This post is out of order, chronologically, as I visited Houston before I went to Detroit. The dates are hazy, and I am too lazy to look them up. It was a sweet trip. I visited with family in the morning, and we had a long and amazing lunch at a South American joint, the name of which escapes me. Not that I really ever tried to commit it to memory. Following lunch, I got a nice tour of the medical center Mecca. This was truly something to behold. It may have literally been a mile of road, on either side of which were hospitals. I've not seen anything quite like it, and the 'medical mile' (so dubbed by this guy) is home to two Level 1 Trauma centers.
Later that afternoon, I got together with two friends from NSU: Nick Denbesten and Desiree Gallagher. We met at a local brewpub, had a few beers, and talked shop. Des extended an invitation earlier that week to put me up at her pad, which was much appreciated. Being a graduate student does not pay as much as people think.
Got up the next morning for the interview at Baylor. Above is a snap of the sunrise reflecting off the buildings of downtown Houston. The interview went as well as I wanted it to (always nice) and then it was immediately off to the airport, to head to the Motor City.
