In the fall of 2023, Pat and Bob Lesser visited Ireland for 17 days and then attended the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico. The Ireland travel video, entitled “Snippets of Ireland”, reflects their experience with travelling from one tourist spot to another with 24 others on a tour bus. They will share their thoughts on that experience versus other travels they have done on their own.
The 2023 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta featured 546 registered balloons, 107 special shaped balloons, and 75 remote controlled balloons, with an attendance of 968,516 spectators over the 9 day event. As a bonus, they were there to view an annular eclipse during the fiesta. The trip also included quick visits to the Mammoth Caves in Kentucky, Nashville, Chaco Culture National Historic Park, Dodge City and some disturbing art pieces along the highway.
