We almost died!!! OK not really but we did drive through a tornado watch and warning. Not sure which one is worse, but does it really matter, we went through both. They even blew some sort of horn on the radio. There was lots of rain and wind, and we did see a lot of lightening but alas...no funnel clouds in sight. BORING!
So the day actually started still in Albuquerque. The Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque is a BIG deal. A very very big deal! They said almost 800,000 people come in for the week. Whoa. Well in order to really do the Fiesta right you are supposed to get there around 5:30am. The balloons go up around 7:30/8 or so, as many as 500 balloons at once. You will see some very bad pictures of the event as we decided to NOT get there at 5:30am and drove there after the balloons were landing. Oh well, look it up on the web and you will see how pretty the event really can be.
From there we drove to Sedona, arrived here despite the rain...and just had a delish Sushi meal at Minami. Off to the Red rocks tomorrow. PRAYYYY for no rain!
