Lakes and Dells

First, lakes.

Today we drove through the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes. We only counted 31, so apparently there are 9,969 more lakes that aren’t right off of Interstate 94. (There was some dispute over whether some of the 31 lakes qualified as a “lake.” I thought they were all “lakes,” but Kevin said he thought some of them were just flooded fields and marshes.)

Seriously, I think Minnesota is a beautiful state. Lots of trees and green rolling hills.

Second, dells.

We are currently staying overnight in Wisconsin Dells, WI. To be honest, we weren’t even sure what a “dell” was exactly – except we know that some farmer lives in one.

When we drove into “downtown” Wisconsin Dells to get dinner, it looked like a mini-Las Vegas strip with a Ripley’s and lots of “horror houses.”

So, we surmised that the dells must be the major tourist attraction, if not the only one, in central Wisconsin.

Fortunately the restaurant we ate in had lots and lots of pictures of the “dells.” So, now we are enlightened.

Tomorrow we arrive at our destination – Indianapolis. Hooray! Our vacation has been fun but living out of suitcases and staying in hotels is getting very old.
