Hot Air Balloons
People travel in different ways. Some take the plane or train. Others travel by motorcycle. But people also travel by balloon!
The International Balloon Fiesta is in Albuquerque, US, in October every year. About 600 colorful balloons go up in the sky at the same time.
How do they fly? First, people light a small fire when the balloon is on the ground. This makes the air inside the balloon hot. Hot air always goes up! So, the balloon starts to go up. Then, the wind moves the balloon along.
