Revival of my blog

Sooooo for the majority of intern year my blog has been neglected.  No real big surprise there.  Well - I'm tired of that and so many other things.  For most of the year I have just been go go go go.  No time to look up, no time to take in a moment to breathe or even reflect on what has happened the past year.  Seriously - I feel like I put my head down and just go through the motions.  Knowing it's supposed to be tough, knowing I'm supposed to be pushed, to work harder than I've ever worked in my entire life.
Don't get me wrong there are some good times, patients I enjoy, etc.  But it's the same - keep moving.  Have fun when you are off, because they're won't be time for it later.
Well - I'm back.  I've decided I deserve 5 minutes of me time everyday and my blog deserves a little TLC.

So here you go - post 1 of the revival of my blog.

While I was away on my rural rotations, Sarah came to visit and I took her to a local hot spot.  That's where the attendings told me I had to take her.  "It's one of the reasons people come here to visit."  Ok I said.

The locale?  Natural hot springs.  The choice? A nicer place with tiled bottomed floors and chlorinated water or ... a hippie place where it's a more natural feel with free flowing water, private clothing optional rooms.  Where did we go?  The choice was easy!

Hippie Place - HERE WE COME!

Interested little gift shop - kind of reminds you of grandma's house.

Our little Asian themed hot spring room.  That black painted PVC pipe would be the handrail to the steps inside the pool.

Sarah enjoying the hot spring.  Ok - maybe more like a sauna.  It was not the best planned out trip as it was 90 something degrees that day!

Now for the full effect - this is what the little rooms look like from the outside.  Oh so nice!

More...um...yeah - you get the picture.
