Winslow in the rear view mirror

Friday was our last day in the clinic at Winslow. The experience there was incredible and I learned a ton. I've said this before, but the staff at the clinic were incredibly nice. For our last day, the decided to make us "Navajo tacos" for lunch. To make them, you have to start with a wonderful base of 'Fry Bread', which reminds me of elephant ears (minus the sweetness). On top of the fry bread, you pour a mixture of beans and ground beef. This is topped with tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and hot sauce. The result is amazingly good. I had tacos and was completely stuffed! After lunch, we finished up work in the clinic and said our goodbyes.


Saturday, we packed up the truck and headed onward toward Denver. Our path was a little out of the way, but afforded us the opportunity to visit Antelope canyon near Page AZ. Antelope is a slot canyon that is about 1/4 mile in length, at one point nearly 90 feet deep, and often less than 3 feet wide. The views from the canyon floor are amazing and are often photographed.
Sunday saw us complete the drive to Denver. I'm fortunate enough to be staying with a good friend Seth who been in town for quite a while. Thankfully, Seth is a foodie who knows all the good spots to eat in town and we'll be hitting as many of them as possible. Sunday night, we started it off right at Sushi Den. It's one of my all-time favorite restaurants on the planet and didn't disappoint.
This rotation is shaping up to be much more intense than the last. I anticipate it will also be a very good learning environment. The GPR here at the Denver hospital is unique in that the residents get a great deal of practice with procedures that are tradionally left to specialists. It is a good way to help carve out a niche for yourself. I'm really looking forward to getting more hands on experience and learning all I can.
