. I went to the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, NM. I drove/rode in a Ford van equipped with beds, a kitchen, and portable potty. We reported for crew duty at 4:30 every morning. My friend Crystal went up in a balloon first and I really wondered if I had the nerve to go up. Turns out I did. It felt a little closer to heaven.
