Settling in nicely

We've been in Winslow for 4 days now and I'm apparently still running on eastern time. Arizona decided not to buy into the daylight savings shenanegans, so the sun is up by 5AM. It's really disorientating. Yesterday, I took a short run in the AM and felt the difference 5000ft makes! I was really sucking wind!

In the clinic, we've been settling in nicely. We're working with a lot of good folks as well as doing a lot of good work.

The clinic is well-stocked and nicely built. There are 5 operatories. We rotate in to one of the ops whenever someone comes in. We treat patients by appointment as well as walk-in and try to see as many as possible. With 3 students (2 UNC, 1 Tufts), 2 residents, and 1 staff dentist, we can usually do a ton of good work. Below are some pictures of the clinic and some of the folks we're working with.

After work today, Mike and I decided to head to La Posada for my b-day dinner.

The place has gotten great reviews from the local folks as well as the intar-web. One of the local favorite dishes here in Northern Arizona is Chorro. It's lamb that's been raised on the local reservation. I had the Chorro sampler, a nice glass of wine, and a snifter of pear brandy for dessert. Tasty!

We've been trying to figure out what to do this weekend. On the 'potentials' list is hiking in the painted desert / petrified forest area, seeing meteor crater, and heading down to Sedona. I'm definitely up for some hiking since I picked up a pair of Merril light hiking shoes in Albequerque.
