Fire Island

Last weekend Emily (one of the other students in the anesthesia program) and I went to visit one of the former anesthesia students (she switched to the Nurse Practitioner program at Columbia) Kim at her summer beach house on Fire Island. We woke up early Saturday and took the Long Island Railroad to Babylon where we got on a ferry to Ocean Beach. Kim is renting a room in a beach house on Fire Island for four weekends this summer. There wasn't room for us to stay overnight but we made the most of our day by arriving at the beach around 9am and then leaving on the ferry at 9pm right after sunset! The beach was beautiful, there were huge waves and soft sand and don't worry mom, I think I re-applied my 45 SPF sunscreen about 5 times to keep me pale skin from burning after 12 months of sitting in libraries and ORs every day :)
