Famous waters from all over the world – the seven seas, lakes, rivers, puddles and ponds – flowed into Houston in a steady stream all summer long until the city could truly be called a blue-sky pool of sky-blue waters.
At least, Ben Milam Hotel’s new pool – shimmering in the middle of a roof-top’s tiles and windscreened terrace – belongs to the world. It became the world’s most international body of water during three-day opening ceremonies in August.
Festivities featured some 18 bottles, jugs, jars, urns and ewers of water poured into the first hotel swimming pool in downtown Houston.
