Day 47 - Wisconsin Dells July 4th & a new photo

I had the disposable camera developed at Walmart with the photos taken at the reunion with my college room mate, Marilyn. The quality is not what I would have liked, but I am so happy to have a photo of the two of us together (this one was by far the best of the four we took).

Gary and I walked around Wisconsin Dells yesterday. This is not only the water playground capital (of the world, they claim), it is also the tacky souvenir shops capital in downtown Wisconsin Dells. What was once an area of natural beauty is now built over by amusement parks, souvenir shops and hotels of all kinds. We haven't taken our Duck Boat ride yet, so the final word has not been said.

We went to an open parking lot last night for so-so fireworks. There were other displays going on - we counted at least 4 other fireworks shows at some of the resort hotels that were a little visible to us from our watching point, so the 4th passed here with the usual fanfare.
