Bob, Jenny and I have tried to spend a night in Emerald Bay for years and we were continuous thwarted. Thursday evening, all the stars aligned, figuratively and literally and it finally happened.

We chose this night for a reason, "The annual Perseid Meteor Shower is visible between July and August, with the shower's peak on August 11. Viewers can expect to see up to 100 meteors per hour, although this year's corresponding full moon may damper viewing a bit." Between the three of us, we saw maybe eight meteors (falling stars). While not the anticipated amount, no one went to sleep disappointed.

“A sky as pure as water bathed the stars and brought them out.“– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
