Dawn breaks over the basin and the air cools as the balloon crew inflates the envelope. You and your partner climb into a wicker basket while the valley below reshapes into roofs, fields, and the straight line of the Avenue of the Dead. The balloon lifts; the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon drift into view, massive and patient, their stone faces catching the first gold.
