Vacation Ending

It is my last day of vacation. Bummer. I have had a nice 6 days here getting some vitamin D, looking at pretty scenery, and generally chilling. We went snorkeling with sea turtles yesterday. Totally awesome. Today, I saw sea turtles at the aquarium. They looked a lot healthier in a way. I guess a life free of predators and full of regular feedings leads to a shinier shell without barnacles and other various perks.

I have noticed it takes me longer to unwind during vacations the further I get into this medical training adventure. The further you go, the more stress and responsibility builds up. While I have always preferred to take trips to cities or to do things outdoors on vacation, I am starting to see the appeal of the do-nothing vacation just for this reason.

There is an interesting Atul Gawande article on the Senate Health Care bill. Check it out.

Okay, off to the beach one last time. Tomorrow I will be spending on the airplane, so I'd better get some fresh air while I can.
