Fountain of Youth

St. Augustine, Florida, has the secret to eternal youth?

My bathroom counter has become an altar to the Julia Rosiengoddess of youth. And in all honesty, the more crows that flock to the corners of my eyes, the more penance I'm willing to pay to get on that damn goddess's good side.

But I'm tired of living like a refugee of youth - I want back in.

I need a Fountain of Youth.

In St. Augustine, past the Old Jail and the abandoned museum, a series of 3 arches lead to a sort of watering hole or natural spring. The arches are rusty (and make me question the quality of this water) and spray-painted gold statues surround it.

Welcome to the Fountain of Youth, St. Augustine, Florida.

The Fountain of Youth is dedicated to Ponce de Leon's discovery of North America in 1513 (just a few years after the British and Italians, but what's a few years between friends?).

I'm tempted. A sip and a prayer couldn't hurt - and it's cheaper than my current repertoire of elixirs.

I set up Hands Up Holidays with the passion to create amazing vacations where people got to learn about other cultures, explore a destination, and interact meaningfully with the locals, through the medium of carefully consulted volunteer projects. Families do indeed get a lot out of our trips, as do couples, single travellers, and seniors. Yours in Adventures That Count Chris "

On Myanmar Disaster Relief – Volunteer Vacations Can Help, Jen said " If you're frustrated that you don't have a response yet, I can understand. Right now the agencies are still dealing with a lot of paperwork to get into Myanmar. However, once they are in, they need names and applications on file so they can call on you when they are ready to go. If your vacation dates are more structured, why don't you contact an agency which runs volunteer programs all the time, you'll be able to make a difference somewhere without driving your boss nuts waiting to find out when you're going. Good luck!"
