It was in Albuqerque that we tried to go hot air ballooning before and for the three days in a row that we were there we were unable to take to the sky because of the weather and by the third day we had to move on. It wasn't during the festival though. The city of Gatineau which is across the river from our home town of Ottawa has a yearly balloon festival as well, we have never been to it but we did get to see a lot of the different balloons in the air.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-76025016128290011122022-04-08T00:30:29.285-04:002022-04-08T00:30:29.285-04:00So glad that you enjoyed the pictures!

Luckily the balloons have a lot of space to spread out quite a bit and they all take off at slightly different times. We have to agree 28 people in a basket is a little too much for us as well, I am pretty sure that they are the ones that are paying less money for the experience. Anyways, we are happy that we decided not to go. Seeing the balloons in the air both mornings and then seeing all the formations on our hikes from both the top of the valleys and from the bottom of the valleys we feel we got to see the Cappadocia area really well without having to pay the big bucks.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-32763762522364842892022-04-07T17:30:30.243-04:002022-04-07T17:30:30.243-04:00The balloons are magical!

We got some beautiful photos, as you did. I looooove your header photo! What great timing that you got to experience that.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572905521059358017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-32817078065576232382022-04-07T11:17:35.613-04:002022-04-07T11:17:35.613-04:00Those pictures made me smile!

Still a glorious sight to see. Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553058721622445412noreply@blogger.com
