York, PA

Yesterday I drove from Durham, to York, PA, perhaps better known as "The Factory Tour Capital of the World." Hmmmm.......Anyhoo, the house is a teeny little postwar box-like thing that's actually pretty nice inside, after a bit of elbow grease. It's right next to the hospital, which is great. And guess what - we have memberships to this really nice health club right down the road. I already went today - I'm so proud of myself!

And who says God doesn't have a sense of humor? Below is the view from our front door - you got it, a Stouffers Cookie Factory! The little thing on the bottom right is the door to their factory store, which is right in front of our house! When I got there last night, it was dark and all I saw was the across the street was some kind of industrial complex. This morning, by 7, the air was already filled with this wonderful baking aroma....Yep, the same time I resolve to start working out and being healthy, God puts me right next to a cookie factory!

This is just a really pretty tree in our neighborhood. I love these - you never get these in California or Texas (or Arizona, for that matter!). This is one of the many things of the east coast/north that I never get tired of seeing......

I haven't met my attending yet, but I'm already inclined to think he's a great guy. When our student coordinator paged him about 12:30 to find out where to send me, he told her to tell me to go home & enjoy a day off - how cool is that! So I went to the gym, Panera (now), and then I'm going to meet the other students at a pub for MNF. What a great start - I am loving York already!
