Never seen it, but want to. Looked for it on the west coast of France, but no luck. Skies were too hazy, I think. Living on the East Coast, you’re basically out of luck, except for the Gulf Coast.

I’ll mention another book about the phenomenon – _Le Rayon Vert_, by Jules Verne. It’s a love story, believe it or not.

No joy seeing it in Florida, but if it’s possible to head out to PEI or Newfoundland…

Yup, all the time. But I’m another Hawaiian.
