Dawn light slides across the Teotihuacan Valley; the balloon’s envelope fills with warm air and the world briefly slows. From the wicker basket you rise gently, the Avenue of the Dead shrinking into geometric lines while the twin pyramids — the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon — assert their scale below. The air is cool, the burners rumble, and the valley seems to hold its breath.
