You can barely see the people but there are several hundred out in the middle of that field looking at the Trinity site - where the first atomic bomb was tested in 1945. Tom and I drove there Saturday - he's been wanting to go there since we arrived. It is about 30 miles southeast of Socorro, NM. Here's a couple of photos:

Tom has a whole pound of fudge in his  hand - neither of us are supposed to have it - but we did. we made ourselves wait 30 minutes between bites. We also ate at a lovely little restaurant in Magdelena NM on the way to the Very Large Array.

You may remember the Very Large Array from the movie Contact. Again, this was Tom's trip. He went on the tour while I read my book. Hence there are no pictures of Tom - just of the Very Large Array!

We got to watch them change position while we were there.
