Up, Up and Away!

Just reliving my first (and only, so far) hot air balloon flight. Can't wait to go again! It is such an amazing and spiritual experience!

Here we are all loaded up and ready for lift-off! We enjoyed a lovely one hour flight, followed by a champagne toast and the balloonist's prayer:

The winds have welcomed you with softness,

The sun has blessed you with his warm hands

You have flown so high and so free,

That God has joined you in laughter, 

And set you gently again,

Into the loving arms of mother earth.

 More in another post on another day... (ha-ha!) No, I actually need time to recollect some memories from the experience.
