Rule #1: If it doesn't come in a sealed bottle, do not drink it in Mexico

Hi Y'all!  Been really busy getting a sun burn and all.  Had a wonderful vacation down in the Mexican Riviera.  Wonderful staff aboard the Carnival Splendor made the trip so much more enjoying for us.  Definitely addicted to cruising now.  Guess I will be seeing lots of cruise ships where I'll be going.  Didn't end up attending the Western Veterinary Conference as some personal things came up that would have meant I wouldn't have been able to go on my cruise the week afterward.  So... vacation cruise or conference in vegas.  Not really a tough choice.
Took an off road mini jeep to the beach in Cabo San Lucas

Got out and took some pictures once we got to the beach

Starred in our very own Corona beer commercial


One of the 7 different towel animals left for us on our bed each evening.



Just started my internship at Banfield this past week and I must say, what an eye opening experience.  It is definitely not the practice of veterinary medicine that I'm used to.  Much more professional and, well, medical.  A complete 180 from where I have spent the past five years of my life working.  Not that that wasn't an amazing experience, it was just different.  I'm very happy that I have had the chance to see extreme differences of how veterinary medicine can be practiced ethically and humanely.  To any vet students that are reading this and have the opportunity to work in Banfield's summer job program, I would recommend definitely taking it.  There are some negative rumors about the Banfield practice out there; but I must say, one of them is definitely not their caring, healing attitude and focus towards the care and welfare of animals.

Only 45 days left!  Hoping to have more updates as we get closer.
