KRQE.com Balloon Fiesta Blog

As I write, Ryan is up in the air in the same balloon I was in yesterday, Racer 105. If you're looking for it, it's the red balloon with a checkerboard and the New Mexico Department of Tourism banner.

I'll stay on the ground today, where a nice crowd has gathered to watch the first wave lift off. Few special shapes are in the air right now, probably since they have a harder time in wind than regular round balloons. But they are inflating and you should see some in the air today.
