Starry, starry night

Did anyone get the chance to observe the shooting stars from the Perseids last night?  After I signed out, Michael, the boys, and I spent some time on the balcony searching for the comets.  We did not stay up for the best viewing time (dawn!), but we did each get to see one or two.  What fun!  I'm surprised at  how well we can see the stars here, given Europe's light pollution levels and the fact that we are in a city.  I guess being on a mountain helps?

Love,

Alexandra
