What a Spectacular way to start a Monday! Hot Air Balloons all over from the time I got on the bike until I got to work. I'll try to edit the many videos down to a few short clips.
The Albuquerque International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is something that makes it worth living in the Albuquerque area. Albuquerque is so popular with balloonists that there are only a few days YEAR ROUND that there are not at least a few balloons in the air. But during Fiesta they are just Everywhere, with the sky full of them. I've seen this spectacle for over 20 years now and it still is breath-taking to behold.

For the ride back I at first planned to fight road traffic on Jefferson soouth to Paseo and up on the bike trail just south of Paseo. However, I decided to try going through the Balloon Park area just to see how crowded and difficult evening passage might be. I went through right before 6 PM so it likely got worse as the sun set later on, but the traffic was almost nothing and I had no difficulty at all.
