It was my third eclipse, first total. The other two were annular.
I enjoyed it immensely. I videoed the "360° sunset," the phenomenon in which it looks like the sun has set in every direction. That was cool. I also found that the sun's corona and the "diamond ring" effect were much sharper than with annular eclipses.
I was in Hopkinsville, KY with about 200,000 people packed into that small town. It was easy to find a good spot for viewing but when the eclipse was over everybody got on the roads at the same time. Carmageddon.

No kidding. Took us 8 hours to get from Franklin, Kentucky to Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Had taken us a little over 3 on the way down.
