I have another gondola story but that comes in a later post. I loved the bear very much, they are gorgeous animals and I am always impressed with the talent of one who can carve these incredible wooden sculptures.

Alas, I did not get any good shots of eagles. People kept telling me that it was because we were a little too early for the salmon running. My sister-and-brother-in-law went on a king crab fishing trip however, and when the skipper and his crew threw fish over the side, they descended out of the trees in the dozens. So they were around.
