Beverages in Italy- The free kind!


A final entry on beverages is on one which is free in Rome. I am speaking of the many public water fountains around the city. All you need is a water bottle and you drink for free all day. I have to be honest though, I was a bit skeptical at first. Having grown up on Brita water, I wasn’t sure how “safe” this water would be. But after 2 weeks where none of my fellow classmates perished, I felt I was good to go ahead and try the water. What a great decision that was. Not only was the water good and cold, I was overjoyed at the money I would save over time. Two Euro a day on water was really adding up. And nothing else could possibly be more refreshing on a scorching hot summer day in Rome.
