High Times

Just got back from a research trip to the Albuquerque Balloon Festival.

 

 

It was awesome! For all you Breaking Bad fans, we arrived on the day they printed Walt White’s obit in the paper, so we got a cool souvenir. I was privileged to hang out with amazing writer, Gabi Stevens. I always love hanging with Gabi. We went to see the Titanic exhibit and had great Mexican food in the outdoor garden of a popular restaurant in Old Albuquerque. Then Gabi took me to The Candy Lady where I bought some of the blue meth rock candy made famous from Breaking Bad. Great fun.

 

While this was a trip to research ballooning for an upcoming book, the Albuquerque Balloon Festival has long been on my bucket list. The event surpassed my expectations. If you’re ever in New Mexico in early October you’ve gotta go.
