Pat travelled to Anji, China for ‘the eclipse of the Century’ — around 6 minutes of totality was eagerly anticipated. Quite rare. Eclipse chasing is well known to be a risky hobby and Pat’s record is not without incident ...!! This time, she saw it — the clouds parted just in time for totality. After crossing half the world, some were not so lucky. |
