And they're off.
My Mom & Dad arrived at the Mayo Clinic on Sunday. 'IT'S COLD IN ROCHESTER' read the subject line of the first email from them. Some other town in Minnesota apparently reported temperatures of 54 below zero. 'Brrr' would be just the beginning of the understatement.
Apparently the whole town of 89,000 is built entirely around the Mayo Clinic. The whole downtown is connected by skywalks and underground tunnels to the clinic. Every hotel/motel makes some mention of the M.C. on their signboards. It sounds to me like the Disneyland of Life-Threatening Illnesses, a comment which was almost enough to make my Mom laugh.
A whole lot of emotions hanging in the balance right now. Fingers and toes crossed accordingly.
