Alright, kid.

I went out to Wild Wadi Water World today, just like you always wanted...and you're welcome to come with me next time I go!  But I warn you, it's not worth the discounted price I paid for it.

There are like 2 rides, really:  a really stomach-wrenching waterslide, and probably the best lazy river on planet earth.  At least, I imagine so.  I haven't really been on too many lazy rivers, and in fact I only learned what a lazy river was like last winter.  The only thing is, it has a specific name (which I can't remember) but it really ought to be named the Butt Basher--because you sit with your butt in an inner tube, and the water jets you so hard that it leaves bruises.

Just a warning.

Well, this is what it looks like.

It's a fun place, really, but I don't think it's quite the way you and I were imagining.  I will let you wear my Wild Wadi shirt, however.

Love,
Liz
