Brisbane, USA and Costa Rica

Off soon.Just a quick starter page until we get there.

First stop Brisbane to visit friends and relatives, and a conference in Kingscliff to celebrate Marilyn Renfree’s 70th year.

Then on to the USA to visit Jill’s cousin Anita and family near the Grand Tetons National Park. The path of a total solar eclipse goes near on 21 Aug.

The eclipse should be fantastic (assuming the skies are clear etc). Here is an image I took of the eclipse in 2012 North of Cairns.

Just after start of totality, flares are visible in the corona round the lower arc of the moon’s edge. Totality lasted just over 2 minutes, but it seemed like just seconds!

Steven and Judy catch up with us in Salt Lake City for the drive north, and eclipse viewing.

After the eclipse we head to Costa Rica for a month (the first 2 weeks with Steven and Judy). Rainforests, cloud forests, beaches, birds (avian) and other wildlife (animal) and volcanoes and rivers and ….. we will have fun.
