All the talk of this eclipse was making us quite jealous! We wanted to see a piece of this eclipse pie (20% is what was being served in Cali) and so we set off into the mountains to find a viewing point above the city haze!

| X-rays and welding masks were among the gadgets used to view the eclipse. |
I didn't take a pic of the eclipse for fear of my Samsung phone's camera self-destructing. However, we were able to see 20% coverage pretty clearly.
Our post eclipse meal was fantastic thin crust pizza at
La Pinera in Dapa, our favorite little restaurant tucked in a grove of white pines. Then, we headed to "Loma del viento" which literally translates to "wind hill." August is considered windy season here in Cali, so people come and fly their kites on Sundays. And I mean EVERYONE! It feels Kite Runneresque with kites fighting for airspace and even cutting each other's lines in the air!
It's a beautiful spot with a breathtaking view of Cali. We had perfect kite flying weather!

| This kite made of garbage bags is going to have a denim tail! Caleños sure get creative with kite creation! |
