UNAM - Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México

UNAM is a public university located in the south of Mexico City. It has 34 research institutes, 26 museums, and 18 historic sites. With more than 324,000 students, UNAM is one of the world's largest universities. Today I visited the campus in CDMX, which is famous for its architectural style following the Mexican Modernism. UNESCO calls it “plastic integration”, meaning: architecture, urban design, murals, sculpture, and landscape are conceived together rather than as separate layers. I spent some time readin in the central library and walked around with several human and doule as many dogs in the campus squares.
Dinner at Taqueria Califa:
I tried chelada or michelada, not sure which one was it. The concept is a glass with some lemon juice in it and flaky sea salt around its rim, then cold lager beer on top of the lemon juice. Works surpisingly well. Who would have thought?!
