It’s hot out. And with the dog days of summer stretching on, there are fewer and fewer reasons not to book a vacation—particularly since hotels mean access to air conditioning and pools. Let’s be honest: When it comes to cooling down, almost any body of water will do. But if you’re looking to make your next swim an epic occasion, we’ve gathered a selection of hotel pools from around the world that go the extra mile.

Five Days in Copenhagen

Photo by Shvets Anna on Pexels.com Many years ago, I had the lucky experience of spending my spring break in Copenhagen while my husband was traveling there on a business trip. Spring break is one of the perks of being a teacher! While he worked, I got a chance to roam the city alone with no particular agenda each day. Looking back, it was once of the most relaxing trips I’ve ever taken. That…

Copenhagen, Denmark

I remember discovering the fire of Notre Dame on tumblr, so I'm very sorry to inform everyone that the Danish Stock Exchange in Copenhagen, completed in 1625, is burning. Its unique spire has fallen, and as the building is, to a larger degree than Notre Dame, made of wood, mortar, and stucco, there may be very real structural damage. As you can see from the image, they were in the process of restoring it, just as it was the case with the church. Very real reconsideration should be done to how we restore very old buildings if we keep setting them on fire during the work.

People off the street have been seen running into the building and bringing out historical art pieces, primarily paintings. If you are close by, DO NOT do this! I know it appears the heroic thing to do, but no human life is worth the risk to save a painting, no matter how significant.

Copenhagen-based experimental noise/post-punk outfit Taxidermy — Osvald Reinhold (vocals, guitar), Toke Brejning Frederiksen (guitar), Joachim Lorch-Schierning (bass) and Johan Knutz Haavik (drums) — have quickly established a sound that draws from math rock, No Wave, post-hard and emo. Thematically, the Danish quartet’s work sees them exploring the unease and disquiet of contemporary existence…
