Today, my parents and I went down to visit my sister, who treated us to some delicious Chinese food unlike any I have ever tasted before.

We also got a tour of her workplace, within a cluster of three plain buildings off a narrow road in south Miami-Dade County. Whatever money was saved on the outside of the buildings was definitely spent on the inside. There were rooms and rooms of high-tech lab equipment that each probably cost more than I've spent in my life thus far. I can't wait to see what the place looks like when they move into their permanent digs early next year.
