I was thumbing through a Croatia guidebook this morning and stopped to look at photos of the wildlife. You can still find bears in Croatia, in the mountains. I was thinking about how it would be unlikely, but cool, to see some.
An hour later, as I was barreling down the road half an hour from home to take the kids to a Cub Scout party, a black bear scampered across the road in front of me!
Could write a long post on the topic of how great it is to live in the Pacific Northwest and why we chose to time our trip so we could enjoy the glorious Northwest summer at home and how much we enjoy our local bald eagles and osprey and salmon and otters. But, ... bears. What more is there to say?
