Class of 2008 Graduation Celebration

This week we took some time to celebrate the end of a long journey for our chiefs. I feel lucky to have had them as mentors this year. So, as much as we had fun all year, it could not have ended any other way but with a blast!
First, we went fishing. We left the marina at 8am and many were past their first couple of beers. I thought my Scopolamine patch would keep me free of sea sickness, but it didn't. I spent most of the boat ride sleeping my sickness away.

Later that night, Dr. Francheschi hosted an informal gathering at this home. We enjoyed paella that was prepared from scratch. It was wonderful!

On Saturday, the big party happened at the Collonades Hotel in Coral Gables. Everyone looked great in their best formal get-up. We enjoyed great food and drinks. The DJ could have been better... But, we danced nonetheless! We left at midnight, but I hear the party went on to much later...
