The big building behind the smoke stack is the new University "Tech del Monterrey"
Thought it was a positive that it was visible from the casa.
The Tech is just at the next enterance up from the highway, but there may be a back way through town.

View from the of the back wall of the tennis court.
To be able to play tennis the court would need to be resurfaced. It has a few cracks and some water bulges that would make sports difficult.
