Here are some pictures of Leon's eclipse expedition and conference at the Alexandria Library:

During a day in Cairo, a quick dash out to the desert to see the pyramids.

The town the locals call "Alex."

The new Library of Alexandria, where the conference was held.

Eric, Anne and Leon with Hoda, the organizer of the Alexandria conference.

Solar scientist Eric Priest was mobbed by admirers after his introductory talk ...

The town of El-Salloum, at the Libyan border, was small and isolated but has a really nice bay.

A warm greeting from our Bedouin hosts.

Dinner at El-Salloum the night before the eclipse.

Accommodations at the eclipse site were somewhat less than luxurious ...

Darkness at Noon during totality.
