Hehe. My house at Istanbul and eclipse will being in Antalya.

>You're lucky to be in the path. We had a near total view for the Aug 11 1999 eclipse. Many people went to Cornwall for the total eclipse, but there was total cloud! :-) On the south coast where I live it was cloudless skies.

Antalya is a hot place of Turkey. It's hard to cloud. This is because of NASA, Japans and some others coming Turkey for eclipse. Japans will in Adrasan. I went Adrasan in my last holiday. There is a nice beach and caretta-caretta turtle lay eggs area...

>All the seagulls who roosted on the rooftops suddenly started flying and squawking, thinking it was time for their evening flocking. Very strange and eerie event.

Hehe. That's funny... :)

Some people in Turkey believe in eclipse will reason a earthquake... :)
