oorah!



the eclipse was a success. we sweated bullets minutes prior to the event but i 
think the uygher dancing the night before payed off. the huge cloud decided to 
move in our favor so i got it on video this time.



the scenery surrounding the area was a barren high desert about 45 minutes nw 
of yiwu. we had the tianshan mountains in the distance with snow capped peaks. 
the authorities had set up an eclipse city and i would estimate about a few 
thousand people in various groups. ran into another eclipse chaser from 2005 in 
panama.

we are in turpan this evening and tomorrow head for urumqi. western china is so 
different? esp. the food.

i could use a nice salad and steak real soon.
