Leicester Trip Report and Pictures #3

Then we went to lunch at the nice staff restaurant at the top of the main university building.

 

 

 

The University backs up to a large town park and playing grounds, beautiful autumn afternoon

 

 

 

 

But you turn your gaze to the right and you see a rather interesting sight!, The big banner on the top says, "The Univ generates sufficient waste in 1 year to fill this tower block!!!", HOLY MOLY!!!

 

 

 

And here's my friend, Professor Bernardo Batiz-Lazo.

 

 

 

 

Then we went off to the lecture and spoke to some very smart students. Not surprising, check this university's credentials out!
