The weather was pretty quirky this year for the fiesta. I have to admit though, it was way better than I could have hoped for considering it snowed in Colorado two days before we left for New Mexico! Of the 4 mornings we were there, the last day there was no launch because of the high winds. Of the 3 nights we were there, there was one full glow, one glow cut short when a balloon got carried away (literally, not figuratively!) and one 'candlestick' glow (glow with no balloons- because of the winds). By the way, did I mention that the fiesta is like a big playground for adults?! I wish videos posted to this blog better (hmm.... I think I'll have to create a workaround for that.... if I remember anyway....) because the stills don't do it justice. Talk about making lemonade out of lemons! We just love the 'fun' atmosphere of the fiesta. Such a good time-- winds or no winds.
