Three weeks after watching a 93% eclipse from outside the path of totality, I finally watched NASA's 2024 totality feed and understood what everyone had been telling me.

A hillside in northern Spain, 93% of the Sun covered, and a baguette bought that morning from a bakery that opened at six.

The total solar eclipse of 12 August crosses northern Spain at sunset. I have decided to drive there, with a plan, a fallback plan, and a growing list of things that could go wrong.
