Mexican College Football It's On!!

This is the logo at midfield of the Gaspar Mass Stadium.

This is where the University of Nuevo Leon Tigers (Tigres UANL) play their home games.

This is one of the most succesful public school programs in Mexico.



Este es el logo en el centro del campo del Estadio Gaspar Mass.

Aquí  es donde juegan los Tigres de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (Tigres UANL) juega sus partidos de local.

Este es uno de los equipos más exitosos entre las universidades públicas de México.

The Other Face

Yesterday I introduced you to this sculpture, which is located in the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon's (UANL) main campus.

The real reason to do so was that I wanted to show you today's photo. It the same sculpture, only from a different angle so you can see other of the faces... and also its new look by being painted in yellow, which I think makes it stand out even more.



Ayer les presenté esta escultura, que está ubicada en el campus principal de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL).

La verdadera razón de ponerla era porque quería mostrarles la foto del día de hoy. Es la misma escultura, sólo que desde un ángulo diferente para que pudieran ver otra de sus caras... y también su nueva imagen al estar pintada de amarillo, que creo hace que sobresalga aún más.

Tech Support

This is a sculpture in the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon's (UANL) main campus. Is located right beside the Information Technology school and pretty close this building that I posted a few weeks ago.

It has 4 sides each featuring the same face, in this photo you are looking at two of them. If you look it from the top its like an plus sign. I'm not sure what it represents, communication maybe? what do you think?


Esta es una escultura en el campus principal de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL). Está justo a un lado de la facultad de Informática y muy cerca de este otro edificio que publiqué hace algunas semanas.

Tiene 4 lados cada uno con la misma cara, en esta foto pueden ver 2 de ellos. Si la ven desde arriba es como un signo de suma. No estoy seguro que representa, ¿talvez comunicación? ¿Qué opinan?

Philosophy Major

The UANL (University of Nuevo Leon) is a public college that also happens to be the biggest in the State, with around 115,000 active students in all.

Each major has its own school inside the UANL's big campus, each one with its own sub-identity. Every student or alumni is known as a Tiger, but the sub-identities are as varied as the majors offered.

Here is the mascot from the School of Philosophy, the unicorn.

In future posts I'll show you some others mascots.

La Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León  (UANL) es una universidad pública que también es la más grande del Estado, con alrededor de 115,000 estudiantes en total.

Cada carrera tiene su propia escuela dentro del gran campus de la UANL, y cada una con su propia sub-identidad. Cada estudiante o ex-estudiante es conocido como un Tigre, pero las sub-identidades son tan variadas como la oferta de carreras.

Esta es la mascota de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, el unicornio.

En futuras entradas les iré poniendo algunos otros.

World Junior Swimming Championship - Series 1.1

A couple of weeks ago, Monterrey hosted the 2nd FINA World Junior Swimming Championships, which basically is the biggest competition for the age bracket of the swimmers that should be somewhere around 17-18 and under.

There were a few competitors that will even participate in this years Olympic Games in Beijing, so it was a good show.

Over the next few days, I'll post some of the photos from the event.

This is the building where the competition took place. It's part of the University of Nuevo Leon (UANL) .


Hace un par de semanas, Monterrey fue sede de los 2os. Campeonatos Mundiales Juveniles de la FINA, que es la mayor competencia para los competidores en la edad, que debe ser de 17 o 18 y menores.

Hubo algunos participantes que incluso van a estar en los Juegos Olímpicos de Beijing, así que había buen nivel.

En los siguientes días les pondré algunas fotos del evento.

Este es el edificio donde fue la competencia. Es parte de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL).

Alfonsine Chapel

This is a library from the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon (UANL).

According to their website, it's called “Chapel” for being a sanctuary for culture, literature and knowledge.

The other part of the name, “Alfonsine”, its dedicated to Alfonso Reyes who is one of the most outstanding Regios (that's the name given to people born in Monterrey) in history and whose personal library is inside the building.


Esta es una biblioteca de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL).

De acuerdo a su página, se le llama “Capilla” por ser un santuario para la cultura, literatura y el conocimiento.

La otra parte del nombre, “Alfonsina”, está dedicada a Alfonso Reyes que es uno de los Regios (así se le llama a los nacidos en Monterrey) más destacados de la historia y cuya biblioteca personal se encuentra dentro del edificio.

New Metro Station

This is one of the newest Metro Stations in the City, right beside the Nuevo Leon's Autonomous University (UANL - Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon) the State University. 

They all have this wavy kind of style and had been cause of protests since the City Council decided to make this Metro line over the streets reducing the space to drive. Also it took a couple of years to complete in which the streets were almost closed entirely.

Esta es una de las nuevas estaciones de Metro en la Ciudad, justo al lado de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL), la Universidad Estatal.

Todas las estaciones nuevas tienen este estilo ondulado y han causado protestas debido a que la Ciudad decidió hacer esta línea de Metro sobre la calle, reduciendo el espacio para manejar. También estuvo en construcción durante casi 2 años en los que la calle estuvo cerrada casi por completo.

Theme Day: Graffiti or street mural

Since this blog just went live yesterday, it was a little bit late to be an “official” participant of the Daily Photo Community Theme Day. Anyway, here is what would be my photo for March's Theme.  

It's the mural located just below the front entrance to the Chemestry Science School from the UANL (Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon), which is a public school and  the biggest college in the State with some 115,000 students.

Debido a que este blog empezó apenas ayer, ya era tarde para ser un participante “oficial” del Tema del Día de la Comunidad la Foto del Día. De cualquier manera, esta hubiera sido mi foto para el tema de Marzo.

Es el mural que está justo en la entrada principal de la Facultad de Ciencias Químicas de la UANL (Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León), la cual es una escuela pública y la más grande del Estado con alrededor de 115,000 estudiantes.
