The Eagle Has Landed

A caroling we did go, five old friends, warm coats and song.
Tight harmony, sweet melodies, familiar faces and heaps of history.
The place, the Historic Hotel North Bend where incomes are low, but spirits soared as the sweet sounds of Christmas rang in the resonant lobby with stairs going here and stairs going there, cool mint tones, and adventure around every corner. my Beloved and I delighted to find the man with the keys to the empty apartments, an old friend, happy to give us a tour and allow some photos of this and photos of that. Shots of the street from the top looking down, blips of the eagle, once missing, now found. Tales were told of myths and legends from long ago, the businesses that came and have since faded away, people who rose to prominence and left their imprint on the heart of down town North Bend, where the eagle has landed once again.

We'll do it again and again and again, these adventures in song with these dearest of friends.
