UCLA. The L.A, Campus.(I) Πανεπιστήμιο της Καλιφόρνιας UCLA. (Ι)

 I spent a couple of hours walking around the campus of UCLA near Los Angeles. It is one of the things I wish we had in Greece. I admired the beautiful buildings, the beautiful landscape and the cleanliness of the place. And the young students who are lucky to be studying there.
Έκανα μια βόλτα ανάμεσα στα κτίρια του Πανεπιστημίου της Καλιφόρνιας (UCLA), κοντά στο Λος Άντζελες. Τι να πρωτοθαυμάσει κανείς εδώ; Τα όμορφα παλιά κτίρια, την ομορφιά του τοπίου, την καθαριότητα των χώρων ή την γαλήνη που κυριαρχεί; Είναι αδύνατον να μην κάμει κανείς συγκρίσεις με τα δικά μας ανάλογα ιδρύματα και να μην ζηλέψει.
 Unfortunately the day of our visit the Museum was closed to visitors. Δυστυχώς τη μέρα της επίσκεψής μας, το Μουσείο ήταν κλειστό.
The name of a Greek donor among the others. Το όνομα ενός Έλληνα δωρητή μεταξύ των άλλων.

It is a beautiful university, isn't it? I'm so glad you had a chance to visit there and that you were impressed! You've shown us a lot that we have to be thankful for through the eyes of a visitor! Thank you, as always, Costas, for your wonderful post and beautiful photos! Have a wonderful day!

Warm and inviting. I loved university life. This brings back good memories, Costas! (and don't forget, there'd be no universitites if it weren't for the Greeks) Hugs.

Την καλημέρα μου

Great photos of a great school! One of my daughters graduated from there last year. It's a beautiful place (but very expensive).
