You rise early, before the sun even begins to peak over the mountains in the east. The air of this mid-September morning surrounds you. You stand in the meadow and wait patiently for the first bright glow to appear. It is not the sun you wait for but the glow from the hot air balloons that fill the field around you, waiting for the dawn to fill the skies above.
