(Glenn) The highlight of today was our trip up the Sandia Peak Tramway in Albuquerque, NM. It is the third longest single span tramway in the world and the longest in the U.S. The crowds to ride were really growing by the time we left because the city is crowded with visitors coming to Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta. We had lunch in Corrales, NM and then went to the International Balloon Museum in Albuquerque near the Balloon Fiesta Park. We bought our tickets for the festival tomorrow morning and hope the winds stay calm enough for the balloons to take off in the morning. The park opens at 4:30 AM and everyone says if you are driving your own vehicle you need to be there EARLY. Probably leave here around 3:30 or 4:00 AM (OUCH!). Cathy is so excited, she has wanted to see this event for years, over 500 balloons will all take off within a two hour window. If it happens we should have some great pictures.
(Cathy) Yes I am so excited! So hoping balloons go up tomorrow. Also hope I can get rid of this headache. Sinus driving me nuts. The tram was sort of scary. So high up but the ride was smooth. I got a front window view.
