Eclipsing the Eclipse – Toronto Trip Overview – 4/14/24

A few months ago, I noticed that there was a total solar eclipse that was supposed to happen on April 8th, 2024, passing over North America. On further inspection, I happened to find that the path of totality (the area over which one can see the moon totally covering the sun during the eclipse) was passing directly over Niagara Falls. I’d never been to Niagara Falls, nor had I really traveled much on the continent I grew up on. Without knowing all the details, I went ahead and committed to taking that trip, and started asking around to see if people would like to join.
