Today was the big eclipse and with our glasses we watched from Kingston, NY where we only saw about 70% coverage of the sun. There were some clouds, too which came and went but did not get anywhere near dark like several parts of the country. We'll put our glasses away till 2024.
We enjoyed watching the coverage on the weather channel - especially from Clemson University where we saw the ring around the sun and then the diamond! WOW....a beautiful sparkly diamond ring!
I made a correction in yesterday's blog - there are 16,000 seats at SIU's football stadium - NOT 60,000 as reported by the weather channel! And that does make more sense!
Mark returned the rental car, we went across the river to Haverstraw and got fuel and pump out. We were on our way by 9:40. Nice day for cruising and passed West Point and so much pretty scenery.
Beautiful mountains to the south

We walked around town this afternoon, stopped at Ole Savannah's (formerly Steel Head). We ate here in August, 2011 with Annette, Philip and several of her relatives.
Tonight we enjoyed some delicious Italian at Savano's......happening place and I got my pizza fix. Mark had a yummy pasta dish.
