From what
toomanybooks said, he & others had a great time on the rooftop of the Westin Nashville downtown
The coverage I watched there were a lot of people watching in all area/cities. Were you expecting 100,000 at each location? It's not like a stadium.
Like St. Louis, in South Carolina at the beach the clouds were out & just before the eclipse, the clouds parted, the sun came out & they got to see the full eclipse. They were all quite excited.
On the Royal Caribbean cruise they had Bonnie Taylor singing her song, "Total Eclipse of the Heart". The song is #1 on itunes at the moment. “Guests on Oasis of the Seas will be treated to a full slate of eclipse-themed activities, including dance parties, trivia, enrichment lectures, interactive science fun for kids, and tasty cocktails and dishes with names like the Cosmic Cosmo, Planetary Punch and Moon Pie,” the cruise line said.
Cheers.
