My hubby Rix, his friends, the kids and I left at around 1 am last Sunday for the final installment of the
2011 Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. I think I was sleepwalking towards the car, with baby in arms! We arrived at around 3:30 am (with a stop over) and were surprised to see the parking lot almost full. Did the other people camp there or something?

| Sea of people |
So, while it was dark and cold, we sauntered towards the grounds. Rix found a spot near the fence dividing the spectators from the hot air balloons and there we waited. While the balloonists were setting up their stuff, a booming voice was welcoming us, listing down the day's events and providing info on hot air balloons. Paragliders also graced the sky and towards the end of the National Anthem, one of them glided past with the Philippine flag.
