Hola Carlos! Muchas gracias por tu mensaje. Me alegra que disfrutes de mis videos. Guatemala es un país hermoso y estoy emocionada de poder explorarlo con mi esposo, gato y perro. ¡Espero que puedas seguir disfrutando de nuestras aventuras!
I have to comment again and compliment you again on how natural you are talking to the camera and eye contact with the camera. It make you (me) feel like you really are talking to me. 👏🏻👏🏻🥰
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it. It's important to me to connect with my viewers and make them feel like they're right there with us on our adventures. Eye contact with the camera is definitely something I practice to help achieve that. I'm so glad to hear that it's working and you feel like we're having a conversation. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel! 😊🌎🚐🐱🐶
Thank you so much! It was such a unique experience for us to explore the grocery stores in Brazil and learn about the local produce and food. And the hydroelectric dam was truly impressive! We're glad you enjoyed the video and hope you continue to follow along with our adventures. Have a great day!
VANDERSONS! Hey!...here ya go Danny (in Axl Rose voice...butchering Welcome to the Jungle) "You know where you are! You're in the special ketchup aisle baby! You dip your friiieeeessss!" 🤘🍟🤘 During our 6yr Island hopping life the whole grocery store thing was SUPER rare. It was also REALLY expensive because everything was imported to 'whatever' island. So, we had to focus on the little local roadside or beach pop-up shops, a smattering of some very rare stores (same as your - this store sells one thing, this one sells the other and go to this one for that - experience). Outside of the Bahamas, PR, USVI and DR - which would have been very early on - we no longer saw those stores. If we were working for a big time resort and not an individual owner...welp...swipe booze and sh!t from the resort to save money and get needed supplies! Good times! I dig the damn dam. I live on a lake, well actually not on the lake but on the shoreline, that is similar. It was built to dam a river (Osage) for power in 1929. Though nothing in comparison to that damn dam, the lake it created is about 100 miles from top to bottom. I live at the 73MM (mile marker). The dam is Bagnell, the lake is Lake of the Ozarks. *Doc's DeLorean needed 1.2 Gigawatts of power to travel through time and get Marty McFly Back to the FUTURE! Graham and SOMBRITA! The thing for me would have to be changing up their food based on what you can get wherever you may be. "Who farted!?!?! SOMBRITA!!!" 'Not me...Graham!' It looked like a decent park to ride. A bit chunky. That reminds me - the age thing and get hurt. Yup. I can sum up the past 5 1/2 months of my world in one pic. I'll drop PM on the Insta. Cool stuff! Keep up the great work! Always my best to the four of you! CHEERS! 🥓🍺
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your island hopping grocery store adventures with us. It's amazing how much we take for granted when it comes to having access to a variety of stores and products. And yes, changing up the pets' food can be a challenge but we always try to make sure they get the good stuff. The dam was definitely a sight to see and we loved learning about its history. And speaking of history, we're huge Back to the Future fans! Doc Brown's DeLorean is definitely a classic, but would barely fit a bed :P We're glad you enjoyed the skatepark, it was wet but we love a challenge. And we totally agree, age is just a number but injuries can happen to anyone. We'll keep an eye out for your PM on Insta. Thanks for your support and cheers to you too! 🌱🐾🚐

Hydroelectric power can definitely be a bit complex, but it's so fascinating to learn about how it works and the impact it has on the environment. We appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment! ❤️
I liked getting to do the shopping with you. It was kind of like I was there being normal with you guys. People need to see that stuff, too and I thank you for sharing. That dam was so cool! I don't think I would like stealth camping though. I would worry all night. But then, I'm old. hahaha Another great vid, you two!
Thank you so much for your comment! We're glad you enjoyed coming along with us on our shopping trip. We love sharing our adventures with our viewers and giving them a glimpse into our daily life on the road. The dam was definitely a highlight of our trip, and we're happy to hear you thought it was cool too! As for stealth camping, we totally understand that it's not for everyone. It can be nerve-wracking at times, but we always make sure to choose safe and secluded spots. Thanks again for your support and kind words!
Thank you so much! We try our best to be efficient with our space and plan out our meals, but sometimes it can be a challenge. It's all part of the adventure though! :)
The second waterfall and most touristic park in Brazil is in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state. The region of this park attracts millions of tourists every year. The city of Gramado, in this region, is the third most touristic city in Brazil. A well-developed region, the region is of German and Italian colonization. The Italian region (city of Bento Gonçalves) is the largest producer of wines and sparkling wines in Brazil. In the same region there is a set of canyons (city of Cambará do Sul). The largest in Latin America, where South America separated from Africa. It is a very beautiful and special region, it has a fantastic energy. May you have a good trip through my country.
Thank you so much for sharing this information about the beautiful state of Rio Grande do Sul! It sounds like an amazing place to visit and explore. We love experiencing new cultures and learning about the history of the places we visit, so we will definitely make sure to add this region to our itinerary. And as vegans, we're always excited to discover new foods and flavors, so we'll have to try some of the local wine and sparkling wine from Bento Gonçalves. Thank you again for sharing this with us, and we can't wait to experience the fantastic energy of this special region!
@@the.vandersons You are welcome. This state has a culture similar to that of Argentina. The gaucho culture, where barbecue is the main course, and everyone here drinks mate. The city of Gramado is the second most visited by tourists from all over Brazil. It is a city with many entertainment options, nature, parks and many different cuisines. Mostly German and Italian. It is a city in the mountains, where it is normal to snow in winter. And its architecture is very charming, the place is beautiful. All these places I mentioned are very close to each other. Hugs and welcome.
@Anna Becker Hi Anna! Thank you so much for sharing this information about Gramado and the culture of the state. It sounds like such a unique and beautiful place to visit. I love learning about different cultures and trying new cuisines, so I can't wait to explore that! And how exciting that it snows there in the winter. Thanks again for your warm welcome and for sharing your knowledge with us. Hugs back to you!

