**This is literally the talk of the town and region. While not an Eclipse chaser, hubby and I are gung ho for this celestial event. We’re not alone! As this region is anticipating lots of visitors. Fortunately, were in the path of totality so their will be no chasing for us.**

**Niagara Falls, Ontario has been called on of the most scenic locales to view this event- Hotel rates are off the chart!!**

**Check the link below for path of totality map**

**We’ll likely set up right in our backyard!**

> “Mother Nature gives human beings several different shows,” he said. “I mean, you could say forest fires, hurricanes — I know people who chase hurricanes, they chase tornadoes, too — but the solar eclipse is one of those spectacles that’s harmless, in the sense that it doesn’t leave destruction behind it; it leaves a whole bunch of shouting and cheering and happy people for the most part.”

> It’s that human experience that he loves so much.

> “I also say I’m a little bit of an eclipse vampire, because I like to position myself beside somebody who’s never seen it before, and sort of feel the emotion coming off of them a little bit, too,” he said.

> “I love the moments after the eclipse when everybody is just, I mean, just euphoric, really. And it’s a feeling we don’t often get collectively as human beings.”

**A bit of Canada/Eclipse trivia**

**Carly Simon’s song includes a reference to the total eclipse that took place in Nova Scotia, Canada- 1972**
