Oh dang!! I was on the southeastern/Turn 2 viewing mound, but I was over by the Pagoda earlier to see the weather balloon launch and to pick up eclipse glasses!

Thank you Erica!!

Thanks nicky!!

Thank you Kate!!

Thank you Froey!!

Thank you! I wish I'd seen more of Indianapolis — tight schedule — but I enjoyed the Garage Food Hall, and as someone who drinks a lot of bubble tea, Moar Tea was excellent!

I definitely did, thank you! It really was incredible; so long, and my jaw was basically dropped the entire period of totality; it's a figurative miracle I was able to zoom out and refocus the lens (because the corona was larger than I expected it to be). I don't remember the 360-degree sunset being so vivid!

Also, fun fact: we happened to drive along a road that separates two counties on the way back, where the counties use two different time zones — so I got to see my phone switching between Eastern and Central time every time GPS estimated my phone was slightly north or south of the county line! Since I have my phone set to tint the screen orange at 10 PM, this meant it was constantly switching between orange and normal tones
