Hot Air Balloon Ride

I spent a week in Panguich and Cedar City, Utah last week and had the opportunity of a lifetime. Panguich was having the annual Balloon Festival, in which my friends sponsored a pilot. In exchange, he took them (and me) up for a ride over the town for about 1/2 hour. It was amazing - I wasn't knee-buckled or anything - it was a smooth take-off, ride, and landing. I took pictures from the sky as we floated OVER other balloons. It was a beautiful day and an awesome experience. I also spent a few days at Amber and Karma's in Cedar City. I saw 2 plays there and then took them to Tuacahan to see Sound of Music. It was a fun evening...I got a speeding ticket in Podunk Ivans, Utah. I enjoyed going to see my friend, Sadie's, new house and 'farm.' It's hard to come back to 114 degree heat where you can't breathe outside! Aaarrggghh!
