  1. It does look a lot like the Dubai skyline. Wow, Brazil really is very modern and diverse! I would really love the tropical rains and strolling the beach in the cooler off season. Thanks for taking us along! Special place, glad you’re enjoying it. 😊

  2. Beautiful, so glad to see you in a more temperate environment. Those falls - wow! What a fun & pretty place. Do they speak mostly Portuguese, other European languages-Italian/German? Great to see you relaxing and having fun there. In LONG sleeves! Ahhh. ☺️ within reason though - I’m with Rondel: I’m from Colorado and “I’m ok with no snow” and, I’m with Apryl: “not bad” I like lighter beers too. 🍻 Sure doesn’t feel like Brazil, but nice to see. 😁

  3. How fun to see Maddie on your show! 😊 It’s just like seeing a “guest star” on one of my favorite shows as a kid: like Andy Griffith on Lucy, or the little green alien “Kazoo?” on the Flintstones! 😁

  4. You must be so relieved to be in a cooler place. I couldn’t handle the heat - I almost melted watching your last few cities. 🥵 Love the Gaucho clips! I did a fourth grade school report on the Gauchos of Argentina - great memories pouring over the Encyclopedia Brittanica for hours & hours! Yummiest BBQ, 😋, Rondel cracked me up “keeping it respectable!” The way you bit into that slow-roasted piece of meat - I’m so hungry now. 😳 The walk after was lovely - interesting about insulin levels - I need to start walking after meals. Apryl is looking glow-y from “chasing the Brazilian summer” (I’d be burnt to a crisp) and very pretty in braids. 🙌🏾 I’m enjoying Brazil through you two - thank you for the adventure - cause I’ll probably never go. 🤷🏼‍♀️

  5. Beautiful, and muy interesante! Glad you found ‘your people’ of Guayaquil. Seems like a lovely connection. Muy divertido!

  6. Thank you for this. How beautiful to see you enjoying your new friends there, as Rondel says, “with your people.” The thing I love most about Mexico is the mix of cultures into one but still holding on to their unique traditions. The date of their celebration of ancestors Nov 1: All Saints Day - so important in Catholic Mexico. I love this about you: that I can experience Latin America through your eyes and experience. I think “de la verga” may mean something a little naughty, but couldn’t understand the rooster reference. 😂 So, thanks Apryl & Rondel once again for the rich and unique travel adventure. ❤

  7. Thanks for telling it like it is. So sad about Ecuador. 😢 Hopefully it’s short-lived. Paris ? Gross. My short-term travel ambitions are in the NW U.S. and Baja. Apryl, your twists are so beautiful - love them. Please consider getting a van if you go to Europe. 🚐 I’m glad you have each other! Love & prayers for safe travels. 🙏🏼

  8. Wow, peso power. ✊🏽 Good for Mexico. 🇲🇽

  9. 😟 I’m sorry that happened to you. We were stopped on a bus once in the daytime in Costa Rica. Men dressed in camo fatigues and carrying machine guns came on and stopped at our seats toward the back. It was scary. I can imagine it must have felt really bad to be targeted like that several times in the middle of the night, and at the airport in Cancun. Thank you for being such good ambassadors for us all. Be safe. ❤

  10. That was fun, and what a surprise favorite - Modela Negra. I don’t typically like dark beers, but if Apryl loves it, I’m getting some. I’m super surprised about Modela being #1 in the US. Wow! Totally agree about budlite. 🙄 It was hilarious to watch you rising on the tipsy scale as the evening progressed - and the cervezeria - awesome! I think gorgeous Apryl is still glowing from her Brazilian tan, so she’s a bit darker, and Rondel (being a guacho) wears his cowboy hat a lot. Also, I think we all get lighter as we age (sorry Rondel).😉 I like Corona too 🍻- bought a few cases of it in 2020 in honor of the virus when the lockdown made me leave Spain three weeks early. 😡🥴

  11. Loved this - can’t wait to see Durango someday. Great job - Looks like you’re enjoying it. 🤠

  12. Based on your review, Cuenca 4 me. But, I would love to see Loja to get to more natural areas and more local / fewer expats, and it’s a bit lower in elevation. One of my main concerns is climate and air quality, especially a place that has good air moisture and not too dry, but mot too humid either. I’m in Colorado, and the dryness, cold and lack of diversity in plant life makes me dream of the semi-tropics - but, not to hot! Thank you so much.