So nice to see your happiness talking about the hydroeletric Dam Itaipu. I went there some years ago and I did the tour inside the dam, I was hoping during this video that you also went inside it, since you like these technical stuff. It is amazing to see how huge it is inside, how huge it is the engines and how strong those walls are when you are inside and hear the force of water. Itaipu dam used to be the biggest one before China opened the Three Gorges Dam. Also, usually we have a lamen/noddles of the brand Nissin themed with "Turma da Mônica (Mônica's Gang) comic" with Tomato flavor, there are beans flavor too. And farofa is a national brazilian food, you will see it everywhere, and for me it is interesting how farofa is something new for foreigners.
Thank you for sharing your experience at the Itaipu Dam. Going inside the dam sounds like an incredible experience! I love learning about the technical aspects of things and experiencing the power of nature. I remember seeing the Turma da Mônica noodles in the grocery store and thinking they were so cute and unique! We didn't get a chance to try them out, but now I'm curious about the tomato flavor. And yes, we've started to love farofa during our travels in Brazil! It's been fun trying new foods and learning about the different culinary traditions in Brazil. Are there any specialties that you would recommend? 🍴🌮🍲
Hi Kay! Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, we are having an amazing time exploring South America in our van with Graham and Sombrita. It's so fulfilling to be able to connect with people like you through our videos and share our adventures. Hope you're having a great day! 🌞

