The Sights of Cincy

6 weeks down and 6 to go!! We're half way through our last internship, friends! My midterm went just fine, and I'm looking forward to the weeks ahead, which is fun to be able to say. So this last week, one of my 17 month old patients sneezed and spit up at the same time. It was confusing/weird/on me. I didn't know such things were possible.
My roommate and I finally tried the famous Cincinnati chili, and it was delicious! There are multiple places to get it, so we'll see if I try any others. Believe it or not, I couldn't finish this meal...now that's a hearty meal.

I drove through a pretty park in the city and saw this frozen pond. Apparently that's kind of common up here?
I've seen a few more sights in Cincy during these past two weeks, so I thought I'd share some pictures with y'all! On my day off this week, I went to Krohn's Conservatory, which is basically a huge greenhouse...kind of like an indoor arboretum.





Be thankful those are the only ones I put up here...I have so many more to choose from!

Today, Amanda and I went to visit St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption in northern Kentucky (only about 15 minutes away). The building of it began in 1894, and it is incredible! It was easily as pretty as some of the cathedrals in Europe.
As Amanda and I were walking from the parking lot into the Basilica, a car slowed down next to us with some sketchy guy hanging out the window. His cat call was, "Heyyyyy. I like the church. ::pause:: Yeah...Christianity!!" And then another guy drove by and said something that I don't want to repeat. So the Cathedral wasn't in the nicest area.

I loved this stained glass window of Jesus with the children.

There were mosaics around the whole cathedral that showed the stages of the road to the cross. The details were unbelievable.

All of the wood in here was hand-carved. I mean, really?

This 67 foot tall beauty is the largest church stained glass window in the whole world!!

Stained glass of the Resurrection, and I love the face of the soldier on the left! Ha!

If you blow up the picture, the bottom says, "Blessed are they that have not seen and have believed."

Well, I think I gave y'all enough pictures to look at for the next 6 weeks. I hope all is going well! Morgan, I hope you're looking forward to 6 more weeks and that you're still happy at Dell. Maggie and Rachel, I'll be thinking of y'all as you go to your new rotations!! Love and miss y'all.
