Southwestern University

I went to see a film as part of the third annual Interdisciplinary Spanish Film Festival at Southwestern University this evening.  I got there a little early and went for a short walk around the Campus.  There was green grass, historic buildings, gray cloudy skies, stately oak trees, and plenty of squirrels zooming around.  In case you are wondering, the film was called “Siete cajas” and was a story about a 17 year old pushcart porter working the Mercado 4 in Asunción, the capital city of Paraguay.  The film is billed as a Paraguayan thriller film, and it delivers pretty well if you have the chance to see it someday.

St. Edward’s University – Main Building

On this cloudy, overcast day, I took a walk around St. Edward’s University.  The campus is on a hill overlooking Austin and has some scenic views of downtown along with some very lovely fields of Bluebonnets.  The Main Building was constructed in 1888 on the highest elevation point on campus, and it makes for some nice photos from any vantage point around campus.
