eclipse synopsis 1


Short synopsis
I was so busy during the day and exhausted from the heat that I didn't have time to blog, but did do some writing yesterday.  We didn't trust the weather in Charleston as it did say storms and clouds, so we became eclipse chasers driving west and landing in Columbia, SC where we found the crowd at the Riverfront park with telescopes and tents and great spirit of sharing the experience together. Families of all kinds from  PA, NY, MA, GA, FL and even Hawaii (on her way to Spain). The park service was even giving away free glasses and water bottles.

Short answer: A tough first few minutes obscured behind clouds, then 2 hours of excitement and joy watching the sun disappear and then -totality-  it brought me to tears!
