Albuquerque Balloon Festival

Margaret and I left the ranch on Friday morning and drove to Albuquerque.  We took a small detour and drove through Bosque del Apache, looking for birds, but saw none.  We stopped 
in San Antonio, NM for lunch at Buckhorn Tavern, for a famous chili burger.
We stayed overnight in Albuquerque, and were up at 3:30 on Saturday, to go to the Balloon Festival.  The Balloon Festival was amazing!  The spectators are part of the festival, on the same field as the balloons.  Five hundred fifty hot air balloons ascended within an hour and a half!
