Oh hi there from Stanford, California! I’m going to be living on campus here for the next week and doing a pediatric rotation at the hospital here! I just flew in on Saturday (and boy are my arms tired?). It’s been a bit of a whirlwind, but I’m all moved in and thanks to Goodwill/Costco/Ikea my “dorm” is starting to feel like home.
I hope to post pictures soon, but I’m expecting my blogging to become a bit more sporadic. The good news is that I have a nice guest blog post tomorrow from Jessica of Delicious Obsessions. She was my Foodie Penpal this month and she’ll be writing about the box of Wisconsin goodies that I sent here!
Here are a few random snaps from my time out and about in Palo Alto/Stanford today:
1. Archery practice! Apparently, Stanford has an archery team and a dedicated archery practice field. My roommate informs me that they sometimes offer free lessons. I am hoping that this happens while I’m here. It would be amazing to try!
2. There are flowers everywhere! These were outside of a gas station!
3-4. I had Korean food for lunch. I stopped at So Gong Dong Tofu House and had Bimibap. It was absolutely fantastic and full of healthy veggies, tofu, and my favorite, Kimchi.
5. More flowers! This was outside an adult retirement center.
6. This touching sculpture was also in front of the retirement center.
It’s so beautiful here! I did a run on the Campus Drive loop and there is so much to see. It’s a really beautiful place. I’m excited and nervous to start tomorrow!
Hi glad things are going well!
