I have returned from the longest vacation I've ever taken: A three week cruise and land trip to Korea, Japan, China and to view the longest Total Eclipse of the Sun this Century. After 6 days of cruising Korea and Japan in rain and clouds, on eclipse day July 22 we finally saw some sun. As we cruised slowly by the Island of Iwo Jima the sun appeared and we found a large hole in the clouds to view this most incredible natural show. For 6 minutes and 42 seconds the sun was covered by the moon. My new picture shows 3rd contact where the sun is just beginning to re-appear. I have added some photos albums showing the progression for those who are interested.

P.S. If you would like to know how I helped President Clinton help get the release of those two reporters in N. Korea, let me know and I'll share the story.
