Mayo Clinic





Jed is really enjoying the Mayo Clinic. It is a series of 6 -10 buildings including 2 hospitals, and the major clinic. And it is immaculate. Beautiful landscaping, art sculpture everywhere, a live pianist in the clinic. Underneath all of the buildings is the subway. But there is no train, just fancy tunnels with cute shops and fun things to look at. It really is amazing. Jed works on the 14th floor of the clinic building with a gorgeous view. He is working hard and really likes his 3 bosses. He is already working on 4 different research projects. I would try to tell you what they were, but they are over my head.
Anyway, security is really tight there. Hazen and I tried to go look around, but we could not go in. You have to be on the "List" of patients that are being seen that day. And every patient gets their picture taken and given a pass to go up to their appoitments. So here are some pictures of the outside of the Mayo Clinic. The two statues are the Mayo Brothers that founded the whole thing.
I did get to go into the clinic with Jed last week, and it was fun to just walk around. The Barnes and Noble store there is pretty much the coolest store I have ever seen.
