Ciudad Universitaria

This morning we had a lecture and analysis of a few readings.  Around noon we toured of the university's library - last week mostof the facilities were closed.  Then, four of us and Licenciado Pedraza took the metro and a bus and went to UNAM (Universidad Autonoma de Mexico) - Wow! I believe the university has over 400,000 students, one of the largest one's in the world.  Tuition is about $25.00 (pesos) a semester!  It's huge!  However what's amazing about the university is the murals on some of their buildings.  Enjoy!

Library - Juan O'Gorman's mural.  This mural was made with color stones (not tiles) from different zones of Mexico.
