Today was the second attempt at getting up Mt. Roberts
Tramway in Juneau. Last week it was rainy, today it was not.
From the top of mountain I could see everything. The town,
mountains, the cruise ship.
I even saw a bald eagle that had been shot in the
beak and has a torn retina. The bird has recovered all he can, but is unable to
be released back into the wild. He still can fly though, and gave me quite a
start when he headed toward me as I was snapping a picture.
After coming down the mountain, I found the quilt shop I was looking for. No sale items (which means no purchase for me) but I discovered buttons. They had two separate cases of buttons of all shapes and sizes. I wonder what my mom would think of all these.

These last few days I’ve put quite a few miles on these
feet. I’m quite surprise that I’ve kept my stamina up with all this walking. A long day, a full day, another day of pushing myself beyond
what I thought I could do. Who knew I really would go up and down in a tram,
look out over (and down) viewing platforms with absolutely no fear of heights? And who knew I could walk this much? Although,
I have to admit today I had to take quite a few sit down breaks on my way back
to the cruise ship. I wasn’t the only one taking a break.
The ravens sure seem used to people.

A nice sunset out our balcony is a good way to end a day.
Full disclosure, though – I took this picture last night as we left Skagway and passed by Haines, Alaska.
