Passed Step 1

Hooray! I found out I passed my Step 1 boards today! Woo hoo!

Philadelphia trip from last week.

Not in Philadelphia, but do you ever need a reason for pictures of Annie? She's getting better at the fetch and bring things back, trick. At least now, she normally comes back, with or without the frisbee.

Lunch at Mikasa by City Hall. Good meal for very reasonable price. Took a while to preapare. I came at 1:30, so I wonder how they handle the crowd at lunch.

I got another flat tire, but while it was being fixed I got to walk around the Drexel area, which I haven't done, even though I technically go to that school. Here's a wierd stained glass scupture from the area.

I got somewhat lost coming home and ended up crossing the Delaware on this little tiny bridge that had the cars scraping the paint off of each other, by Trenton.

850 miles 14 hours, Chicago to New Jersey

That was a nice hiatus from blogging. Weeks later I'm finally getting around to posting pictures from my drive back from Chicago. It took about 14 hours with two hours for rest stops. Overall, though it was very relaxing because it was the first day in months that I didn't have to spend all my time studying and thinking about medicine. If I'd driven with someone else, I 'd have had to spend my non-driving time studying, which wouldn't have been fun.

My last pictures in Chicago

All set to go.

I didn't take any pictures in Idiana so all of these highway shots are just rolling through Ohio.

America's heartland.

I just passed a huge stip mine, but I guess i didn't quite make it for the picture.

It almost killed me not stopping at the RV and Mobile Home Hall of Fame, but I wanted to make it back in one day.

I stopped for dinner in Brookville, PA. Here's the local Presbyterian church and cemetery.

Very unusually there was a rainbow on the same side of the sky as the sun. Normally, you only see rainbows facing away from the sun. Unfortunately, it's also very hard to tak pictures facing the sun. (It's the little streak of light in the middle. The sun is the black dot.)
