Ohhh the ORGANILLERO, I love those guys, there are only like 4 songs but is part of our culture and love it!!! Thanks so much for your lovely comments on my country, come back as much as you like
Beautiful churches and artwork that you find in the country, especially in central Mexico. I am so sorry for this and many other mothers whose daughters and sons have disappeared. One can only guess who is behind it.
Oh wow the mother’s story was heartbreaking 😥- I felt like crying hearing her story. PS your Airbnb is the nicest so far and 100% my style also 😍. Watching from NZ 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Hola Blake from Denver, CO where it's been snowing non stop! Wish we were there. This is the first video so now you have a new subscriber, learning Spanish too. Buena suerte and safe travels!
U get kudos for raising the issue of desaparecidos. It's the tragic underbelly of Mexico's militarized drug policy and it has created withering damage to tens of thousands of families across the country.
watching from Oregon... I have been to Puebla many times but your view was a little different from mine.. Wish you could have shown the huge contrast of some of the MALLS! There is a new Mall in Puebla I don't remember the name but I was there last year... Beautiful! Also the Liverpool Mall is quite large, but not as unique as the new one. I always enjoy going into the Cathedral you showed but there is another one built in the 1200''s that is extremely unusual... I know it has some earthquake damage so part of it isn't accessible but the unique part is the glass caskets of really unusual corpses in the lower part of the Cathedral... anyways I was fortunate to see that place... Great Video, keep them coming!! :D Puebla also has a HUGE park devoted to the French invasion that is marked by the CINCO de MAYO celebrations... Check it out if you can?
This was an awesome video buddy! You took us on a different trip and it was quite enjoyable after having smoked some weed. I actually live here in Puebla and I must say, "I'm amused to all its unique and we'll done art with a story to read thereof.. Thanks again! Thumbs up!!🎉
Puebla is on our top 5 list of possible retirement cities...seems to check all our boxes. Cool weather, safe, good healthcare, lots to do. Nothing like sunshine and cool air when you are outside enjoying a good cigar ! 😉 I believe you said you do not drink, but would you know if you can get most liquors there that we have here ? ...I drink very little but occasionally enjoy sipping a small amount of good quality bourbon.
Puebla definitely seems to be a very livable city and just 2 hours away from mexico city if it's too big for you to live in. I have no idea about the bourbon but I'm sure you can find many good ones in any large city like Puebla
@@Big_Jeff1 Queretaro, Oaxaca, Guanajuato, and San Cristobal de las Casas. We live in the Carolinas and San Cristobal reminds us a lot of a Mexican version of Asheville, which we love. One of our daughters has a house about 30 minutes outside of Queretaro. We speak Spanish and have lived abroad before (wife is originally from Nicaragua)., so we don’t really care either way about living close to English speaking expats. Any other cool weather cities we should consider ? Thx !
@@bananapatch9118 Oh nice. I've met some cool nicas when I lived in costa rica. I love CR but I don't think I would live there. Mexico has far more cultural and historical depth, and it's waaay cheaper. I'm looking at Oaxaca too because the highway from there to the beaches should be completed next year.
@@Big_Jeff1 One of our son in laws is from Oaxaca. His Mom now lives in Huatulco. I hear the food is great. Seems like a wonderful city. I agree on CR. We have family there so we go every once in a while but I would pick Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, and most of SE Asia over CR.
So I believe Monterrey recently surpassed Guadalajara by like 50k to become the second most populated. Puebla doesn't really have any competition, it's slowly getting to 4 million.
Hello from the Seattle area. I lived in Jalisco for a year and I can't freakin wait to get back to Mexico to live permanently when my family matters here are wrapped up. Thanks for the great videos.
Love that AirBnB - gorgeous light and outdoor space is always a bonus. If you can share a link - please do. PS - thanks for the shout out! Enjoy your time in Puebla and all the best, from North Vancouver, BC Canada ... where March means snow and skiing on the mountains, spring flowers in the garden and cherry blossoms everywhere.
Thanks, Daniel! Here's the link for the airbnb, let me know if it doesn't work www.airbnb.com/rooms/45882933?source_impression_id=p3_1616472346_yjbYsUYRmW%2BYrixP
Mexico is very dangerous for your waistline. You might put a few pounds with each visit. I suggest you follow these safety tips: 1) Always be aware of your surroundings because there is always delicious food for all budgets. 2) Keep an eye on your personal belongings as you may have to loosen up your backpack straps. If that's the case, stop eating all that delicious food. 3) Do not drink the water, try a mezcal based cocktail instead. You'll thank me later. 4) Don't talk to strangers as you may encounter helpful, friendly, hospitable people around every corner. Keep the videos coming, Colibri travel.
A very attractive city. There is a free train to Cholula if your interested. The church along the pedestrianised street has the magical section. Another interesting interview.
@@colibritravel5994 we love it. It’s a good mix of old and new. Nice historic center with large mercado, plazas and cute pastel buildings, but also with supermarkets, galerías, Sam’s Club etc. Lovely beaches, great bus system, tons of bars and restaurants and live music. A very long malecón, shrimp capital of the world, home of Pacifico beer, and one of the tallest lighthouses in the world. Very affordable.
Hi! I'm watching from Tulum! I'm thinking of following your path as I drive to CDMX. Did you have any trouble driving in Chiapas? Meaning pirates? I'm a single lady with 3 dogs.
Blake, hello from Myrtle Beach, south carolina. you may have covered this subject in an earlier vid, are you a perm resident, temporary, or tourist visa? Do you have to come back to the states as part of your status?
I don't think I've talked my about it, I made a video however on visas in Mexico with a lawyer in Guadalajara. Check it out. I have temporary residency
