If you haven’t taken a hot air balloon ride, you should do it at least once in your life. It is one of the most exciting and scary rides you have ever had. If you’re afraid of heights, it might not be the best thing to take a ride like this, but if not, go ahead and have fun. Large balloons of this type have existed since 220 AD. C. in China. These were unmanned and used for military signals. In 1783, two Frenchmen, Francois Laurent d’Arlandes and Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier, were the first to fly over Paris, France. The peasants who saw this spectacular event were so scared that they ran to their houses and got weapons to be able to bring down this monster. When the balloon landed they were given champagne by the pilots and of course they all quickly became friends and the rest is history.
