In the "we're definitely not in Cambridge tonight" category - we went out on the lawn behind the condo in NH last night and put two person-sized dents in it! N. and I were flat on our backs looking up at the stars for a long time. There are way more stars out there than we have in the city. :) The longer we were out there, the more stars there were. We had a small patch of sky between the talls trees, but there was a mess of stars.

It is hard to remember what I am looking at. They look like little white dots. I know that they are thousands of miles away and fiery things like our sun, but it is tough to keep that in mind.

It was so quiet and dark! For awhile, someone was setting off fireworks down the hill and there was an a/c running, but then it was completely quiet...

We saw a few little shooting stars, and what N. thought was the space station, and then what N. thought was a satellite and then the most amazing huge shooting star I've even seen! It was a huge white streak across the lower half of the sky...N. said it was a meteor, probably part of the Perseids shower. It looked something like the attached photo. Spectacular!

We had such a wonderful two days away...felt like longer with all we were able to see and do and eat! But there are definitely more places we need to explore, so we hope to go back up there soon.
