Meteor Shower 4am — Be there!

Bryan and I were foolish enough to get up at 3am and try to get some photos of the ever so cool sounding meteor shower. Check this out:
Keiss [a comet] “has visited the inner solar system only twice in the past 2,000 years,” says NASA. “In 83 BC, give or take a few centuries, Keiss swung by the sun and laid down a trail of dusty debris that has been drifting toward Earth’s orbit ever since. On Sept. 1, the dusty trail and Earth will meet.”
Wow! Freakin awesome, right? Well, it was pretty cool, we saw a dozen or so meteors, some with massive trails. But we didn’t really get a whole lot in photos. In the center of the photo above you’ll see the best one that I caught. The shot is way too bright, but we were experimenting, so whatever. Anyway… we decided to spend some quality time goofing off with long exposure shots while we were there in the dark. Check some of the other shots we created in a slideshow.

We’re home safe and sound! After a nearly 17 hours of travel time, we finally stepped in our door last night a little after 9pm — we were in bed by 9:30. We slept all through the night and hopefully we’ve adjusted our body clocks back to our normal California mode.
Monique was up early making breakfast, I think she missed cooking while we were gone. Tonight we’re having some sort of Mexican food, which we both missed while we were away. London and France don’t seem to have that down yet. Although we did have some Japanese food in Paris that was really yummy.
Thanks again for all of your support and comments as we traveled!
We’re on our way home…

…we’re goin, hooooooooome. If I may quote Aimee Mann and Michael Penn.
In an hour or so, we get on a bus, to another bus, to a plane, to another plane, to a car, to home! This is the worst part of the traveling so far we’ve found out. But we’ll be home at the end of all of it and, even though we’ve had a LOT of fun on our trip, we’re really looking forward to home.
Thanks for all of your notes and comments throughout these past 10 days, and we’ll see you back in The States™ soon!
