Continued our walk, another seven hours along the ridge to the end of the Queen Charlotte Track.

Punga Cove
View from our A-frame, Punga Cove, Marlborough Sound, half-way through our hike.
Swanky Coffee
Walked the Minneapolis skyways to avoid subzero weather. Stopped for a coffee and pastry at Spyhouse Coffee in the Emery Hotel in a beautifully repurposed bank building.
Augsburg University
Wandered through Augsburg University with a friend who studied mathematics there in the 1960’s.
Diverse Walk
On my diverse walk: an art gallery, a gingerbread Hardanger violin, and lefse for later at Norway House; American Indian galleries at All My Relations and the Minneapolis American Indian Center; tonkotsu ramen, and Chinese broccoli (for later) at United Noodles, an Asian supermarket.
Model of Downtown
The Minneapolis skyways were 80 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the streets below, so I walked the skyways. Spotted a model of Downtown in Cesar Pelli’s Wells Fargo Center. For me, the Wells Fargo Center seems outclassed by the restraint of Philip Johnson’s IDS Center.
Icy Paths
Managed to stay upright on icy paths as I walked our jogging route.
Treadmill Fears
It’s beyond freezing out there, so I jogged on a treadmill for the first time in decades. For most of the run I held on for dear life, concerned I’d be launched backwards off the contraption. Then I noticed the clip attached to a cord attached to an emergency Off switch.
Stapled Fragments
On my walk, fragments remained stapled to a University of Minnesota bulletin board.
Empty Lobbies
Walked through empty corporate lobbies while running errands Downtown.
