Hot Air Balloon Overhead!

I don't see a lot of hot air balloons these days. I don't know if the sport is waning in our community - or if the wind is simply blowing them in another direction.

But one morning recently I saw this one... It reminded me of the three times I went up in a balloon....

I remember how "magical" the experience was - gliding silently over the city, Twice the wind took us over the Ottawa River into Quebec.

One never knows where the trip will end! But champagne is served after every safe landing! We took the champagne glasses home as a souvenir!
