For over thirty years, the first week in October brings the smell of roasting chilies and the spectacle of around 700 hot air balloons filling the big blue New Mexico sky.
The extraordinary event is the
Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and it is reckoned to be he largest ballooning event on earth. Visitors from all over the world travel to the huge, purpose built, Balloon Fiesta Park in Albuquerque, USA, to celebrate ballooning. This year's festival runs October 6 through 14, 2007.
