Day 11 - Sponsored by Bahram Mirzaagha


New Mexico is well known for hot air ballooning, and because I was there, and always wanted go up in a helium balloon, I left at the crack of dawn for our launch site near the Rio Grande. It was a perfectly clear and beautiful day, to glide 2,000 feet up in the air, and watch the scenery go by all around us and down below. Back on the ground, I hiked along hundreds of petroglyphs in Rinconade Canyon. These images were carved in basaltic lava by ancient Pueblo indians centuries ago. After the two hour hike, I enjoyed a stroll in Old Town and concluded with some fine wine tasting at Casa Rondena on the outskirts of town.
