Jordan, Syria, and Egypt, where we
meet with prominent figures in
religion, government, and academia.

Who are we and what else do we do?

How we became eclipse junkies:
Barbara went to India in the mid-seventies, which led to
our fascination with football, which in turn led to our
addiction to solar eclipses.
