Albuquerque, NM - Morning Balloons Overhead & Sandia Peak Tramway

Mon (10-5-09): Yesterday's happy hour was very windy with dirt blowing--not much fun. Balloons are rising again this morning, but I am watching from inside the coach trying to get some pictures uploaded to this blog!!! Looks like there is very little wind this morning. Chuck went out to take some pics as the balloons are going right over the coach. There were 2 balloon accidents today and one man fell out of a balloon basket when it clipped the top of a tent over on the balloon field.
Today we drove up to the Sandia Peak Tramway to have lunch at the Sandiago's Restaurant at the bottom of the tram and then take the tramway up to the top of the mountain. This is the world's longest tramway [2.7 miles] and it is 10,378 ft high at the top.
