Fountain Hoppin'

So Aix-en-Provence is known in France as being the "City of a Thousand Fountains". There are fountains all over this place, for real. My goal is by the time I've left Aix I will have gone in EVERY FOUNTAIN. I've already started my escapades including the Fountain of the Four Dolphins (accompanied by my friend Ben) and the famous Fountain of Hot Water (more like, lukewarm if you ask me). Here are some pictures from the fountains I went in last night. 

At the famous Fountain of LUKEWARM AT BEST water with Cyril (French) and Allez-Handro (Spanish)

In the famous fountain of I don't know where this is because I drank a lot of boxed wine that night

 

So the mother of all Fountains in Aix is the Fountain of the Rotondre which I will be conquering this Saturday on my 21st birthday whoop whoop!! (Quick B-day shout out to Romni who's birthday is on Friday-- I'll be missin' you). But back to the fountain-- it's this huge three tiered beauty with statues and jets of water, and I will literally swim a lap in this thing. I've been daydreaming about it all week. People keep telling me that it is illegal to swim in the Rotondre (in fact, it is illegal to swim in all the fountains in Aix), but I figure if a cop tries to tell me anything I'll just be like BIRTHDAY LAW. IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, CAN'T ARREST ME. Or I'll just say I fell in wearing my bathing suit, and had to swim a lap before I figured out how to get out. My french lady friend Cassandra told me as a birthday gift, she would exchange sexual favors with the police to get me out of prison. So it is like, uhhhhh who says french people aren't friendly? 

Anyway, hopefully pictures of my birthday fountain adventure, and not my arrest, are soon to come
