October 1-3, 2011 - Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, Continued
The Glow at night was especially fun. You could walk within feet of the many balloons.
The midway had 150 booths, and the museum (seen here at night) was full of interesting exhibits.
In the evening, the bas balloon (helium and hydrogen) were lifted with international fanfare for the distance event (as of Monday when we left, a few had crossed into Canada).
AND....that was only the first day. More on the next few pages.