  13. Fascinating! So happy you did that - wonderful heritage. You’re both Nigerian (beautiful, but, yes, sad🫶🏿😥, and Kenyan! 🦒🐘🐆- yay! My family is 10 different ethnicities. American mutts here 🐕 including Armenian, Irish, native Canadian Metis and French voyagers 🐩🌲🚣🏽‍♂️.

  14. It does sound a lot like Mo Town in the 70’s, and being from there, I guess Rondel would know. Really, his voice & the Portuguese makes it unique. And, the melody & words sound really heart wrenching. 😟 Thanks for this.😊

  15. You two are the cutest. Loved this video - the singing was special. ❤ Apryl, “I have to sit down for this one.” 😂 Those names are hard but you nailed it! Happy to be a $1 Patreon! 😊 Hope you’re enjoying the country - beautiful place.

  16. How can we support this charity?

  17. Beautiful and interesting descriptions of “home” for you. Funny how that changes. I used to know what home is, but my perspective has radically changed. You two really surprised me with Thailand - wow! Looks amazing. I noticed you didn’t mention Ecuador but I remember you liked it. I really appreciate you being honest about race issues and I’m sorry for your troubles. As foreign travelers, we expect to stand out some, but it’s scary & sad to be targeted. As a solo female, blending is my goal, but not always possible. In my “old age,” I’m looking a lot like Gandalf. 😒 I loved going with you through the Afro-Brazilian areas, and in the Afro-Ecuadorian part of Guayaquil - so special. Kenya is my dream since I was a little girl. And, Rwanda is gorgeous, and me being Catholic, the site of a very important holy shrine in Kibeho. I follow a few sweet Kenyans on Youtube. Would love to see you go there, and maybe… Armenia? Anyway, I can’t wait to travel…someday… until then, there’s the Yarbros brightening my days. ❤

  18. You are a beautiful couple, thanks for taking us along on your adventures! So fun to watch. The taxi experience would have rattled me, especially if I was alone. I was surprised about the girl in the mall trying to hustle you. Do you feel targeted as foreigners? Glad you have each other. Stay safe.

  19. What’s not to love about a city named “Florianopolis?” Looks beautiful - a bit like California. Enjoy!

  20. Merry Christmas🎄. Good food for thought. Seems exhausting sometimes. No offense to either Apryl or Rondel, but probably a little “less weird” for a man I think. Most are just a little more nomadic by nature, IMHO. Maybe it gets easier for us as we age, and spend much of our lives in a domestic role, itching for travel - like me. For women, our cycles make it more challenging. Speaking for myself, once that’s over, I think we’re ready for adventure, before we get too old! 😊

  21. “Would you tell your kids to do that?” Hmmm, that hit home, I have stories… Fun to reminisce about Brazil. Trusting in God - through good times and bad. 💞

  22. Sweet potato pie is great. I made it by “accident” one year when I didn’t have Pumpkin. It came out so good - Yummy! Interesting history. - ty! ❤

  23. How perfect. ❤ Love this - I would be in heaven. You both look so relaxed and happy! Even your skin and hair look dewy. Is it hot there? You look to be very comfortable. I would pass on the grasshoppers too, but the Cacao drink looks good. I’m studying Spanish too & counting the days to retirement… then, Mexico-bound! 390 to go… 😊

  24. That fish - yum! And the travel earplugs - cool!

  25. Also, what a beautiful Mass! I am Catholic, and I love watching the African Masses in Nigeria online. Really special. Did you know that African Catholic communities have a special “papal permission” (or “dispensation”) to dance in the liturgy, as movement is such a part of their communication in worship. I love to watch, and pray with them online. A sad fact for the USA: after the civil War, during reconstruction, a bishop in the South was commissioned to help and catechize the black people, but he didn’t, because he was very racist. The Catholic Church in America might look very different today, if he had been faithful to his vows of obedience and God’s love. I never knew there were Afro-Ecuadorean Catholics! Que bonito!

