A Very Impressive Day in...

Rochester Minnesota!

I was so excited about photographing my journey in Rochester.

The Mayo Clinic is a very impressive place!

(I say that mostly from an artistic standpoint.

I know it’s impressive in many other ways, but the art captivated me.)

Consider this your personal tour of the clinic.

Art is everywhere…

…as it is so healing

…inspiring…

…interesting…

Everything I saw made me respond in some small way.

Truly.

I felt like I was having a spiritual experience as I walked through the halls at Mayo.

I was close to tears.

I wondered how it would feel to be a patient at the clinic.

I felt like I was in an art museum at times.

The views of the city were incredible!

Everywhere you go, you can feel inspiration, healing, love.

I couldn’t get enough.

I wasn’t expecting to feel this way,

but I did.

And I liked it.

On the 19th floor with a woman taking a snack break.

She had kicked off her shoes and was rotating her ankles when I passed her.

It’s very very quiet on the 19th floor.

Every time I see this quote (And it’s EVERYWHERE in the clinic) I smile because it’s truly what happens here.

Our 30 hours in Rochester were fabulous!

This interview business is rather fun for me;

I get to have lovely dinners with Rick and the residents, learn more about each hospital and program,

drive around the city during the day and get a feel for life there,

stay in nice hotels with gyms and pools

and sleep on soft beds with cleans sheets each night.

It was a luxury being with my husband on this interview trail.

I am loving it!

Until….
