We're back in Sao Paulo.....just arrived this morning. We had a FANTASTIC trip!!Got your fax on the ship too. Saw 13 polar bears all within a few kilometers of each other.

One had killed a seal and was eating it when a mother and her cub decided to take it over. We watched them for about a half an hour. It was incredible to see. Dave took the polar plunge into the Arctic. I couldn't do it. I was designated video person, so I've got it on tape, and a couple of pictures too I think. Looking forward to seeing you when you get to SP. We'll have to show you some of our pictures!!
