More of Mayo

I thought I'd continue with the

Mayo  Clinic theme until I got

through all the pictures I felt were

worth sharing. So here's more from

the city of Rochester and specifically

of Mayo Clinic.

This shows one of the buildings reflected

in a beautiful granite wall.

Being only a teenager, my son was

a bit embarrassed by all the statues

of naked bodies found on the Mayo campus.

Out for a walk one evening,

he was ahead of my husband

and myself and spotted yet again

another naked statue.

"Children," he joked,

as if on a school tour,

"avert your eyes." 

I loved this statue from this side,

although my son was horrified

when we came across it from the other end.

Remember: the person is naked.

This is one of those statues that just

might be better if the boy had on 

some clothing.

But it's a medical facility, they

deal with the human body, and 

Mayo certainly likes to share

the entire body with their visitors.

"Children, avert your eyes."

Very interesting glass in the main medical building.

The Mayo brothers founded the clinic.

Thankfully someone chose to portray

them fully clothed!
