Snakes and Balloons at Lake Havasu City

Jan.22--Alvina and I drove to Lake Havasu to see the Balloon Festival. Larry and Lori went to Quartzsite to get satellite T.V. installed and we will meet with them later in the week.


Alvina with Bull snake. The snake really liked her and did not want to let go.

This is the London Bridge purchased from England and reconstructed at Lake Havasu.

One of the hot air Balloons at the Festival in Lake Havasu.

Lots of old restored cars on display.

Yep, it's me again.

They charge $15.00 for a ride up and down in a tethered Balloon. They cram between 7 and 9 people into the basket for a ride that lasts about 10 minutes.

Alvina admiring one of the vintage cars.

Date Palms bearing fruit ,found at a gas station on the way to Havasu.

Each tree bears an enormous amount of dates.

Beautiful to behold.
