Day 14: 8:30am

I didn't want a morning in Juneau to go to waste.  That and the fact that I'm staying in a friend's empty apartment and for once have that lovely quiet alone time in the morning all to myself!

The apartment has a great view, being on a hill overlooking downtown Juneau and the water below.  You can see the hilly islands and snow covered trees on the mountains.  A dense foggy mist was hanging over the mountains.

This is the kind of morning I wish I could have every morning.  A chance to take in some beauty and just be still and quiet for a little while.  I went for a walk downtown.  It's so nice here, I wore a light sweater-like jacket.  The streets were silent.  The historic looking shops and buildings were all closed.  It was as if I had the town to myself.  The misty rain made the setting all the more mysterious.  I finally settled down in a coffee shop at the window, waiting for the sleepy world to wake up.

It was, all in all, a nice morning.
