Our last full day in Austin, today was spent both downtown and at the University of Texas. We had lunch at a nice little taqueria before heading over to the UT to speak to students in the Latin American Studies Department. Renowned Central American author Arturo Arias, an old friend of Carlos', hosted the event.
Carlos spoke to an exceptionally engaged group of 45 students, who in turn had a number of intriguing questions. The entire event lasted over an hour and a half... a special thanks to the students for staying late!
After the event Professor Arias invited friends, colleagues, and our caravan to his house for a party. We enjoyed the chance to relax and take time to have fun with friends.
