School starts today, so we went up to the Universidad Anahuac, which took us a bit more than an hour. The traffic was horrible, but the views of the city were quite amazing.
This is the sign at the entrance leading onto the campus of Universidad Anáhuac. This is a very exclusive school where many sons and daughters of successful business people and politicians attend school.
The group was met by Rosa Maria Gonzalez and Dra. Laura Itúrbide. Dra. Itúrbide is the director of the program.
First day of class and the students are awake and attentive. A full week of classes and visits are planned for the group.
The fountain between the eternal flame and the Center for Research.
The new chapel which has been completed within the past year.
A tour of the library and the rest of the campus was conducted by Rose Maria. The students are gathered around a model of the campus.
Another view.
There was an art show in the lobby of the Rectory. The title of the presentation was "El Grito" and this is one of the major pictures, which was about 2 meters by 1.5 meters. Huge, in other words.
The first lectures were given by Dra. , and economist at Anáhuac.
This is the Independence monument which is in the middle of the Avenida de la Reforma.
The Diana fountain, which we passed each day on the way to school.
This is Drtee in the lobby of the Hotel Intercontinental Presidente, where he went to have after dinner drinks with Santos Flores.
The jazz combo that entertained us as we drank. Three tequilas and cover charge was $33.00!
