Happy Halloween!

I put a few of the balloon photos from the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in a slide show for Halloween. Many of the special shapes fit the category. I hope you have a safe and fun Halloween!

Those are amazing balloons. Does someone set around thinking up balloon ideas and someone else makes them?

Jo Castillo said...

Sheila, thank you. Halloween is almost over. Good day.

Bag Blog, makes you wonder about how they decide. Many return every year and we wonder how they will do. The cow is hard to get up and the space shuttle is so big. It flew on Thursday, but not Saturday. Darth Vader and a few others were stuck in customs somewhere in China, they had been to Nepal or some such and just got to Albuquerque for the Fiesta in the nick of time. There were 550 this year I think and one year there were 700 balloons. It is really something to see.

Here is a link to one of the stories of the hostage balloons.

Joan, it is great. You can park and ride at several locations, so it is easy to get in and out as well.

Teresa, We love the special shapes, but on the regular days there are sooooo many more plus part of the special shapes and you can be right in the middle of the excitement.
