After months of careful planning for full views of the Sun in the sky we were finally here. In Ibiza. Looking out over the sea. Looking West. Eventually. Not withstanding the €127 taxi dash across the island when muggins here had thought we should be looking East. D’oh! But anyway, we were here.
And then, and then, catastrophe struck! At the most inopportune a solitary cloud in appeared just at the key moment! 🌑☁️
Oh no! Was the first total eclipse visible from Ibiza since 1905 going to be hidden from us?
Well, yes, and no. 🌅
The haze was annoying, sure, but the Sun is a bright MF. It shone through. Until it didn’t. For 1 minute and 40 seconds.
We got to see it. Darce and I got to see the Sun being extinguished before our own eyes.
And it was just as amazing as it has always been. Transcendental. Every eclipse I see is different, but each reminds me of my first.
Already planning the next one. Or two.