  26.  @TheYarbros  One more thought- if you go to Peru, you may like to learn about St. Martin de Porres. He is an amazing Afro-Peruvian lay-Dominican saint of the late 16th, early 17th centuries, who is known for his incredible humility, kindness and spiritual gifts, like bi-location, similar to Padre Pio, and he fought with demons like him too. Many testimonies of him appearing to comfort and strengthen people held in slave ships, hundreds of miles off the coast of South America. https://youtu.be/sowGAJQAyho

  27. Maybe a compromise for Apryl could be a year or two in an RV or campervan? I think for women (particularly introverted/quiet ones) it gets hard not to have our own space. Rondel, perhaps, sees Apryl as his “home base.” My husband is like that - always out in nature. You two are such a blessing to each other - and us. ❤

  28. I’d like to see you go to Belize! Not that far. Would love your perspective.

  29. Wow! Another bucket list location. Christ the Redeemer is amazing! I always think of the old movie with Bette Davis and Paul Henreid, “Now, Voyager ,” 1942, where they drive up there as strangers, almost die running off the mountain, and have to sleep together in a little cabin! Great movie. Your new hairstyles are cute - April, love the twist/braid thing, adorable, and looks very practical for travel too. 😊

  30.  @TheYarbros  Yes, it’s a goodie. Have some tissues ready, and look for the tearjerker quote: “don’t let’s ask for the moon, we have the stars…”

  31. Another really interesting and super helpful video, thank you. Never had a test & not getting one. Love your shows!

  32. You look so adorable in your matching marigold shirts. 💛 The Sacred ❤️‍🔥 of Jesus Church - gorgeous. The people standing up for their faith during that period of time - beautiful. “Viva Christo Rey!” 😢 The camino & plaza - very cute & seems like a working town - love that. The “husband interpreter” cracked me up. 😂 Appreciate the leather lesson. Your backpacks are so nice. I hope you are enjoying your time in Leon! 🦁

  35. Too hot for me!!! Apryl, you look pretty even when you sweat, but I would be a dripping tomato. I hope you had fun on the island, looks beautiful. The beer & fried fish looks great!

  36.  @TheYarbros  Aw, thanks for the newsy response. So appreciated and helpful! I’m glad you are relaxing in the country - sounds so nice. Enjoy it! 🙏🏼🤗💞

  37. We’ve been lied to about virtually everything. 😢 The deception, I believe, comes largely from secret societies. I did some research in 2020 and was surprised to discover that the old iron shackles of slavery were often stamped with masonic symbols. “All of this world is a fallacy.” But, the truth will set us free! God wins in the end. Beautiful, interesting video, thank you! 🌍💞

  38. Interesting, seems like about half knew their 2nd president. But what was the Haitian revolt? You might like this video of a black historian talking about AfroMexican communities. https://youtu.be/iHNYDsmpfIM?si=m8Rlkj_1mv8t4FwF

  39. I love the mercados, noting this for future reference. Thank you! 🌸

  40. Apryl - you look so pretty in that dress! 💙 Oaxaca is on my list for sure. The cultural festivals are wonderful - so authentic. The food there is amazing too! It would be hard to leave I think. 🍊🍋🥑🥭🌶️🫔🌯🌮🫕 😋 Thanks for bringing us along to join your time in Oaxaca region. Enjoy! 💞

  41. I love your faith in God’s providence, and I wanted to share this short film in honor of Rev. King’s holiday yesterday. Pat & Paul Bokulich were involved in the Civil Rights movement in Selma, Alabama in the 60s. They were dear friends and pillars of our parish church in Cali. I hope you enjoy it. 😊🙏🏼💞 https://youtu.be/wFaLSQmRNJc?si=s4UdsFL1-bYuHrFo

  42. I’m so ready. Woke up at 5am for a freezing wait for a train to denver in sleeting snow. 🥶Had a 4:30p meeting-from-hell that went to 5:30. 😞 So tired of it. 😖

  43. Thank you. Maybe, life is short. Rondel, you’re so funny! I didn’t think about Durango, it’s pretty! I’m gonna give it some consideration. Trying to learn fluent Spanish!

  44. You two always make me smile. ☺️❤

  45.  @rodolfohernandez2882  Interesting - they were men dressed in camo fatigues. What would you call them? We later learned they were searching for a murderer.
