Balloon launch over the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacan



Morning balloon launch over Pyramid of the Sun, Teotihuacan. We got to the site at just the right moment.
Cindy and I have been to Teotihuacan (tay-oh-tee-wah-KAHN) a couple of times before, but the scale of the place never ceases to impress us. So when the staff at the university invited us to join a Sunday tour with other international students and professors, we said sure.

We had a pleasant surprise when we got to the site, which is about 30 miles northeast of Mexico City. A balloon launch was under way. It looked at first like an invasion of the aliens.
