It was an easy morning, perfect in every way except for a second admission charge. But as it turned out well worth it.
The Fountain of Youth exhibit laid out the history of Spanish explorers to the area and offered what they claimed was water from the same spring the Spanish explorers found when they arrived in 1513. It was indeed tasty containing what they claim is at least thirty minerals. It is that plethora of minerals which cures and prevents illness and lengthens life spans.
Exiting the exhibit Mazie said, “I think that water is in fact magic. I feel terrific. A lot better than yesterday.”
Janice laughed, “I suspect that might have more to do with not hiking all over the site than the water.”
“Maybe. Then we should feel super terrific after sitting on our behinds for an hour. Ready for the planetarium?”
The room darkened. The show began with explanations of sailing methods in 1513. Stars, quadrant and astrolabe. The ceiling of theater lit up with stars as they appeared on April 2, 1513. The explanations continued.
“Wow,” Mazie said as they reoriented their eyes to the sunshine. “Amazing. Absolutely amazing. But I think there might something in that water.”
