L'viv - Part Seven - A Walk in the Medical University Part of Town

Mel and I went for a walk this afternoon after lunch.

I have a cold, one which Mel says he shared with me. So kind of him to do so! I'm about, according to him, four days behind him. This morning I woke up feeling yucky, so we didn't leave the flat here until time for lunch. We bought some sandwiches, and then bought some water, diet coke and deoderant at a little 'producty' and some batteries for my camera at a mobile phone store a bit farther down the street. Because I am coughing a bit and have the other not-so-fun symptoms of a headcold, we then began to slowly retrace our steps from a couple nights ago. We got to one area and decided to go off in a different direction, farther away from our flat.

We ended up in the medical university and institute section of L'viv, or so it seemed. This building was pure white, which doesn't show to well in this photo. I thought it was quite pretty. It is a university of veterinary and biological and something else studies. Here is the top of one side of it, followed by the front top and then a photo of the street in front of it.

Should we have been surprised to see this woman walking down the street? Click on the photo and you can see better who she is carrying. :):)

As we walked along the street, my eyes were drawn to and pleased by both the fence in the first photo and the almost hidden side road in the second photo. I wanted to go exploring even further...

Each of the buildings in this complex had different names of medical studies written in Latin just below the roof line. The statue is in honor of medical personnel killed in WWII.

This last photo from the "medical studies district" (my own name for the area) is of the front of the Pharmacy building. The mural represents the mythic story from which the symbol of the cup and snake come. We in the West have Moses' rod and snake as the medical symbol, here it is this snake taking a drink out of the cup. I was told once that our symbol is a lot nicer or better. This one sure is colorful!
