Albuquerque, New Mexico: Soaring to New Heights
Albuquerque straddles the Rio Grande and is the state of New Mexico's largest city. It is known for its large annual hot air balloon festival and is home to the longest aerial tram in the world. The Albuquerque area has a rich history and has been under both Portuguese and Spanish rule at different times. Some people believe that the city's name originated from the Arabic phrase "Abu al-Qurq," meaning "land of the cork oak," and cork trees are abundant in the city. There are a few other ideas about the root of the city's name, including the Spanish word for apricot ("albaricoque"), in which the Spanish settlers brought apricots with them to New Mexico many years ago.

The annual Albuquerque International Balloon Festival is a fascination of many residents and visitors to Albuquerque. It began as a small gathering of 13 balloons that were launched from a shopping mall parking lot in 1972 and has grown to become the largest ballooning event in the world with more than 600 hot air balloons participating each year with crowds exceeding 100,000 people.
