Balloon Fiesta at New Mexico

Rememberance back to the time visit to the balloon Fiesta at New Mexico - November 2006.
This event took once a year in New Mexico due to the location, weather, landscape that most suitable for balloon to fly. Everyyear there'll be hundred & thousand of peoples from all over the world will fly in to New Mexico just to watch the balloon & attend the one week long fiesta.
Papa said this is the right chance to brought us to attend, since we were there and we should not miss the opportunity. and we decide to buy the ticket for the 1st day as they have more participations from over the world on the 1st day.
on that day, we have woke up early in the morning as 4:30am. we need to catch the bus in front of Wal-Mart to get to the place. Driving there will be difficult as we might need to walk some distance to get to the entrance gate.
woooohh........the weather were so cool in that early morning. The sky were so dark, the park full of peoples seating or standing waiting to watch the balloon. There were foods, soveniurs for sales at the side walk.
Intel was once of the company that participate, intel have a total of 3 balloons.
Papa was participate on helping to pull the intel balloon on the 2nd day of the fiesta, so he got the chance to have a free ride on the balloon. To ride the balloon cost about USD 100+ per person. This is really a good experience if got a free ride.
U know, Papa also brought us to attend the last day of the fiesta. The last day was on night time and there'll be fireworks and different shape of Balloon on that night.
Very unfortunately, that night not much balloon fly off becoz of the wind & weather make lots of balloon have to "close down" else the wind will destroyed their balloon.
