I'm in there under that black spot; as a quick first guess by eye, maybe

Did you happen to notice the shadow as it approached over the
Mediterranean? I've heard it's possible to see it. I was in Side, but
in the heat of the moment I was too busy looking up.



I was in Side too, but didn't see the shadow. There's too many things going on at that point, and I wasn't going to miss the final seconds before totality.
Awesome!
