Hot Air 1

Posted by Jeff (Pembroke Dock, Wales., United Kingdom) on 14 November 2008 in Sport & Recreation.

Taken when we were visiting Anthony and Claudia in Germany.

We intend to have an American breakfast sometime over the holiday,so any special pancake recipes or hints and tips on your cuisine will be very welcome...And I promise to post a shot of the breakfast so you can all have a laugh at my efforts.

Bookfool from Vicksburg, United States

Okay, so now I know why I dreamed about a hot-air balloon. Woo-woo moment. Very pretty. A ladder to get above those heads would have been great, but they never have ladders sitting around for the dude with the camera, do they?

14 Nov 2008 5:30pm

@Bookfool: Perhaps there's a telepathy thing going on here?...I used to carry a ladder with me,but I got fed up with people asking me to clean their windows. ;>))
