Eclipse



Although it was forecast to be cloudy... the sky partially opened up for us for the eclipse. From hiroshima it was 80% or so covered... and I think this was my first solar eclipse viewing.

On our way down... 3 bikes 4 people..


It was kinda on and off cloudy...




but the planetarium supplied some equipment for the viewing, which was really cool


Like these lens that let you stare at the sun


... shoot! Forgot my eclipse glasses.


Here's Bom and his daughter... we were at his bar the night before.


And they also put out a kids' play area for the really little one that had no interest at all in what was going on.


After a few minutes of looking... we went inside where they showed live broadcasts from various parts of the world... and I gotta say... a total eclipse would be really, really cool... it looks like sunrise/sunset 360. I had no idea...

Check out this guy... nice ride.


p.s. we're in Busan, S. Korea now... Lovin' Kim & the Kim Chee...
