Last night we were eating supper when we saw neighbors scurrying past our windows and looking up. We have often had hot air balloons fly over during the summer, so we guessed what might be going on, but glanced out anyway only to see that the sky was filled with balloons to the east. Two blocks to the west we could see balloons filling and taking off. So we scurried over to watch. Our neighbor shared some of his pictures with us. (Our camera is gone at camp again.) We had front row seats for this exciting experience. A few of us are visible behind the neighbor and his son on picture 1. Only Danielle was a little overwhelmed by the huge flame and the loud blowing noise. Later in the evening Vicki K. wrote to ask about the balloons. They live straight east of us, and had had more than 40 fly overhead! We found out later that the 25th European Hot Air Balloon Championships are being held here in Magdeburg this week.
