Yesterday we were going to the Botanic Garden on the UNAM (Universidad Nacional Autonima de Mexico). My friend, born and bred in the city, had never been there, so I was excited to share the garden with her and her young niece. Daughter Mariann was going to get more shots for her photography project. Arriving on the campus we found all the streets closed. We drove over to another area and found a security booth who confirmed that the campus was closed for a week, but that we could get to the science museum housed on the campus, Universum. This unexpected destination had us feeling giggly and ready for an adventure. The three oldest of us had not been there since our kids were very young and my friend's niece had never been there which made it even more exciting. It meant we could share it with a young person again. The first thing to catch our eye was a huge room-size map of the city. It had educational purposes, one could push buttons to see what the seismic areas of the city are, but we, of course, set about trying to find where our particular streets were located on the map. It was irresitible.
