ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
We thought this fountain was wonderful because it's dedicated to "Alcachofa" or the Artichoke! When the fountain was comissioned in 1776, artichokes were the main food in the winter months, especially for farmers.
