"Drinking" Fountains


Hello all!

These posts are going to be a little out of order since I haven't gotten a chance to upload any pictuers/write recently. After I made the blog I soon realized I don't think I am much of a blogger or atleast not yet - they are harder to keep up with then you think!

I think I am safe to say if you know me pretty well you know I hate sharing drinks with other people. There is nothing worse then when you open up a new pop, take your first drink and then someone asks, "Hey, do you mind if I have a drink of that"...Or haveing to drink out of a old water bottle...and the absolute worst of all is having to fill up your glass from anywhere but a kitchen tap...But after arriving in Switzerland/Italy I soon realized I was going to have to give in.


There were no kitchen taps around for me to use and buying a new bottle of water for 5 dollars every time I was thirsty wasn't going to work...So we were taking a walking tour of Switzerland one of our first days and the guide said that every drinks from the fountains since the water is so clean. I thought it was absolutly sick that people would do this - people were practically bathing in them. But, by the end of the day I was soooooo thirsty I gave in and it was actually REALLY good water. SO Pure!

  1. If you don't like the drinking fountains, what do you think about the unisex bathrooms? I am so anxious to hear about and see all your pictures. Wish I was there with you. What do you think of the little cars and trucks they drive. They all look like little toys, esprecially their "semi" trucks.

    Love you.

  3. Lauren, how do you know that was a drinking fountain and not a public bathing bowl?
