It is just soooooooo Cool to be able to walk into the Main Pavilion and be able to see this!!!!
I was into dinosaurs before they became "cool" and insisted my parents take me all over the west to every Dinosaur exhibit when I was growing up. Now I have one right in the main lobby of my Resort.
Here is the Write up in the guests Welcome letter.

Another of my loves is Astronomy, and I FINALLY GOT TO SEE A SOLAR ECLIPSE!!!
I have been around the world and seen lots of Amazing things, but I have never actually been in the right place at the right time to see one. An this one was an annular eclipse. This only occurs when the moon is swinging far in its orbit and appears smaller, it isn’t large enough to completely blot out the sun, resulting in an annular eclipse. The last time an annular solar eclipse was seen in the contiguous U.S. was 1994.
Loving my time here at Amangiri!!

dinosaurs...much better than drunk smelly fishermen in the lobby:0 So glad your happy! Thanks again for sharing. Mary in ma
the solar eclipse was a treat for science buffs. Grand Junction looked "dusky" and about half of the sun was blocked. Thanks for your updates. If you are missing any dirt, it has all blown into our valley these last two days!!! Are you guys receiving extra Nevada dust via this windy weather? Curious how this wind storm compares to the Unalaska storms.

I remember the one in 1994. My kids were little and we were outside with Dad and his telescope. The sky got darker and the birds stopped singing. It was so quiet for no real reason. Then the moon started moving past the sun and it was warm again.
We watched this one from our front room. Living close to the beach gave us haze and the eclipse was visible through that.
The dinosaur exhibit must be cream in your coffee. I am so glad you are happy there. Are temps >100 now? Must be quite the change from Dutch.
Peace.
Actually it has not hit 100 here yet, but we did have a few good dust storms the past week, it makes everything charges with "Static Electricity" so you get shocked every time you touch a lightswitch or door handle. The winds are nothing compared to Dutch, although everyone here acts like its a hurricane. Watched the DC the other night and was a bit homesick for Dutch....until I got to go on a Hot air baloon ride with some VIP guests.....that I cant post pictures of because they are VIP. but it was a blast!
Not much to miss in Dutch. Still cold and wet. The road to the Grand is still full of holes and of course the parking look looks like a lake. Enjoy a place that has class. But clean up that office. Hahahaha. (You are a housekeeping manager after all ).
WOW love the dinosaur exhibit how awesome to have where you work. Glad you got to see and experience the solar eclipse it is quite neat. Hope you have a great week the hot air balloon ride sounds incredible just the thing to cure the homesickness.
