Staying Another Night

We are suppose to leave by 10am tomorrow morning, we all want to stay one more day because Thursday they are bringing out the character and odd shape balloons and we want to see that. What we will do is get going on Thursday late morning instead of Wednesday, still should be home by Sunday.

The guys didn't get to work on the balloons Sunday morning because Saturday night we had a monsoon that hit here, it rained, I mean poured all night long. This RV Park was a mess some people that had to leave had to have tow trucks get them out of the mud. Around 8am it had pretty much quit raining so I could walk Valley around but in the afternoon it was sprinkling here and there. We went to the Balloon Museum then managed to walk around the Balloon Park without the big crowds. Sunday night it was clear so the balloons were brought out and they managed to do the Balloon Glow Show which was great to see then more fireworks.

Monday it was too windy for any balloons to fly and it was tour day anyway with our caravan. We went to El Pinto Restaurant, this place seats over a thousand people, very popular place, anyway they gave us a pepper cooking demonstration, boring. The lunch was great then we went to an Indian place, then on to Old Town Albuquerque to do shopping. Boring, boring, boring we decided to take our own car today and follow the bus to Sandia Peak and Tram ride. After we have lunch up there the buses are then going to a Turquoise Museum and Bob, Jackie, Dave and I have no desire to do that so we will do running around on our own.

This morning we didn't get a chance to go to the Balloon Field so they came to us. The balloons were landing all around our RV Park, pretty neat. Will have tons of pictures to post when we get a chance.
Bye for now.
