There are only two more days left after today for Mexico week on TravelJapanBlog.com, and I have so many more pictures to share. I suppose we’ll have to revisit Mexico at some later date on this blog.

Today’s photograph is of the main building for the University of Guanajuato. It is located near the center of town and can be easily reached on foot if you are in the main part of Guanajuato. With almost 30,000 students and nowhere to grow in the immediate neighborhood most classes are held in other buildings though. The building I taught in was about a 10 minute drive from the building pictured here.

If you have spent any time in Mexico the above building may look familiar even if you haven’t been to Guanajuato. Why? Because it is featured on Mexican currency.
