We were near the "center line" just south of Puerto Vallarta. After fording a river, dealing with a rattlesnake, and winds that were whipping up sand, we "gringos" set up on the beach for what looked like a dismal afternoon of clouds. There was no sign of the sun at all. Until--would you believe just around mid-eclipse--out from the cloud layer slips this spectacular red-orange ring! Beads were also visible during the minute or so. Then with no fanfare, the ring slipped back into the clouds. The flock of pink flamingos flying over before central eclipse should have been "the sign." And yes... photos of the annular eclipse will be short in coming (I just dropped my film off today, but have already seen one from our group of "gringos" and need permission to post it!). Keep Looking Up, Mike Reynolds ------_=_NextPart_001_01C2131E.7F9D9F65 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2920.0" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV> <P><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>All:</FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><SPAN class=299300721-13062002>We have </SPAN>just returned from Mexico.
