Monterrey’s outlying territories may a haven for the ecotourist, but most of the rest is decidedly urban sprawl. There city government is finally beginning to set aside some green spaces but this is the desert, so those spaces are not only few and far between but well protected. Do not walk signs are more common than the grass itself. The ITESM campus is an exception, though. Over the years it has designed itself to be a place apart from Monterrey, and generally speaking it has succeeded. Among the things you’ll wandering around on campus, in order of strangeness:
i) Ducks
ii) Geese
iii) Peacocks.
iv) Deer.
No, really. Deer. I was sitting in the library yesterday and I totally saw a deer walking around out the window. One assumes this is common place because I was the only one in the library excitedly asking his neighbors if
they saw it, too. Judging by the responses I got, one also assumes that this line of questions is a bit unusual. Still – deer!
