Lots of Hot Air Here....In the Balloons, That Is!

Even cows can fly here!

It's Balloon Fiesta time in the greater Albuquerque area and our daytime skies are full of color. There is a phenomenon here called the "box" and that allows the balloons to fly north on one air current and then back to where they started from on the other. Placitas is north of the balloon park, and this weekend we had several balloons decide to land in Placitas. In the meantime, we staged the Luxury Open House Tour in Placitas. It was one gorgeous day. We did see lots of our Placitas friends we had not seen in a while. They love to look at their neghbors house, I guess, or pick up ideas for remodelling their own casa.  Luckily they had long distance friends with them. This is the time when all of Placitas has visitors who choose to come here to see, but not necessarily participate in, the festivities. Maybe they will be so entranced they will decide to buy a house and stay. We hope so!
