UP, UP, and AWAY with Montgolfier Gas.......



The balloons are back and they are beautifully surreal. It never fails to stun me to walk outside....glance up at the sky and see those vividly colorful pear shapes silently floating overhead. It's as if I'm transported to another time, another era. But....if I happen to see the huge advertisements printed on the balloons' surfaces (COCA COLA, CURVES, WBRZ TV), I'm brought back to the present with a jolt.

Hot air balloons. Another gift from the French.

I enjoy watching hot air balloons too. I'm skittish and have never floated in one, but maybe one day I will.

I love to watch one balloon in the sky when it sails over our house. I can't imagine more at the same time. I'd be on a happy cloud for days.
