These fountains are so beautiful! Have you ever heard of the Fountain of Youth? It’s supposedly magic and whoever drinks or bathes in its water becomes young again. It continues with the theme that water is restorative and pure. In the post you talked about throwing coins into fountains for good luck. I know it’s just a myth, but I really believe in that! I always like putting coins into fountains even though in a way it’s polluting the water.
