the Juan Tabo venue worked well.. apparently i wasn't the only one who thought so.. in fact several carloads of people showed up.. one person gave me an extra pair of eclipse glasses they brought..

i stayed form the first contact, through the eclipse, and watched the setting "gibbous" sun.. all in all a great experience
