I was in the path of totality, without a cloud in the sky. It gradually got dark, there was a noticeable drop in temperature and the local sheep were clearly disturbed. Watching the moon consume the sun was riveting, and when the sun was totally blocked and we took off our glasses, the moon was framed with a light that was other worldly. I have never seen any light like that. People spontaneously cheered. After it was over I felt a sense of awe, plus primal relief that the sun was coming back. I planned the trip before realizing that it would be in the path of totality, and ended up with a soul touching experience. I spent 5 hours driving today and an hour of waiting for less than two minutes that I will never forget.
