In the Desert!

I've been just south of Phoenix for the past week on my CORE surgery rotation, and it's been a blast so far.  The doctors at the practice I'm at are very laid back, and willing to answer questions, and I've gotten to scrub into some cool surgeries.

I decided to explore the area a little bit today, and found the Superstition Mountain Museum.  It had a lot of exhibits covering mining, the lost dutchman mine, the apaches, and to end the visit, there was an old chapel with an Elvis statue standing up front.  I guess there used to be an old Western movie set in the area, but the Elvis addition was hilarious.  Apparently people actually get married there.

After that mini-adventure, the rest of my day is dedicated to finishing up case logs from Friday, writing a case report, doing laundry, and all that "responsible" stuff I have to do.
