Back From Stowe
Stowe, VT is probably the nicest place in the world, and flying hot air balloons over the nicest place in the world is sweet.
(Even despite having to get up at 5:30 to do it.) Since it rained almost the entire weekend we were only able to launch twice out of four opportunities - or "windows" in ballonist-speak. This was far from devastating though because it meant being able to relax and take advantage of the awesome facilities of Stoweflake Mountain Resort which just keeps getting better and better every year. The owner of the resort actually started the balloon festival there, and is a balloonist himself. He has the life. He lives in a beautiful place, runs an awesome resort and pulls his hot air balloon with a rotating assortment of expensive vehicles (last year it was an H2, this year it was a Porsche Carrera). Good for him. Anyway, I'm back in Scranton now. Sort of looking forward to this week at work.
