We're Two Coins in a Fountain


I've only been to Rome once before, and it was in 2005. Alisha and I were dating at the time (I was 24), and we spent 3 days in Rome as part of our pilgrimage to World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany. Here  you'll see two photos from that trip. Above we're in front of the Trevi Fountain, and below in front of St. Peter's Basilica. According to tradition, if you throw one coin into the fountain, you are ensured a return trip to Rome. A second coin will ensure marriage. Our coins have done a pretty good job, with us getting married in 2006 and me returning to Rome this year. Something must've gone wrong with Alisha's other coin. Perhaps I'll head down to the Trevi fountain and put another Euro in for her.
