The EX showed me around Birmingham, AL.
He aimed at my love of scenery and photography: He took me to the Vulcan. Below the Vulcan. He has no underwear on.
Then we had desert over looking the city. I was enjoying a tres leches with this view:
He aimed at my love of fine food and wine:We had a lovely dinner at Highlands Bar & grill which is not only the best in AL it is ranked one the top 30 (or 40) in the US and just made Esquire magazine's "Best bars in America" list in their February issue. I recommend it if you are looking for great foie gras and rabbit 2 ways. I paired the rabbit with the house Rose and it was phenomenal.
He aimed at my need for independence: I met with one of my friends from my Georgetown days whom is doing her Ph.D in cancer biology at UAB. It was SO AWESOME to see her!!! I really missed her.
Lastly, he aimed at my geekdom: He got one of his friends (who is a medical student) to give me a tour of the UAB hospital which was SO NICE! It serves 2/3rds of AL with Trauma hawk and trauma planes. It looked very comfy and the layout was great. I thought the Childrens hospital looked especially comfortable and I am not sure I want to do Pediatrics but I want to do a pediatrics rotation there. However one thing I do know about them, is the Surgical Oncology reputation they have!! Hmmmmm
So overall I had a great time and I didn't feel like I was in the wrong place...in my 48 hours there. I'm still skeptical. I was the only one you could hear click clacking (heels) through the hospital. Which is the norm at my home base in the Northeast. But when I do rotations in cosmopolitan places like south Florida, I'm just one of these girls
Overall,
He shoots, he scores! I had a good time. We survived each other ha! No really we survived. We are on the road to renewing our friendship after the two year hiatus...or at least surviving :)
