all of the bugs will make you homesick for south Florida

Didn’t know the story of cruel dangerous female preying mantises that selfishly grab the flowers from the hopeful male and slam the door. But then I suppose this ritual is better than that of a certain species of spiders where the female eats the male after a night of romance 😂. Wow…but so many somnabulent bugs over there… I think you must have stepped on at least a few unlucky (but happy) ones. Despite the mosquito and venomous, amorous critters, San Miguel de Allende seems like a great place to spend time and explore. And that downpour must have been quite refreshing after all that hot weather.

Glad you guys finally got some cooler weather to be out walking in. Are you guys still eating out or are you cooking at home? I wonder if there will be in Mexico cooking videos this trip around.

Oh! The Praying Mantis seems a lot of being in a relationship today. Lots of slamming doors.

What's goin on in town? Ppl waiting for the Pope lol! 👍♥️✌

Have you ever cooked a few of those crawly things up?

I have grabbed a few flowers in my day and slammed the door also.

An insect phobia prevents me from traveling to Asia, South America, Africa, and the Caribbean, basically all of the areas of the globe inhabited by large, scary insects. I have always lived in relatively cooler northern regions. Happy trails to you.

I think that's a young praying mantis. Whoa....lots of bugs in this episode 😂

I walked that same bridge you did in the beginning today

What? "You had to wait until you quit crying to start the video?" . . . . Was feeling good walking, eating & exploring Cuenca (thanks), when this comment popped my mood. Not always good to have a travel partner. Don't let them inhibit you. Just be you -- go ahead & cry, if appropriate.

As a Chilean, I regret your traumatic experience with pickpockets, and it is good that you expose it, so that the government in power can redouble security. For the rest, I hope you have or are enjoying our country, thank you and a hug.

I love these rambles, thanks for sharing!

I don't know what happened to my reply so here I may be going again. I'm in my last chapter at 80 and very tired. I am not fond of some of my pages in this chapter being torn in half. Hanging in there.😮😊😊😮❤❤

Sometimes I'm glad I suffer from social anxiety! I would NEVER be out and about unless I have a VERY good reason to do so! Like, If I had to go to work for example! xD

This story had everything As you told it it played out like a movie in my mind I have had my share of being robbed by an armed person. The first time the guy shoved the gun in my stomach and I just stood there and closed my eyes thinking this was the end of my life. Then I was robbed a few more times all in the same area, all in places I worked and all armed. Croissant sounds good.

My wallet popped out like a pop tart LOL

where did she get jacket,,,HAT???

I’ve never been robbed. I’d have been worried about my ID and credit cards. I would’ve wet my pants 🤣

Just got back from Cuenca. After see this video I got up every morning before my spouse got moving to make a trip to PECA. Nice place to read a book and enjoy some fresh bake goods.

By the way, the reason for the lower Notes being polymer is because smaller notes are used more and gets worn down really fast so they make it more durable and it’s cheaper for the government not to produce more notes when those notes run down

Behind every great man is a genius woman. Fingers crossed she can get the website squared away. What editing software do you use?

I've yet to try Sapote! My mum (being that she is Mexican) tells me they're delicious! I'll try 'em someday!

Hi Buck, thanks for sharing the unedited video. It's amazing to see how you made that into just 5 minutes and it was seamless even though now I see you actually had a ton of footage. My favorite part that had me laughing 😂 was when you brought out your black trash bag and put it on the counter next to the plate of cut fruit. I actually went back and watched the 5 minute video cause I didn't remember any trash bag in the cutting video. Always great to see a video from you and CG and thank you for the much needed laugh today. (It was a super stressful day) Look forward to your next travel video!! 🏜

Enjoyed the long version with all of the chitchat. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed seeing the unedited version, thanks for sharing!

Interesting to see fruits in different countries not offered in mine.

I am first to comment! I have nothing to say, but I am first! Well, one comment, that must be one fascinating piece of fruit for fifteen or even five minutes of footage and commentary. Kinda like a Mango? With nuances of smokey chocolate and oak?

