A message today from the crew at the US Hot Air Balloon Team reminded me that a good way to escape the daily rush is to ‘Come Up and Slow Down‘ as their balloon pictured here illustrates.
Right now if you plan a visit to Pennsylvania, they offer Two Rides in the Sky one over Amish County, the other over the Brandywine Valley.
I never treated myself to such a flight.
I did take funiculars in Barcelona and Grenoble.
In both cases one should not be a afraid of heights.
