Awesome video my friend, thanks for the information! Salud from Izamal.
Salud, amigos! I hope you thoroughly enjoyed Yucatan's Yellow Town 🟡
"Here we are at this restaurant looking to have some fresh seafood or some ceviche"..........cut to 7 hour later, Bridget is projectile vomiting all over our hotel room. 😂How fun to revisit that meal and watch myself eating those fish tacos, blissfully unaware of what was to come. This was such a fun trip despite my illness. And what a blast to see Larry in the wild!
Jesus! I forgot about that! 😁 I didn't put two and two together that those were THE tacos 😂😂
Jajajaja, totally a Romancing the stone moment
Nice. Do you guys think is a good retirement town!!
I think it depends on what you're looking for. I can see it being a bit too small after a while if you're used to a city. There are different things to do out of town though (Bacalar, Belize, the Riviera Maya) that are within a reasonable driving distance.
This is Mexico
