At the Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico City



Can you believe this? Actually I am living at the Ciudad Universitaria (C.U). This is the principal campus of the Universidad Autónoma de México (UNAM) the biggest university in Latin America.
I have a great time here... and I am trying to learn some Spanish.


On this picture you see me at the Galería Autónoma, an art gallery created by university students. It is a self-governing project and wants to be a space were people can show and see art easily. There are no income fees and the 'artists' don't make pretensions to become famous. Lovely place.

Don't you think I am a piece of art myself on this pedestal?

Finalmente, noticias de Woody en México









Today, we finally received a letter from Woody in Mexico.
He is stayin' there with Sofia Acosta and he went to school with her for a while.
On the picture you see Woody in front of the Aula of the Faculty of Philosophy and Literature.

This is what they wrote:

Hola mis queridos padres y amigos,

lamento haber estado desaparecido por un tiempo, pero ciertamente he estado muy ocupado, pronto emprenderé mi viaje y continuare con mi vida de turista, honestamente lamento haberlos preocupado pero las chicas con las que estoy están muy ocupadas y pues me la paso en su escuela un rato pero pronto ellas encontraran a alguien de confianza con quien yo pueda continuar mi ruta viajera por lo pronto solo puedo mandarles unas fotos y mis humildes saludos y mejores deseos.

Spanish is not a common langue, here in Vlezenbeek, but we tried to translate their letter:

Hello my dear parents and friends,

I am sorry to have disappeared for a while, but I have been very busy. Soon I will continue my trip and my life of travellin’. I am really sorry to have worried you, but the girls with which I am, are very occupied and I have been in their school for a while. But soon they well find someone they can trust so I can continue my travellin’. So far, I can send you some photos and my greetings and best wishes.

Woody

Gracias mucho Sofia! Tome el cuidado de Woody y no espere demasiado largo para enviarnos más noticias.

In the next few days we will publish new pictures of Woody in Mexico. So, keep in touch!
