  1. I fell in love with Oaxaca when I went there in 1973. Haven’t been able to get back, but, one of these days! You two are such beautiful folks, inside and out. Your kind and open souls come shining through.

  3. Have you been to Frida Khalo’s house in Coyoacán? It’s interesting. Also, if it’s open now, find The Delores Olmedo Museum. She was a friend of both Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera (and probably one of Rivera’s lovers!). She was very wealthy (she passed away in the early 2000s), and her home/museum is full of wild and amazing Mexican art, including lots of works by Frida Khalo. There are also peacocks on the grounds, as well as some “Aztec” dogs (they’ve been around since the Aztecs). They’re called Xoloitsquintle (yeah, try to pronounce that!), commonly called Xolos (“Sholos”). Very strange looking dogs, medium height, grey or brown, mostly hairless except for a tuft of hair on their foreheads. I find them fascinating, esp. since the breed is probably thousands of years old. And, of course, I’m sure you’ve been to Teotihuacán, the pyramids outside CDMX. (Didn’t I see a video of you there?) one of my favorite places on earth. Thanks for another cool video!

  4. Thank you for the great information! Question: when you return to the U.S. (or go to any other country) from Mexico at the end date of your temporary “visa”, how long do you have to stay out of Mexico before you can return? I have heard everything from one day to one week to six months. Do you have up-to-date information on that? Much appreciated.

  6.  @melissasueferrin3409  I’m sure. I’ve heard the crime has really gone up. I think it would make me pretty sad.

  7.  @TheYarbros  Thank you for that. A week sounds very reasonable.

  8. I had always thought I’d choose Oaxaca, but I’m really such a big city girl and I love Mexico City (DF), and am curious if it’s still worth it. Are you going there to give us the scoop? Would love to hear about it.

  9. What fun! Glad you are enjoying Guatemala. It’s funny, but just last week I was qwatching a YouTube video about some of the history of Guatemala. I don’t remember the name, but you’ll see something about “fruit” or “bananas”. If you want to know more about the history of Guatemala, I think you’ll find it interesting. It’s pretty brutal, but it’s mostly about how a U.S. fruit company went in and took a lot of the land & forced the people to work for them. Then when things got to testy with the public in the U.S. they sort of re-branded and changed their name to Chiquita. That might be related to why you are seeing so many American food places there, as we (the U.S.) pretty much took over the country. Also, you mentioned hearing about Livingston. One or two videos cover a lot about that place as well. It’s very interesting. A man there who “saves” the history of Livingston said that the people there did NOT originate in the Caribbean islands, but he didn’t say how they originally got there. He made it sound like they were always there, but I wonder about that. I have a Guatemalan friend, so I’ll have to ask her if she knows. Anyway, glad you two are safe and having a great time. Looking forward to your next videos.

  12.  @TheYarbros  I have heard other videos that say the Phoenix, Arizona Mexican Embassy is much more lenient and accommodating than those in other states. Apparently the ones in San Diego and Houston, Texas are very difficult, and you’re not likely to get approved on at least your first attempt. Hope that helps.
