Looks like you guys got a good spot at Zocolo! We we’re on the opposite side. We only stayed until the 3rd song since we had our little baby! It was so jammed pack it took us about 30 mins to make it out to the street to catch our Uber! We’re glad we got to see it for a little bit. Great shot of the fireworks and cry of independence! ❤🎉😊
We didn't initially get a good spot but the crowd shifted a lot and we gradually moved closer haha it's the biggest crowd we've ever been in! that's great you got to go!
One could do a mashup of Eit Baila Travel + En Los Zapatos de Monica + The Country Collectors for a mini-movie of El Grito. I want to go, I want to go! VIVA MEXICO!
Wow…! Amazing events! Something I probably wouldn’t attend cuz crowds+anxiety is not a good mix. That crowd was intense 😬 but a beautiful event! 😊 Thanks for sharing ❤
@@EatBailaTravel ..of course we are with you... Btw in Durango you said your Airbnb was close to the central.. Would you tell me which Airbnb you stayed at..we need something close?
Thanks for taking us along! I am sure that it is not easy packing around camera equipment in a crowd - so I appreciate your efforts! I also appreciate that you offered an English translation of the Grito. I love Mexico City and really enjoyed seeing some of the familiar locations. Sorry about the weather!
The event is quite stressful and exhausting but the weather was better raining than hot and sunny. Glad you enjoyed our take on this special day next year we will take off work and take it to the next level 😉
Hi guys! To be honest I don't feel like going there for the grito, first of all because I live in estado de México, secondly I don't feel like standing for so long in a packed place and this made me wonder what if you wanted to go to the bathroom or somewhere else, for that and for more reason I I never have been there in that date however, I enjoyed the video. Greetings!
I don't blame you, Cristina, I was pretty nervous about it myself because of the enormous crowd and the hours of waiting. What worked out for us was getting tacos at a little taquería nearby and using the bathroom there and not drinking anything until after the event 😅 sacrifices... lol
I’ve heard of LTDN! Maybe from the Grammys, I think? Looks so fun, but no room to dance! that’s quite the military display. It just keeps going! I’m with Jenny - would be fun to see some traditional dancing or other more cultural performances/celebrations, too. Both spots you guys have celebrated in are so cool!
Yep that might be it, they have about 10 grammys (just looked it up out of curiosity!) and we did consider going to another part of the city that had a different band playing, a super famous cumbia group Los Angeles Azules where we would have been able to dance! 😅 but we chose the iconic main event for this time, maybe next year we'll get to have some dancing in the celebration!
Love how you show us the real Mexico. Gran trabajo, como siempre. Les envidio. ¡Mis respetos por estar viviendo su sueño! Son una inspiración para muchos, y me incluyo.
Very cool experience!!! Thanks for showing the great adventure. Man that giant tostada 🤤🤤. Lol love Mexico weather. In the day hot as fudge and at night. Nice n cool. Cool video as always guys!!!
Glad you enjoyed it was a little tough to film with tons of people and trying to enjoy at the same time. Next year we got some big ideas for this event!
Have you guys heard these Mexican rope jumping songs? En La capital Benito Juarez Vendía tamales Por los portales de La mercéd Mientras Hidalgo Bailaba tango Con la madrasta De Hernán Cortéz Cuautémoc pasó Por catedrál Pidió un trago No tengo pulque Solo mezcál
Kevin, have you been to any of the professional basketball games in Mexico City (The Mexico City Capitanes team)? I'm just curious if you have and IF you have, how was your experience? You too, Jenny!
We have not gotten the chance to check out any games. I like basketball but what I really want to go check out is baseball. Baseball in Latin America is something special.
The whole military parade thing was definitely a sight to see. The paratroopers were amazing and the whole display was quite jaw dropping, not only because of how impressive it all looked but also because it was such an odd sight. We definitely don't see anything like that in US parades. I showed by husband and he pointed out that it's an odd sight for us because military parades are a usually third world country/communist thing....To me that seems odd for a thriving democracy like Mexico....that and I'm not used to Mexico flexing it's military, since Mexico is a neutral country. I'm still trying to mull over what the meaning of it is. From what I hear the big military show is new this year? What is the message? I know Mexico's senate just voted to put the military in charge of the national guard.....is this all pointing to a solid show of force against cartel corruption? Anywho, nice video guys. I'm impressed you guys got to eat and use the bathroom, I saw other youtubers were going hungry and thirsty. Y'all are resourceful!
