Breakfast in Yiwu
Posted by lowellr | Filed under Total Solar Eclipse: Live from China

It was beautiful morning breakfast in Yiwu (actually we’re north of Yiwu). After a 16-hour bus ride from Urumqi we arrived at the eclipse tent village, had a terrible night’s sleep, then got to eat in the press media tent for what I would describe as a very savory breakfast.
Getting used to our new accommodations will take some time, but there have been so many pleasant surprises ( having Internet access is the biggest one). But whatever comes our way, it’s always nice to be with friends.
