Saw a Black Bear CLOSE!!

Sunday we arrived in Alaska and went directly to the bear viewing area. We spent two hours there and didn't see any bears. We were told to come back in the morning early to see them eating salmon . . . well our early morning didn't end up being 7:00am but more like 11:00am. When we arrived a black bear walked up alongside the viewing area and grabbed a salmon and ate it right in front of us. It really was absolutely amazing . . . we couldn't have wished for anything more from Alaska . . . We saw the some bald eagles, salmon swimming up stream, bears eating salmon and a big fat Glacier . . . what else is there? I would like to have seen a Killer Whale but some of the salmons were as big as whales so that will have to do.
