P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

We finally managed to get to the baltimore aquarium after attempting to go for like a year. The last time i was there was with the gym team about ten years ago and we paid one of the girls $5 to jump into the baltimore harbor. gross.

Keith's company Whiting Turner actually built the aquarium and because of this little fun fact the company is now a member of the aquarium's priority club for life. That means that the company has 4 passes that get scooped up immediately by all of the guys who work with them who have kids because otherwise it's pretttyy expensive to go for the afternoon and see all the fishes. Fortunately for us this also meant that we didn't have to wait in line or come back at a certain time annnddd got into the dolphin show for free :)

I love going and doing things like this and keith was good enough to be patient with me while i took a ton of pictures. and there were about a million small children, especially since it was a rainy day. my favorite part of the whole aquarium is the exhibit at the very end when you are basically placed in the middle of this gigantic tank and it winds you around walkways from top to bottom. it was incredible especially the sharks :)

that's right, it's 2 turtles doin it. definitely amusing to listen to the parental explanations to curious inquisitive children when they asked what they were doing...


Dolphins. They think they're so cute. Oh, look at me, I'm a flippy little dolphin, let me flip for you." -Chum

my last day of peds is tomorrow and i'm certainly not sorry to see the month and rotation come to an end. it's been so chaotic since my doc was fired and the only thing that i've been able to count on since than is that each day will be as inconsistent as the day before. i've also become incredibly paranoid about picking up rashes from kids they're been 2 within the past 2 days who possibly had scabies. gahh, i couldn't stop itching. can't wait for next rotation to being with chester county volunteers in medicine, it's sounds right up my alley.

off to baltimore for the weekend, and hopefully will be able to relax a bit there :)

  1. I think you might have a calling with national geographic- although you need to like stick a finger in there so i know you actually tood them ;) I love the quotes- and it fits with my peds rotation because we had an aquarium with all the members of finding nemo which was the major hit with all the kiddos.
    I miss you and love you SOOOOOO much neighbor. I hope this next rotation is relaxing, interesting and consistent!