Enjoyed the video. But, in bed by 9 PM on a Saturday night in a new, exciting city in Latin America, what?

Speaking of books...the first time I went into a coffee house that had maybe hundreds of books i felt so confused and conflicted. I was always taught that books and beverages dont go together. So I felt like I needed to continue keeping those two things separate and I never went back to that place again. 😂

Speaking of Africa you ever think of travelling all the way over there sometime? Would be pretty cool! You ever seen Bone Tomahawk? That's another "non-traditional" Western movie that's also pretty dark and kinda brutal!

Love your videos. I’m always looking for new colonias as my wife and I are retiring in San Miguel de Allende. We’ve been there 6 times. I heard there is a colonia called, Allende which has flat streets. Can you make a video about that colonia? Thanks

Love the train-of-thought narrative.

I've often wished I was recording myself so that I could remember what I was just talking about. But then I'd have to record everything I say 😅

Mexico is the best place to be now that all the Mexican cartel and inmates are now in USA.MEXICO IS THE PLACE TO BE.

The view going forward is so much better than the rear view shots, thank you! 🤢 I do enjoy your ramblings, but I do miss the sweet bantering between you and CG in this episode. 💕

U missed Ohio for the Appalachian trail. 🙂

😂" dont feel to tough just walking down the sidewalk eating my ice cream and waffle cone"

Im one of those young-ins 34

Have you guys improved your Spanish? You spend so much time in Latin America. When I was in Italy for ten days and then again the next year for a week, I felt I had to try to learn and make an effort to speak Italian, just out of respect to the natives. My college Spanish helped a lot with Italian as the two languages are similar...I got laughed at in a good natured way by some of the Italians I met when my attempts to be understood glitched. The Italians appreciated the effort though. Thanks for the personal reminiscing and thoughts. Maybe you should have a written blog if you do not already. Twenty five years ago, when I started the process of emigrating to Denmark and marrying my Danish wife, I shuttled back and forth between the USA and Aarhus and that was an adventure to me at the time. Now I feel like I just took a sky bus a few times to a cushy suburb where the Danish government pampered me with free Danish classes and other forms of help offered to immigrants.

Que bueno que sigas aprendiendo español eso es importante si vives en Ecuador. Aunque muchos hablamos en inglés, indiscutiblemente debes de aprenderlo. Saludos.

I so behind on videos lately! Somehow I've managed to keep away from my computer more often than I usually do. lol. Finally got some free time!

Thank you for the stroll through town. Been there myself. I have spent 30 years traveling Mexico. Haven't been there for 12 years. I was that crazy American hanging out the back window of the bus taking photos. I speak the language and am very talkative, so I buddied up to people easily. Miracles happened on my travels. The people were genuinely full of love and life. Mexico was certainly my oyster in my day. In April 1997, I was on a bus returning to the U.S. and watched comet Hale Bopp for hours in the night sky. I always encountered people who adopted me for a few days and were surprised when I returned a year later with gifts to share. I have several extended adopted families in that marvelous country. I have passed both VW factories while on bus rides. Unfortunately, both have been closed down for more than 10 years at least. I have 6 classic beetles in my yard, so seeing bugs in Mexico was definitely a thrill in my travels. I digress. I thank you for the video upload. Viva Mexico!

Beautiful place I spent 3 weeks there with my step family who live there never met a more loving and caring people in my life 💞

Dam that sounded like a war zone.

I think your Jimmy Stewart looks more like Gregory Peck. It's actually a Peruvian artist by the name of Felipe Cossío del Pomar who opened an art institute in San Miguel de Allende called Instituto Allende in an 18th century Renaissance palace.

Some of these views are great. If I had skills I'd paint them.

These prices for common items people would need from the market is really helpful for anyone planning to travel. I'm a bit jealous of some of these prices. Especially jealous of the two chickens and all the bonus items they give.

Hey guys! I love your videos and walk abouts. Can you please mention the name of the street you walked with all the murals on? Looking forward to returning to SM in winter 😊
