October brings the balloon fiesta to Albuquerque. If you are lucky enough to have a cousin who lives there (I do!) you can drive down from Santa Fe the night before, and wake up at the crack of dawn to watch the mass ascension. It rained all night,but cleared up early in the morning just in time to see the balloons. There were hundreds of them. They come from all over the world for Albuquerque's clear air and perfect winds. It's quite a sight. Just another reason why living in this part of the country is so wonderful!
