Keltin and I love exploring little towns. They are quirky and typically have good food and old buildings that present great opportunities for photos – Ouray was no exception. We were starving by the time we got there but it was still a bit too early for lunch so we wandered and found a bookstore.

Keltin and I went on a hot air balloon ride at the Albuquerque international Balloon Fiesta last year during a mass ascension.
