ALBUQUERQUE BALLOON FIESTA DAY TWO - SEE PREVIOUS BLOG FIRST

MORNING MASS ASCENSION



HARD LIFE AT THE MUSIC FIESTA

RIBBON FRIES FOR LUNCH

FUNNEL CAKE FOR TEA



NIGHT MAGIC GLOW






Day two we spent 12 hours at the Fiesta – watched the Mass Ascension, Chainsaw carvings, five hours Music Fiesta with Darius Rucker, a top Country singer, Night Magic Glow and topped off with the Afterglow fireworks show – awesome!

And finally the Farewell Mass Ascension – we had an extra hour in bed and watched them from the campground – end of a wonderful weekend!

On Sunday we moved down the road to the casino for an evening and hiked part way up Sandia Peak and back again. There was a thought from Roy that we hike all the way and get the tramway down – 9 miles – but they had closed the tramway due to high winds – phew! We did just over 5 miles in hot sun which was just enough.

FAREWELL MASS MORNING ASCENSION
