Photo Collage of "Comparative Latin American Mining Law" Course

The short course, "Comparative Latin American Mining Law," has received a great deal of attention from the students in the course, other students at DU who were not able to take the course this time, as well as others outside the DU law school. I blogged about the course on the third and fifth days of the five day course, which was held Aug. 3-7.

To give you some idea of the engaging approach encouraged by Florencia Heredia and Luis Carlos Rodrigo, our adjunct professors from respectively Buenos Aires, Argentina and Lima, Peru, I've assembled a photo collage about the week. Click here to share some of the "flavor" of the course.

Meanwhile, here are just two pictures from the wonderful home cities of Ms. Heredia and Mr. Rodrigo. The top photo was taken in Buenos Aires in mid June 2008. The bottom photo was taken in late June 2008, looking south along the Pacific coastline of Lima. Both cities are among the world's most beautiful and interesting. You definitely should visit both. (And as a footnote, I did not even scratch the surface of everything these two great countries have to offer in terms of geography, culture, and history.) For those in the northern hemisphere it is worth remembering that June is "equivalent" weather-wise to what we experience in December.

On my trip to Latin America in June 2008 (when I first met Ms. Heredia and Mr. Rodrigo) the weather was a mix of sun and clouds/fog. It was not always sunny in Buenos Aires (as the picture might suggest) nor was it always cloudy in Lima.

Wonderful countries, friendly and perceptive people, two fascinating parts of the world to be sure.
