Tobruk & Eclipse
The next evening we arrived in Tobruk.
We visited Tobruk that evening. The next morning we left Tobruk in buses.
There was heavy fog that stayed with us, and caused us some worry until we were
deep in the Libyan desert. The eclipse site was set up in a totally barren
piece of desert. But there were over 2,000 people at the site. There
was not a cloud in the sky.
