Fiesta time.

Left home last Tuesday morning and nearly missed the bus to the station, not sure if it was early or I was late but had to run the last 100 yards with suitcase. Got to London and went to see Millwall play Northampton in a league match, We won 2-0 and did not look too bad.

Wednesday was London to Peoria, Illinois via Detroit. No problems with getting into the US this time and even arrived in Peoria 15 minutes early.

Left Peoria early Thursday and drove to Alberquerque with an overnight stop in Elk City, Oaklahoma. Arrived Friday evening not sure what day or time it was.

Fiesta started today so we were up at 04:00 to get down to the balloon field. Wind was looking to be a problem but luckily it held off long enough to fly at 07:30. Was part of the mass assencion where up to 700 balloons took off in 3 waves.

Mass Assencion

This afternoon we went down to the Trinity site which has 2 open days per year. Trinity site is where the first atom bomb was set off. It is in a very empty part of New Mexico. All there is now is a n obelisk made of lava rock.
