Albuquerque, NM Balloon Fiesta

Thu (10-08-09): Special Shape Rodeo--Well we were up at 5:30 a.m. today to walk over to the balloon field to walk among all the special shape balloons as they were being rolled out and inflated about 7:00 a.m. Quite a sight to see. Chuck took about 300 pictures and I am wading thru them to pick out a FEW of the shapes that I haven't already posted! It was really alot of fun and I'd highly recommend it.
