The first thing I do when I leave Mexico is immediately start missing Mexico. We absolutely loved our time in Merida and Valladolid.
On our way from Valladolid to Cenote Sambula in Dzitnup, we stopped in Chichimila, a charming Mayan village, and ate at El Capitan. That was a great day.
Haha I know the feeling. That sounds like a perfect day
😅a fun thing to do is go to English library. One night a week they have locals who want to practice English. Very fun!
Wonderful
Thanks. Good to know. I will visit the MEL (Merida English Library).
We arrived at merida Airport at 10pm on 2/29/24 with some apprehension regarding the transportation to our hotel in the city centro. All of the internet talks about the need to take a taxi for at least Mex$300! It turns out the ADO bus into the city center was perfect for Mex$40 for each person. We got off at the 2nd stop, right near the Santa Lucia plaza & walked the few blocks to our hotel. Perfect!!
Wonderful. ADO buses are great! You can also take a taxi, which is like $8 but you have to walk to the street you can't get the taxi from the Airport (near the rental car place).
DISFRUTEN NUESTRO AMADO PAIS
Saludos amigos just comeback from our trip to Cancun , went to Chichen Itza , take a swim at Cenote and eat cochinita pibil I love that area I hope you guys doing good again saludos to you both
Sounds like a good time! It really is such an amazing area. Did you have some delicious seafood?
@@EatSeeRV Yes I did , the food at the Cenote area was great we travel like 3.5 hrs from Cancun to Chichen Itza we also got to see the Tren Maya along the route it's not a 100 % working but is getting there
Merida is awesome and Mexican food is amazing!😀
Agreed and agreed!
@@EatSeeRV I appreciate what you do for Mexico, see the positive side and not what the American government and media say!?
Actually Mexico is safer than the USA,
What a fun trip. Thanks for sharing. The machete dancing was crazy. Lol 💖🙏✌️
I think you'd really like Merida!
Your videos never disappoint! great job!!
Thank you for watching!
That food looks amazing!! dancing was fun and you always find Unique places to share... Muchas Gracias!!!
Gracias for watching 💃🏽
EnJoyable,,,,,,,,,, One of the Cities on my bucket list.........Tks for the upload..!!
Yay! Hope you can make it there soon
Excellent video guys. We have the vacation on May I know is .we are needs a hotel in Merida do you have one to recomende in downtown.
Awesome! Here's our recommendations for hotels eatseerv.com/visiting-merida-mexico/
I’m headed to MX soon (CDMX and Puerto Escondido), looking forward to some warmth because it has been so “cold” in St Pete! 😁
Enjoy! Haha it has been "cold" and wet this year!
So happy to see Mexico again. Of course I wasn't trying to get any work done on a Monday.
Haha, I forget your 3 hours behind. Call it an "early" one. Anyways, you work for yourself - you make the schedule!
Great video! The food looked as always. Love loved watching the dancing. Nice city. Love Mexican food. Love Mexican pizza. Love burritos. And if course tacos. Enchiladas. And chimichangas. Nice you both again. Sorry I didn’t see Dennis. Great video! Stay safe and have a great week.
Dennis made 3 quick appearances 😂 the food was wonderful there!
Nuevo suscriptor greetings from veracruz 🇲🇽
Hola! Estoy feliz que esta aquí.
Such a great culture. Viva Mexico.
Indeed!
Any rural village Mexico video
Hi Dennis and Liz! I remember your trip a few years back to Mexico. Nice you went back. I am watching the video tonight! I miss watching you! I’m going try and get back to watching you again from time to time. If you don’t mind.
Of course not Sherri, glad to have you with us.
I like it your content about Mexico because I can learn English ❤😂
Perfect! Haha
Thanks for the information .we have the flight tickets we only needs the hotel
Safe travels!
Good video hy
I love Merida except for the summer, then it gets really hot.
So. Hot 🥵
You guys are always so fun to watch. Thank you for taking the time to take us along. The costumes of the dancers were wearing were incredibly pretty. Open question. Do you ever get food Poisoning in any of the places that you eat?
The dancing was incredible! And we have, but rarely. We've gotten sick 2 or 3 times out of the year and a half. And one time was the same spot twice (hard lesson to learn lol).
Yum!!!
Yum is right!
