The first stop was at Bowman’s Oak, a bed and breakfast just outside the hustle and jibe of downtown Wisconsin Dells. The elderly owners of the inn were snowbirding in Florida, and a Southerner and her new husband who had met on eharmony were watching the bed and breakfast for the winter. The woman had never been out of Mississippi. When we told her of our plan to visit an indoor waterpark, she said a Chinese family had recently done the same. The Chinese father had said the water was up to his neck, but who knows how deep that really is, because he was so short. She said a group of Korean college students had recently stayed at the inn for a ski trip. I got the feeling there aren’t many Asian Americans in Mississippi.
