The most amazing thing was seeing bears swimming in the ocean in Kodiak, AK, and being about 4 feet away from them at the time. Also swimming with dolphins in New Zealand, the look they give you when you dive into their environment, as if to say, "Come on, let's play! Keep up with me"

Be mindful that there are two train stations in Vienna, i didn't know that and got on the wrong train. But I think they were more scared of my green haired, green faced (hungover), 15 yr old kid traveling alone than I was of the machine gun pointing, Czechoslovakian guard in the train car at the border stop. Don't try and learn the meaning of the word cogotero when traveling in Peru. Just because you don't see any bears, doesn't mean they aren't close by when hiking trails in Alaska.