I think I've only heard of 2 things out of everything you ate. this was certainly a food video with a bit of travel thrown in. solid warning before the video. Glad I just ate. For the one with the flat waffle maker and the cheese, its literally just cheese inside the rolled "shell"?
glad to see a fresh video. take care!
Yes! It's just the cheese rolled inside - although you can add other stuff. I loved it just like that. And yes, the Yucatan has so many unique dishes to try.
Paseo de Luz looks so cool! Can you please let us know how to reserve tickets? Did you go through a tour?
We bought tickets at the entrance before it began. Arrive 30 minutes early! It's also at Chicken Itza and Uxmal right now. Enjoy!
@@EatSeeRV is it on a specific day? Also, thank you so much!
Thank you for this video!!
Where would you suggest for my Wife and I look to retire if we have to have two things...???
1. Beach.
2. Bicycle friendly.
Campeche has waterfront and bicycle friendly but not many beaches. Every other beach area will not be bicycle friendly really
You guys find the absolute best looking food everywhere you go. Jan and I haven't been to Merida yet, but you've moved it much higher on the list. Great job!
Wohoo! You guys would love it aside from the heat haha 😆 it's really great like SMA
Question Liz, You are so fluent in Spanish, I don't speak Spanish and I've tried for years but haven't been able to learn it for some reason. I'd love to visit the places you show us. Will I be able to do it without speaking Spanish? Thank you.
Yes you can! But it's definitely easier. I'll be sharing resources for learning a language that will help you get over that hurdle soon.
There's an American guy on CZcams, Paul Qroo, he speaks very good Spanish and he's an amazing teacher, check him out, btw I'm from México City so I know his Spanish is excellent.
Chilakilez changed their name! They used to be called Chilakillerz. Ha
Meridas food is Great
Es cierto
Go with me to take all the people you know, through the center of Yucatan, to see all the emblematic cantinas of the city, I am a guide
great to see you guys are back in Mexico! cool video! but why dont you know how to pronounce "Champs Elysée"? you pronounce the S on the end of Champs because the first letter of the next word is a vowel. and Elysee is EL-EE-SAY.
Haha because I never studied French or have visited 🥖 thanks for the lesson.
@@EatSeeRV but its one of the most famous places in the world and I knew how to pronounce it before I ever visited Paris. you also didnt know how to pronounce Suez Canal in your Panama video. I just find it bizarre.
We you guys are back in one of your most favorite places, Mexico. We guess the guys who aren’t good at the sword dance aren’t dancers anymore. They are eunuchs. 😀😀. Definitely do not slip!
Crazy right?! Can you imagine
I missed that he was blind folded the first time 😯
He was only blindfolded at the end. Good catch - wild right?!
🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for watching ❤️
I was going to ask you about the weather there but you said it was overcast and not to hot.I would love to live in merida but I hate high humidity.Did you see a lot of Gringos there are most of the Gringos there tourist or do they live there.
I said when we visited it was overcast. It's always humid there and very usually extremely hot. Lol 😆 it's a nice mix of both. Gringos for sure but lottttsss of Mexicans too.
The biggest downside to residency in Mexico i see is that after you move to permanent residency, you can no longer drive you US plated vehicle into Mexico. Not sure about the Baja area since you don't have to get TIP.
Yes it is a bummer. I think we've done our share of RVing there though and honestly would rather travel by car not RV if we do it again
LOL
I guess I'm not a foodie, but I really want to visit Merida and see the Mayan pyramids , cenotes and haciendas before it's changed too much
Definitely! Make a trip 😀
IT'S THE SAFEST CITY IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE SECOND IN THE WHOLE CONTINENT
Yes
Hola!
I appreciate and enjoy your helpful videos.
As to "safety", from My observations, there is an obvious police presence. However, unlike the United States, where the police are overly militarized, here the Merida municipal police are equipped with walkie-talkie radios and batons. The Merida police seem to be more social ambassadors than stormtroopers and are very helpful.
The National Guard, on the other hand, are more militarized, as I would expect, but they are not as prevelant.
I've been in El Centro for less than a full week and can easily walk wherever I go.
However, I'm more concerned with twisting an ankle on the narrow, uneven sidewalks than I am of being a random victim of crime.
This week, I'm following your trips to the cenotes and other Mayan adventures.👍 👍
Promo-SM 😳

Chochinita? :face
