Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th - UNAM



Ready to start promoting, Steve, Roger and I decided to spend the next couple of days in UNAM. UNAM is the largest Spanish university in the world.
This university has its own highway circuit, its own inner university transport system which is free of charge for anyone doing any business at the university, a natural reserve, a stadium, a huge five story library and
over 150.000 students attending classes every day.
Remember me saying this city was big? Some students take three hours to get to class on public transit and three hours to go back home.

We met some amazing people at UNAM, but we only got one team out of our three-days of promotion on this huge campus. We planned this race for a long weekend (el Dia de los Muertos) or the Day of the Dead. As a result, there were numerous other university events already planned for the same weekend, and many potential rafters already had plans.
