As we were getting ready to go to TerrOpera last evening, I looked out the window and saw 16 hot air balloons taking off from the rugby stadium. We watched for about 20 minutes before we had to leave. They were beautiful!
While having breakfast this morning, I looked out over the fog filled valley and saw balloons already in the air, with more getting ready to go up. Papa and watched for over an hour as the sun was coming up, from our 4th floor balcony, as they took off from the rugby stadium, flew north over Lectoure, circled Lectoure, then flew south over fields. Some got quite close to our house and the cathedral. The Gers montgolfières association has a rendezvous every year the last weekend of August/first weekend of September. It was fun to watch!
