We started the day with Marcel puking on the bed, twice. Since we were going to be gone all day, the best we could do was strip the bed, hose the bedding off, and deal with it later. Luckily for me, Daniel handles the vomit because I have a weak stomach for that sort of thing.
We drove to Baylor Medical School in Houston for Daniel’s presentation to medical students in collaboration with Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. We were met by a very nice physician assistant student, Brenna. There were about 50 students present both in-person and via Zoom. We both felt invigorated following the presentation.

Since we got home so late last night and because Marcel threw up on the bed, we stayed at the camper today just relaxing and enjoying the nice, sunny day. We did a ton of laundry. Daniel received some very nice feedback from one of the 3rd year medical students who attended his presentation:
“Your presentation was fantastic! The message was clear and succinct. Your passion was invigorating, and your statistics were shocking. I think it left a lot for people to think about and consider going forward in their own lives and when treating patients in the future. I feel you were able to cover a breadth of information supporting lifestyle medicine in such a short time. I’m certain there is so much more that you could have talked about! I believe your lecture should be required to view for new members of the lifestyle medicine interest group across every medical school at the very least!”
Wow! We feel so fortunate to be able to share Daniel’s expertise on food as it relates to health. If you would like to watch the presentation, you can watch on Zoom here. The passcode is X*iN3*xe.

We went to Canyon Lake and Dam and walked across the dam. It was nice to see water in the lake.

We relaxed a lot today. I’ve been reading Neal Barnard’s The Power Foods Diet so I was glad to have time to devote to that.
A few days ago, while walking across the small dam at the campground, Peter fell in the river – a slimy corner of the river to be exact. We went straight back to the camper to hose him off but now he’s red and itchy. We think he might have swimmer’s itch. Poor buddy.
