It is an amazing country and culture, and has so many wonderful treasures to be seen. Our week there only scratched the surface. Like anywhere I travel, my camera went with me and photographs were taken.&#8230;]]></description>

This photo was taken about a minute to mid-totality, at about 2:45 a.m. CDT. It was well worth seeing the wonderful&#8230;]]></description>
