Shirley Maclaine's book

[jim allen]

Shirley's book reminds me of the Milky Way and our experience last year.  My
wife and I attended a wedding in Los Arcos, near Pamplona last August.  The
Camino goes through the middle of Los Arcos.  One night we walked out on the
Camino, near midnight and got away from the lights of the village.  Suddenly
we saw shooting stars, three in about 5 minutes and then noticed how many
stars we could see.  It was amazing!!!  We must have a lot of pollution,
lights, and otherwise in the U.S. I look forward to seeing them again.
