What a nice drive to Albuquerque, left Rocky Point and went to Phoenix and then on to Grand Canyon and Flagstaff AZ. When you get up on I-40 and the trip is fast and the Red Hills where I could see Indians running the mountains and chasing deer and buffalo. You knew you were in Indian Country.I arrived in Alburquque and I had a room at Hard Rock Motel & Casino. It seems the Balloon Fest in not a small turn out any more. The first day had 79,000 people show up.
I had a friend Annette Dwyer and she works at my favorite Electronics store in San Diego and she came over and she knew people that were in the Balloon Fest and we got to get pictures up close and personal. Also we learned a lot about the Balloon Fest.
Linda Brownell was suppost to come to the Balloon Fest and I was going to meet her there but she went to the Nascar Races the weekend before the Balloon Fest and she got Bite? or Stuck with something at the races and what ever it was it was one nasty infection. She had to go on Antibotics and then she got contagious and had to keep a special cream or something to keep it from spreading. Since I had a room and had not been there since about 1987 I went and I am glad I did. Sorry I missed Linda but it was fun. Just for your imformation it cost $350.00 for a ride for one. You want be seeing any pictures from the balloons.
