I just had to snap a photo of this rooftop swimming pool, right after which I put down the camera and jumped in. My friend K, staying in this hotel on performance days, invited me over for a dip in the water and a lie in the sun out on the terrace. Quite luxurious — if we hadn’t had to sing that evening, we could have ordered cocktails.

"I'm enjoying your writing. You have such a personal voice, strong and warm with a good edge."
"Dein Blog ist zu einem festen Bestandteil meiner online- Lesekultur geworden- du bereicherst jeweils meinen Tag."
"You seem to get around on topics -- as I recall, pretty much everything from local resistance to Nazis to now green roofs. That's what I like about your blog -- if you find it interesting, important, or amusing, you blog about it and your personality, as far as I can tell, really comes through. Great job. — And the pictures are just awesome. "
"Just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much I enjoy your blog. ... Keep up the good work and hopefully one day when I am back in Innsbruck i can hear you sing."
"Great blog, I really like the way you write about Land und Leute."

>That is a black pool and I want one! Gorgeous.PS Now that France and Italy have both been eliminated, I'm not sure who to root for. Is New Zealand still around? -Carlisle
>Duh! GERMANY! Those are my boys. But if you want a dark horse with a chance, root for Ghana. The "Black Stars" are pretty good.
