Hot air balloons, perhaps a symbol of happiness. A German couple living in Rothenburg used a hot air balloon ride to celebrate the wife's fiftieth birthday. Another California girl who came here to study also brought her boyfriend along to experience the balloon flight.
A hot air balloon pilot with over twenty years of experience told us that each flight varies slightly due to subtle changes in wind direction. He operates while meticulously documenting, and I admire his dedication. It takes a lot of passion to stay consistent for two decades, doesn't it?
After a safe landing, everyone had to burn a few strands of hair to thank the Fire God, which was truly an intriguing ritual.
