Crater in Tanzania. I awakened to see my mom sitting on the balcony just looking up. So I joined her and was blown away by the stars. For the first time in my life I actually saw the Milky Way and understood how it got its name. I had lived all my life in suburbs of New York City, in Chicago and now outside of Washington DC and Baltimore so light pollution, not to mention other kinds of pollution were things I lived with. But in Africa I learned what darkness is and what the stars are.
