Even more dangle

This lovely item speaks for itself -worn by an equally lovely Zambian woman. One of the unexpected joys of medical school is meeting people from all over the world. I am inspired by the colors, decorations and stories. My little house will be glad I met these people, so I will bedazzle this space, poco-a-poco.

Speaking of Spanish, what a great little taco shop I discovered this weekend in South Tucson: Taqueria Pico de Gallo. The tacos are the thing to order, with handmade corn tortillas that are about 1/4 inch thick! MMm, you can smell them as you drive up! Not greasy, but baked or roasted, perfect for the desert any time of year.

I used to think I had a good imagination, but all of this proves me wrong. I never thought to have such interesting classmates, such delicious food, dramatic monsoons, (and so many fabulous earrings!)

Zapotec creation

Found this rug at Old Town Artisans in Tucson and love the warm and texture - you can feel the lanolin in the wool fibers still. It will live on the wall in my little place. It should feel at home above the saltillo tile floor.

Small dreams fulfilled are delicious - and the tile floor and rug are just that - like pomegranate seeds in the salad of life!

By the way, buying locally grown Canary melons and putting them next to the same deliciously yellow baby pear tomoatoes is also pure joy.

Pretty in Pink

Pink Oleander and pink Adobe on my bike ride to class this morning. It was overcast today, the air cool after last night's pyrotechnical thunder and lightning show. We worked on our class Mission and Vision, a worthwhile pause for reflection in the dash towards medical knowledge.

Rock climbing at the wall and cooking dinner just rounds out the day, along with my beautiful stethoscope arriving in the mail!

The power of orange adobe

On my ride to class this morning, these shadows on the orange adobe made me stop.

The colors of the sunset tonight look this orange as well.

In-between these two oranges was another day of learning - this time the library! (so many resources) and adrenal hormones (so many enzymes..) and team learning on liver disorders...whew!
