The Aspen was all dressed up in golden leaves. The sunny weather was a delightful 59 degrees F.

We stopped for dinner at Old Martina's Hall in Ranchos de Taos across from the famous San Francisco de Assisi adobe church. The food was good, plentiful and reasonably priced (for Taos).

Roasting green chile fills the air with a sweet smell.
There are more than 500 balloons registered at this year's Balloon Fiesta. The Mass Ascension yesterday was great and I can see the balloons from our house in Albuquerque. Today it was too windy and they didn't go aloft.
The colors change so fast don't they. I love the fall.
ReplyDeleteI could almost smell those chilies roasting mmmmm.
The balloons must be quite a sight to see. Wow. It seems like such a "movie" scene to me. I can't imagine it in reality.
What a lovely post Vicki. I enjoyed coming along on the road trip, albeit vicariously...:)
