Not sure what Waltzing Waters is or Pine Island. Is that one of the
"attractions" up in the Dells?

Waltzing Waters in one of those old Florida tourist attraction.
Hydraulic valves creating water patterns in the air, colored by lights
and set to the sound of music. Mostly Strauss, as I recall.
Only works at night when the skeeters are out.
Jungle Jim's Gator Farm was another down there, but I never went.
Pine Island is by Ft Meyers.
Believe it or not I've never been to the Dells, except I drove through
there once on the way to a fishing cabin at Castle Rock.
Told the kids "There, you saw the Dells. Now shut up."

WF is a river/canal that runs through Providence. At night they light fires
along the route in baskets in the water that are stocked and stoked by
gondoliers all dressed in black. Really "spooky". Music is played from a
sound system along the riverside. People walk along the river ooohing and
aaaaawing.

Saw lots of youngun's sitting along the route swapping spit like you and I
may have done with our dates 50 or 60 years ago. We used to call it
submarine races down my the Lake Michigan shore.

Spooning? You talking about spooning?
Hey, I'm only 62. And I was still just playing baseball when I was
12.

Oooops. Storms is here with the lights blinking and the dsl connection
dropping in and out. But what the hey, we need the rain, just no
hurricanes.

Good luck!
