Marit Larsen Goes Swimming In Luxembourg

Marit Larsen checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace (@maritlarsen) on Saturday (March 28) from the latest stop on her tour with Jason Mraz - Luxembourg. The former M2M singer writes:

Yesterday we decided to brave the rough Luxembourg weather (it wouldn’t stop raining!) and walk to a public indoor pool. We all swam for a long while, listening to continuous mentions of Jason’s name on the radio, and afterwards we spent time in the boiling sauna. I felt like a new human being. My body is starting to tell me it’s not loving sleeping on the bus as much as I am. Hehe.
