Miami Photos

The first thing I did when I got to Miami is go down to the beach.

There were all these crazy model shoots going on. It looked like they were shooting for summer clothing. One group was apparently for a big and tall store.

As you can see, this photo was actually taken standing in the Atlantic Ocean!


Did I mention how much I love the Ocean?

The next day I drove to the interview but the bridge to the hospital was up all day.



They have canals running around all through Miami to allow boats to go inland a ways. At certain times of the day they raise the bridges that go over the canals so the boats can go up and down them.

Most surgery residents work in a VA at some point during their training. How many will get to work at a VA with palm trees out front?


Another difference about Miami hospitals -

I have never seen a fruit stand outside a hospital before.

Here is the original hospital building. Today it is surrounded by a ring of modern hospital buildings.
