Day 289. May 21, 2014. All is well

LOCATION: Rochester, MN in SE Minnesota 
WEATHER:  Gorgeous!  Sunny. Highs in 70s

Our night in the Walmart parking lot was quiet and peaceful.  This AM, I got up to go to the bathroom, and relized the store doesn't open until 7:00 AM.  Most Walmarts are 24/7.  So, we rushed around and drove to a nearby gas station,  (I know.....TMI!)

We drove on to Rochester.  Spring has really sprung here.  What a difference from Up North.  The trees and flowers are popping out.

We are in a super nice campground here.  It is about the nicest we have ever stayed in.  I think 100% of the campers are Mayo patients. They are staying in beautiful RVs.  They seem to go to the Clinic all day, and return in the evening.  Some appear to be long-term....they have hanging flower baskets, and flower pots on their tables.  We didn't know this place was here, when we lived in Rochester.  A shuttle is available to Mayo.  
The bathrooms in this campground are really nice.  (I'm sounding fixated today on this topic!).  There are 4 private bathrooms, each with sink, toilet and shower.  Everything is clean, updated, and tidy.  They have a nice laundry, too, which I happily used.

George had his Mayo appointment in the PM.   All went well.  It turns out that he diagnosed himself.  He realized he was having an anxiety attack, and that his blood pressure medicine was not working.  So he tried taking my medicine (which he had taken in the past), and that worked.  His blood pressure is back to normal, and he feels better.  

In the evening, we met up with Alexis and her boyfriend for a nice dinner.  The restaurant features "farm-to-table" foods. We had their chicken with morels.  Divine!  We hope we can find or buy morel mushrooms while we are here.
