This morning, we had waffles and pancakes and it was raining pretty heavy but then we saw a couple of bears playing in the water and we forgot all about the rain. We saw all kinds of bear activity:
- they were playing in the water
- some territorial issues
- boulder moving and traversing
- even setting a table and sitting down to eat
On our way to Amalie Harbor
