A night at Bay House!

On Friday night my friends and I decided we deserved a much needed break/reward for passing all our exams!  So, a lovely evening at Bay House at Dickenson's Bay was arranged.  Words couldn't explain how beautiful and how much fun my friends and I had while celebrating!  Plus it was an amazing excuse for my girlfriends and I to dress up and to look " all cute and sexy" as one of our Utopia guy friends said!  HaHa got to love the flattery!!!  Although it was dark the restaurant was beautiful and so was the view.  Bay House Restaurant is located on a massive hill overlooking Dickenson's Bay ( most people know it as the beach at Sandals Resort).  Below is a pic that a friend took when he went for brunch at Bay House at the beginning of the semester.  Very neat see......Look close Mom and Dad!

 The appetizers and main dishes that were ordered were delicious!  I know now where I want to take Mom and Dad when they visit me in October.  It may have been the most expensive meal I have ever had but, it was probably the most fun.  I had an amazing pumpkin soup, mango smoothie, and a cheese burger.   It was a quite evening there at Bay House and it even rained while we talked on the patio.  Pretty bad ass and beautiful if you ask me!!!  I cant wait to do it again in a few weeks.  In a few days I will post some pictures that  friend took of our evening out on the town!  In the mean time I will show you pictures from their facebook page.








After we got back from Bay House we spent some time at other Utopians apartment's celebrating the end of the week and the completion of mini 1.  I just feel fortunate to have an amazing group of friends and people to share my med school experience with.  It is really neat to get to know people from all over the world that have been brought together for one man cause - to become physicians!  To be honest all I seem to think about lately is how all of us have come from different states, countries, and socioeconomic backgrounds yet we all get along well, and strangely have a close bond.  Having as many friends as I do here in Antigua is something that I don't take lightly, nor for granted.  I appreciate the sense of feeling protected and cared about that comes with having such an amazing group.  It is also neat on evenings such as the one at Bay House, when you get to reflect on things that we all have done together and all the things that we all wish to do.  These future plans can be something fun like, wanting to go hiking on the island, snorkeling or something as serious as classes or residencies........makes life seem pretty surreal for this small town farm girl that never thought her dream of going to medical school would ever come true.....nothing short of amazing as far as I am concerned. I just hope that I can make it through and make my family proud.  That is all that I want at this point in my small life.  This path may be rough, tough, and grueling but it is also beautiful and a privilege.
