Yet again I got lost...

Yesterday my brother told me to meet him in a metro station at 4:45, he wanted to take me to a mall and visit a place called "Rent a center", or something like that so we checked prices on how much would renting furniture would cost us, so we don't buy anything.

Well, here in Monterrey are to metro lines, one that goes up and a subterranean one, the second one is the one that is near the university, and that was the one I was supposed to take, well, two stations after the university.

He told me that I could either take a bus, then walk through the university and take the metro to the station he told me, or I could walk there from home or from the university. Either way, it would take me almost the same time to get there... well, it would be a little more walking, but not by much.

Supposedly, if I took the most direct route from my house it would have taken me like 45 minutes walking (according to google maps), so I checked my route, tried to memorize the street names, where I should have turned, how much should I have walked, etc.

Since the station that I was supposed to take is subterranean I wasn't able to see it like the other one, and so I took a wrong turn and ended walking all the way back to the university, but it was cool, I got to know some places like the baseball stadium, a sports training center and other parts of the university that I had not visited.

I ended walking like one and a half hours in the end, but it was worth it, I really liked the places I saw.

I leave here a map of my route, the purple one is the one I should have taken, and the green is the one I took, and before asking why didn't I just walked from my house to the university if it looks so close, lets just say that I need to walk under a high speed bridge, and even if many people do it, it isn't safe, it's an unnecessary risk, I could have taken a bus from my house to the university, but I wanted to walk today since it was cloudy XD
