This week the second-year students worked on an exercise about a lifeguard at a waterpark in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, USA. The Wisconsin Dells is a natural feature on the Wisconsin River, a canyon at the river narrows with beautiful rocks formations carved by millions of years of running water. Wisconsin Dells, WI, is a town near the Dells. Wisconsin Dells is a family resort town, full of people during the summer tourist season, and especially known for its water parks. I visited the Dells as a little girl in - eep - 1976. That was before water parks were invented!
Does spending your summer vacation visiting water parks sound like your idea of heaven? Or maybe you prefer seeing a new city, or travelling where most tourists fear to tread?
