I am so thankful that I found you guys on TH-cam. My boyfriend and I visited Cancun and Akumel. We rented a car and drove all over the place. Now we just want to go see more. Your videos are so informative. Really appreciate.
Se les llama "Calenda" la fiesta que presenciaron en la calle al comienzo del video , son fiestas típicas del estado de Oaxaca 😍, amo ver su viaje atraves de mi país ❤️ disfrutenlo mucho 🤩🥰
I knew you guys would like it there! Mole is amazing! It actually is a very complex sauce that is comprised of over a dozen ingredients and cooks for hours, giving it a complex flavor profile. Puebla, MX is where it comes from. If you get a chance during van life, stop into Puebla and Cholula...they have a church for every day of the year and have an amazing volcano in the background.
Mole is one of the comfort foods for Mexicans. It’s something everyone looks forward to eating when mom or grandma makes it. One of my favorite dishes. Glad you guys went out of your way to look for a restaurant that made it well. As well as the whole mezcal tasting. Love your vlogs. Wished you guys posted every other day !
Oaxaca is a vibrant city, it's small but it maintains many original features from the colonial days of the Spanish empire and also has many cultural activities. its gastronomy and its mixture of cultures are awesome 🇲🇽🇨🇿
Great vid, yall. I loved Oaxaca and Monte Alban many years ago. Seeing u there makes it so inviting. And, u being there during Dia de los Muerte is so special. Enjoy the mezcal and wow! U really held it all well as u were able to walk back to ur quarters and climb the stairs and even drink a cerveza! haha. Oooh YES! The mole!!!
What a way to start the video! Loud bangs and fireworks and a parade!😂. Looked fun though! I hope you guys are doing well as always and I’m SO glad you guys have a Patreon now! (Let me speed over there and subscribe quick🏃🏾💨). You guys are amazing and I’m SO glad that you’re enjoying Mexico !😆
I was in Oaxaca in 1997, a really nice and characteristic city, expecially the "zocalo" ... I hope now it's the same. Monte Alban is totally amazing! Next step Puerto Escondido? 😉 ...
Mole is the famous Chile and chocolate (Mexican) and served with turkey or any meat you like there are different moles. Traditionally turkey. I used to make it a lot. To do it from scratch takes a long time but it’s so delicious it’s worth it. I paused the video before you tried it!
Los mexicanos amamos ultracabron nuestr@ ciudad/pueblo donde nacimos. Damos la vida por ese pinche pedazo jodido de tierra. Pero todos sabemos que la Ciudad de Oaxaca es el Paraíso en la Tierra. Los de Sinaloa somos los más chingones, y por eso mismo sabemos que Oaxaca es Tierra Sagrada, a la cual debemos proteger a toda costa. Oaxaca guarda la esencia de ser mexicano.
All depends. I have been here for a few days. Street food around 30 to 60 pesos, restaurants (that I go to)100 to 200 pesos ($5 to $10 approx) Budget hostal/ hotel $15 to $25 a night, $10 in a dorm room with others. Monthly apartment about $300 in a decent area. That's about all I know, heading to Puerto Escondito next.
I didn't like this place. Looked like a prison yard, narrow streets, unfriendly people despite my trying to be friendly, the places where I ate the food was gross (inside the Centro market, a hotel restaurant etc). But it's a haven for good quality dark chocolate and coffee. Overrated place IMO. I saw a video of a couple who lived and left there for the very reason of the unfriendliness of the people. But explore and experience. My experience may not be yours. Mexico is a big country--theres a place for everyone here. Enjoy. Stop listening to US propaganda of this country and mingle with the people and enjoy.

After that shot was passed to you both on street, I was waiting for the, 'three weeks later...' announcement. Lol.

I had mole in Puebla where it originated. Then in Oaxaca I took a cooking class and we made mole; so fun with 14 ingredients.
Mole is a sauce that takes forever to make. Delicious
Oaxaca is a vibrant city, it's small but it maintains many original features from the colonial days of the Spanish empire and also has many cultural activities.
its gastronomy and its mixture of cultures are awesome 🇲🇽🇨🇿

I loved the running man image on the pedestrian crossing sign and he went faster and faster as the time ran out!
Great video guys. Mandy had some bling on that I don't think we seen before.

You have to go to Puerto Escondido. Lots of beautiful beaches. We were there in February and March 2022 and are going back in 2023.
Second this. Your so close. Don't skip it. La Punta is a really cool vibe.
I was in Oaxaca in 1997, a really nice and characteristic city, expecially the "zocalo" ... I hope now it's the same. Monte Alban is totally amazing! Next step Puerto Escondido? 😉 ...

Hi guys! And greetings from Waterloo!
Day of the Dead parade.
Mandy love those gold chains, did Lloyd buy you those in Mexico?
Very cool guys!
Please would you be kind enough to tell of what is the name of the guitar music starting at 4:09?
Pero que bonitos ojos tienen los dos
That bread looks like a brioche! Yum
How about that mezcal ?

mezcal is normally drank with orange rather than lime!

We’ll said. Thank you

Where is the name of the mole restaurant?
Great🎉
amazing, the place is very beautiful👍
Hola
What is the approx cost of living there guys? Accom, food, drinks, transports, bills etc (apart from 500 pesos for the taxis)
All depends. I have been here for a few days. Street food around 30 to 60 pesos, restaurants (that I go to)100 to 200 pesos ($5 to $10 approx) Budget hostal/ hotel $15 to $25 a night, $10 in a dorm room with others.

💡👍
Are you getting tired of Mexico yet? Can't wait for the next country you road test.
Oops! Hit the thumbs down instead of up. Hope it cancelled when I touched it again.
Love this video.
