A quiet lobby
Despite the foot of snow in Minneapolis yesterday morning, I got out of MSP and flew safely into Lafayette. The weather is much nicer here than up there! (And the people remind me of it nearly every hour!)
Today was my first day at work and I returned to the Lafayette PHU under very different circumstances than when here last October. I walked into the lobby where 50-60 people had awaited primary care services after the hurricanes...there was no one today. It was a very quiet lobby indeed.
I was once again greeted by friendly folks, the real heros of public health. I delved into the 'STD clinic' in the morning and immunization clinic in the afternoon. I even got the chance to play nursing instructor to 6 UL nursing students when shooting up multiple babies with numerous shots!
I retired to New Iberia after my first full day of work. My host is Carol Broussard and I've enjoyed hanging in New Iberia. We finished the evening over at her mom's place were I was filled with much authentic 'Puerto Rican Cajun' food. (That's an inside joke!) I am concerned that I will return to Mpls much chunkier than when I left!

Looks like you are working hard, Scott. At least try to make it seem like you miss snowy MN. After all, we are supposed to get another 6 inches tonight. No really, enjoy yourself in the "tropics".
Looks nice and warm. Only complaint is...why are you drinking Coors? Isn't there some other indigenous beer you could be drinking. Your little brother.
