Ballooning! I suppose I should start with the event that started the whole trip anyway. It was soo amazing! I was so surprised at the energy there, people were soo pumped and ready to go, it was a huge celebration and everyone clapped and cheered for every balloon that took flight, even at 5 in the morning! There was even an echo wood carving contest going on it was soo awesome these guys had huge chainsaws and they were just carving away like no big deal…very cool!
