A Solar Eclipse!


(Kigali, Rwanda)
Quite the happening happened on the island today.  Kudos to Andrew (of Bridges to Prosperity) for bringing out the ol' welding helmet for the special occasion.  The box viewer wasn't too bad either, I must say.  Several onlookers borrowed our gear to witness the spectacle, including a young family, a security guard and an armed soldier on patrol.  Thankfully the clouds held off for the peak -- a special Sabbath treat I suppose.  Incredibly, there will be another solar eclipse less than 3 years from now in this very spot, though alas, I don't think it will be a hybrid eclipse (total+annual) like today's.  I sure miss 6th grade math and science
