... and we were going to stay up for it, but it's only 10:30 p.m. and we're already getting tired... and there is a thick cloud cover that looks like a sheet of cotton... and, why do total eclipses always have to happen in the middle of the night, like between 3 and 5 a.m.? :?::?::?::?::?:

It was a little foggy here in Todos Santos but you could see it. Neat!

Then again, how long can you stand in your bare feet and underwear out in your yard at 5 am being bitten by mosquitoes and staring at a dim bulb in the sky? I went back to bed after about 2 minutes, but glad I saw it anyway...
