Tuesday, August 17
For the first time in a long while, I got to observe the night sky in its
full beauty, without the restrictions of city lights. I saw the Big Dipper, the
North Star, the Milky Way, Mars and millions of other starts. I could see what
I believe were constellations, but was unable to make any of them out. To steal
a line from the book, Life of Pi; "With so many bright stars in the sky, to
call the night dark is unfitting."