Wow, those are some amazing places to explore in Brazil! I love the diversity of culture and natural beauty in South America. Have you been to any of these places? If so, what were some of your favorite experiences there? I would love to hear more about your travels!
I don´t think most people realize the challenge of shopping in an unfamiliar language. When we first moved to Mexico, my husband would get so mad at me for taking so long to shop. The gringo isles are definitely to be avoided$$$$$! Haha
I completely understand how you feel! Shopping in an unfamiliar language can definitely be a challenge, but it's also a great opportunity to learn new words and phrases. And I totally agree, those gringo isles can be quite expensive! Have you tried going to local markets or small shops? They often have great deals and it's a fun way to experience the local culture. Happy shopping!
Going grocery shopping in another country is the BEST! Especially when things are cheaper than you are used to (that’s pretty much every where than chinada these days 😢 Carbon tax/borrowing/ppl won’t work = massive inflation = killing cdns = Argentina Venezuela Cuba ). Thank you for the tour! Brazil continues to look amazing. That dam is phenomenal! 🎉. ❤❤
I completely agree with you! Grocery shopping in a new country is always an exciting experience, especially when you find great deals on things you love. I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing in Canada, but I'm glad our videos are bringing you some joy and inspiration. Brazil is truly a stunning country with so much to explore and we're grateful to be able to share our adventures with you. And that dam really was something else - we were in awe of its size and power. Thanks for watching and sending love your way! ❤️❤️
@C M Thank you so much for your kind words, C M! We absolutely love having you join us on our adventures, and we're so glad you enjoy spending time with our fur family. Sending lots of love and positivity your way! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brazil is so big that I think a trip route around it must be well planned, to visit at least the most famous unique places of all 5 regions, placing the not so famous but very recommended places in between. If personally suggest a route along the coastline of Brasil, starting from Rio Grande do Sul (with places like cassino beach, the longest beach in the world), and go north all the way until Maranhão (home of Lençóis Maranhenses National Park), leaving the coast sometimes to visit some cool places. After doing the coastline, from Belém city you can choose to take a boat/plane to visit the Amazon river destinations (like Manaus, Santarém) and after that go south through Brazil's middlelands, to visit the Pantanal region, that's another wildlife sanctuary. Sorry for the very long comment, its not easy to resume a Brazil trip in short terms 😂. I wish you two have a amazing experience, whichever route you choose!
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful comment! We completely agree that a trip around Brazil requires careful planning, especially if you want to see all the unique and beautiful places it has to offer. We love the idea of following the coastline and stopping at the not-so-famous but highly recommended places along the way. And visiting the Amazon river destinations and Pantanal region are definitely on our list one day as well! We can't wait to experience all the wonders Brazil has to offer and we'll be sure to share our journey with our followers. Thanks again for your comment and happy travels!
@@the.vandersons Another usefull tip is to be aware of Brazil's problem with criminal activity, especially around big capital cities. Always avoid stealth camping near big cities if you can, and if you do, do it in places like truckstops, with some movement. Most big cities have very cheap parking lots arount the airport (not the airport parking lot, the other ones). Some of then will let you park and stay on the van. But for sure the best option are the paid camping areas. It's not like someone will rob your tires every time you park the van away from police, but some places are worse than others (Rio...), but it's always better to be safe than sorry. Local people usually knows were is dangerous to stay and will share this information. Thanks for replying! I hope you two have the best experience.
@DIAS Thanks for the helpful tip, Dias! We definitely prioritize safety while on our adventures, especially with our furry companions. We'll keep your advice in mind and do our best to stay in safe areas. We appreciate your support and well wishes! Happy travels! :)
really random but if you are looking for veggie ramen next time you are at the store they usually have a 'tomato' or 'bean' flavor in some of the brands! it would be 'tomate' or 'fejão' flavor, i personally like the tomato one more but both are good
Absolutely! The Itaipu Dam is an engineering marvel and the fact that the powerhouse is built inside the dam is a testament to the ingenuity of its creators. It's amazing to see how human innovation can work with nature to create something so incredible.
@Joseph Piskac Hey Joseph! Thanks for taking the time to comment on our channel. That's a great idea! We love learning about new things and engineering marvels definitely interest us. We'll definitely consider it for future videos. Thanks for the suggestion!
Totally off-topic but I have to share this with you because it’s so dang funny to me. I was watching the first part of this video and I’m thinking is it because she’s tired or is there something wrong with her? She’s talking so slow and looks like she’s not OK what’s going on? And then I remembered I had slowed down the video speed because I’m trying to learn how to crochet and I’m watching these how-to videos.😅😅😅 I was starting to get really concerned about you😂
Haha, that's hilarious! I'm glad you realized what was going on before you got too worried. And good luck with your crochet adventures! It's always fun to learn new skills. 😊
@Catherine Romero Hi Catherine! It's so great to see your comment here. Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos and leave such a sweet message.

Another usefull tip is to be aware of Brazil's problem with criminal activity, especially around big capital cities. Always avoid stealth camping near big cities if you can, and if you do, do it in places like truckstops, with some movement.
Most big cities have very cheap parking lots arount the airport (not the airport parking lot, the other ones). Some of then will let you park and stay on the van. But for sure the best option are the paid camping areas.
It's not like someone will rob your tires every time you park the van away from police, but some places are worse than others (Rio...), but it's always better to be safe than sorry. Local people usually knows were is dangerous to stay and will share this information.

really random but if you are looking for veggie ramen next time you are at the store they usually have a 'tomato' or 'bean' flavor in some of the brands! it would be 'tomate' or 'fejão' flavor, i personally like the tomato one more but both are good
Yes the dam is fantastic. I think it was revolutionary that the powerhouse is constructed inside the dam?
Absolutely! The Itaipu Dam is an engineering marvel and the fact that the powerhouse is built inside the dam is a testament to the ingenuity of its creators. It's amazing to see how human innovation can work with nature to create something so incredible.
@@the.vandersons Maybe you should package a channel presenting engineering marvels?
@Joseph Piskac Hey Joseph! Thanks for taking the time to comment on our channel. That's a great idea! We love learning about new things and engineering marvels definitely interest us. We'll definitely consider it for future videos. Thanks for the suggestion!
Ethanol in MN is made from corn.
Interesting! Here they use sugar cane to produce ethanol and it's supposedly more efficient but requires a different climate for sure!
Totally off-topic but I have to share this with you because it’s so dang funny to me. I was watching the first part of this video and I’m thinking is it because she’s tired or is there something wrong with her? She’s talking so slow and looks like she’s not OK what’s going on? And then I remembered I had slowed down the video speed because I’m trying to learn how to crochet and I’m watching these how-to videos.😅😅😅
I was starting to get really concerned about you😂
Haha, that's hilarious! I'm glad you realized what was going on before you got too worried. And good luck with your crochet adventures! It's always fun to learn new skills. 😊
