It seems so unreal, quiet an peaceful up there. Your hind brain says "yeah -- step out so we can float away" Your fore brain says "what the hell you doing??" We floated past Tanglewood and The Mount (Edith Wharton's house) and landed very gently in Foxhollow (a condo community). As we landed two cars stopped to watch - out of the cars appeared a guy wearing a loud McCain for President shirt, his nascar loving kids and 2 identically dressed Orthodox Jewish women. Then helped us collapse and break down the gondola. Tipsy on champagne, with the sun setting, we had quite a memorable evening...
