This is the most beautiful pool in the world to me—it feels like you’re in Italy in the middle of DC. It’s magic. Just open to staff and fellows, I literally started working at the gift shop after college to get access to the pool and library… a true gem.

I am so glad someone has fulfilled my life long dream to swim in that pool.

Every day, three times a day, from the first day of April to the last day of November for two years! I miss it so much.

I went for a friends birthday party around age 10 and the memory is still burned into my brain. It was magic!
@fewerandbetter
