| A Special Shape |
It is almost that time of year again when people will flock to Albuquerque from all over the world for the International Balloon Fiesta, and we will all have to drive more carefully as we watch out for the out-of-town drivers distracted by oddly shaped, floating objects most of us natives and almost-natives take for granted. (Albuquerque has been hosting the fiesta since 1972!)

The state of New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment foer a good reason. Somewhere, all around the state, there is always magic in the air. If you have any doubts, when you visit for the fiesta, don't just look at the balloons as they drift overhead. Look also at the sky during daylight hours and at night. Observe the drama that plays out over the landscape of the mountains to the east and on the high mesa to the west. Even more magical is hitching a ride on a balloon. Doing so adds a whole new dimension to the enchantment of this land.
