Summer

Well, exams are finally over so I can update this blog. Andrew and I will be going to Pennsylvania for the summer. I have an elective at the University of Pennsylvania for a month. Andrew has his J1 Visa and is hoping to be able to work while we're there. My elective is in Pennsylvania Hospital and is in Neonatal ICU, so I will have to brush up on my neonatology.


Pennsylvania Hospital is the nation's first hospital founded in 1751 by Benjamin Franklin and Dr. Thomas Bond. It's in Center City Philadelphia.

Thursday night we decided to go up to Dublin and visit Cath and Stewy. We found out late Thursday night that Stewy had Friday off, and he easily convinced us to come to Dublin right then, so we left at midnight to head up to Dublin. Three hours later we made it there no problem. On Friday we decided to head to Glendalough. We'd never been there before so it was good to finally see it. It was a pretty nice day, cloudy, but no rain so perfect for a picnic near the upper lake.




Then we took the scenic route back to Dublin through Sally Gap and passed by this waterfall.



So it was a good trip and Saturday morning was back to the usual rain.