we unfortunately missed some of the cool things happening in the air but yea I'm totally with you on how odd it is to see all the glorification of military. I was wondering if perhaps this was a mega-recruitment event and also a way to try to unify citizens behind supporting their military? Could it be a way of Mexico asserting their strength and continued independence?
Chicos, You can DIY “~Gatorade.” 2 quarts of water. 1 package of Kool-Ade. 3/4 cup of sugar. ~ 1/4 teaspoon of 50-50 salt, that’s 50% sodium chloride and 50% potassium chloride. I got this recipe from the college volleyball coach. BIG $$$ saver. Portense Bien, si no CHANCLA…Did you video the earthquake?
Thanks for the awesome thanks for the cruda recipe! We left Mexico City the day after the Independence Day so we did not get to experience that. We probably would have freaked out
@@EatBailaTravel No, I didn’t play volleyball. 50 years ago, the volleyball coach was the go to guy for minor physical problems & ADA accommodations. I played softball & got my senior lifesaver certificate. In 2017, I felt a 5.7 earthquake in Chile. No big deal. No damage, the building codes appear to be strictly followed. Chile is sooo much like Mexico, you chicos need to check it out! Disfruten de su juventúd.
Hola chicos! We were in Mexico City mid February. It is really a beautiful city. It has improved so much. We stayed 5 days @ Hilton La Reforma and really got to know lovely neighborhoods and had dinner at lovely restaurants. Your experience is great being at the Zocalo on the Grito day. Tks for sharing. Enjoy the city.
that's so great that you've enjoyed Mexico City, it has SO MUCH to offer! We have a completely new experience every time we visit. We love it, too and look forward to our next CDMX adventure 😊 thanks for your comment!🙏🏽
Some people dislike and may be discouraged by military parades because they consider them government propaganda used for recruitment. This one in Mexico however seems more genuine and people friendly as the military salutes and greets the pueblo and vice versa. The Mexican people seem to love this military parade because it shows that the country is ready to defend itself from outside invaders knowing the long history of Mexico being invaded by countries such as the US and France. In my opinion, that would be the big difference between US and Mexico where one may use its military mainly for offensive purposes and the other for defensive purposes. Saludos EBT 😁, ya veo que se cuidaron y se banaron (con la lluvia) 😂
I'm glad you bring that up because I felt the same at the beginning of the parade and the more I saw people's admiration and pride, my opinion started to shift. And my judgement comes from my experience growing up in the US where A LOT of money is spent trying to show just how big our military is and how they target low-income communities for recruitment... while I did feel like the parade was a subtle recruitment event it still brought people together in a way I've never seen in the US. Really interesting! and yes, whether we liked it or not, nos bañamos! 😅 gracias por el comentario amigo saludos!
@@EatBailaTravel EBT thanks for responding and it sounds like we’re on the same page, where in the US they have this sort of parades disguised as fleet week. I’ve seen these videos of the Mexican military parades, pero me toca ir en persona pronto. It’s a good experience that you guys got to be there in person. All in all, You ate, you traveled and if you go to Lagunillas nearby Zocalo pueden bailar 😁👍✌️
I love how you both ended up people watching for the parade 😂 Always admire how you both give insightful commentary on ur surroundings! This is why ur channel popularity is gonna stay up there, trust ✌🏽✨
haha that's such a good point! it wasn't even intentional we just found ourselves more entertained by everything going on around us 😅 thanks so much for your kind words, Lupe! 😊

Pidió un trago
No tengo pulque
Solo mezcál

Yea major cities in Mexico face masks are required especially at Oxxos lol Mexico City having so many people pues even more you know.
@@EatBailaTravel In USA no mask freedoms baby mall , movie club no mask here Pues enjoy df
@@elperro3056 that’s not freedom. The US government just doesn’t care about its people. They don’t care if people get sick and die.

Even though vaccines are available in Mexico, there are still many who don’t have access to these 🤷🏽♀️
