2022 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

In 1972, Albuquerque, NM, had the first balloon fiesta.  It was sponsored by the KOB radio station to celebrate its 50th birthday for the station.  The first fiesta had thirteen balloons.  There are now close to 1,000 balloons that fly in the festival.  Here are some pictures from the 2022 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

Clarksdale Juke Joint Festival April 2022

Clarksdale Juke Joint Festival was held in Clarksdale, Mississippi, on April 21 - 24, 2022.  This was the first blues festival we have been able to attend since the COVID-19 pandemic occurred.

Time is Relative

What would be a long wait for service in other parts of the country, especially on either the East or West coast, is the standard time in the south and, more specifically, Mississippi.  Relax.  Take your time.  If you are in a hurry, then show up early or chain fast food.

April 21, 2022 (Thursday)

The main festival starts on Saturday, so we used Thursday to explore Clarksdale, MS.

  • We had breakfast at Grandma's House of Pancakes in Clarksdale.  We had great service, and the food was excellent.

  • B. B. King Museum - April 2022
  • We were looking for someplace for lunch and decided to ask the B. B. King Museum staff what they recommended.  They sent us to Betty's Place.  A wonderful dinner in Indianola, which is very close to the museum.  Outside was a large smoker that was full of meat being smoked.  The menu was down-home southern cooking, and it was excellent.
