4 years and enjoyed the sight of balloons dotting the sky just about any time the weather was good and the wind was calm. If you ever get the chance to get to Albuquerque in October, be sure to stick around for this festival. You will not be disappointed. Mike
