Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta - Day 8


Thursday, 10/6/11: Today was supposed to be a Special Shapes Mass Ascension, but another approaching storm cancelled this event, the winds aloft being too strong. Luckily, with both Marcia and I taking pictures, I think we already photographed most of the special shapes on previous days.

Below are just a few of the special shapes.







I took advantage of the day to do a few chores around the rig. Tonight was our Farewell Dinner, another wonderful catered dinner, the main course being Polo Parm (Chicken Parm). With the day’s balloon events cancelled, a few of the caravan decided to hit the road early, but there were still many good friends, both old and new, to say, “Good Bye – Safe Travels” to.

Because of continuing winds, the Evening Glow of the Special Shapes was minimal, but they did get another spectacular fireworks show off after dark.
