In this video:
-We take you for a ride up the mountain on the funicular

-Walk you through a traditional Mexican mercado
-Show you the main garden in the city of Guanajuato
-Enjoy dinner on a terrace overlooking the main plaza

We're driving around the world and community is really important (and necessary) for us! Unlike most people, we can't just call up a local friend and say, "Hey you wanna grab a coffee?" We're essentially out here by ourselves. So we ask you to join our small but growing community that helps us navigate life as friends. If you would be willing to invite us to the equivalent of a cup of coffee once a month, we invite you to join our Patreon here: www.patreon.com/hourlesslife
We'd love to get to know you and to have you as part of our special community that helps us get around the world. ~ Eric + Brittany + Caspian | Hourless Life
Glad to see you get time on you own sometimes, glad ye enjoyed your date night. Caspian is amazing 1000 books before he is 5, well done awesome boy. Thanks for bringing me on your travels. Stay safe and enjoy
Ina! Good to see you again. I'll pass on your congrats to Caspian. Glad to have you on the journey with us. What an amazing city right? ~ Eric
Tortas Don Beto is FABULOUS!!
Hey! What a great user name! Are you here full time in the city? ~ Eric
You did such an excellent job of this video Eric! Thank you so much to you Brittany and Caspian for letting us join in with your day.
What a vibrant place indeed! I actually felt like I was right there with you guys.
Congratulations Caspian 👏👏👏 👏👏👏 on reaching your goal of reading 1000 books before you turn 5yrs old.
Tough challenge but you really are totally AWESOME 🤩.
Very well done 👏 … We are all so proud of you.
It was lovely to hear him saying the ‘Grace before meals’ at breakfast. It’s just a testament to you Eric and Brittany for the excellent parents you are to him.
The concert hall you were in was beautiful. It reminded me of the one I was in in Prague… and so glad Brittany got her balcony seat 😀.
Eric thank you again for taking us with you on your incredible journey. I’m loving every second.
Did anyone guess correctly how much it cost to spend the night at your favourite campsite?
Roll on the next video and safe travels 🙏🏻 🚘
Hi Marilyn! Thank you for the kind comments. I'll pass on your congrats to Caspian. He's really proud of having completed his goal. We've really been enjoying our time in Guanajuato and it is hard to believe that we have less than 30 days left in this magical city. I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos. Our next one should be up on Thursday if all goes well. This one was tough to research but somebody had to do it. As far as guessing correctly, I don't think anyone has yet. But most folks have guessed really high! Much love from Guanajuato! ~ Eric
Congratulations, Caspian!
Aww thanks! He's a great little student! ~ Eric
Great job Caspian!!
Aww thanks! ~ Eric
Great video. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it Esther! Much more to come. Welcome to our community. ~ Eric
I am really enjoying this adventure! All of the colors around the city bring me so much joy! I love that the city is alive!! Congrats to Caspian on reading 1000 books!!
Thank you Sandra! It is such a beautiful and colorful city! I can't encourage folks highly enough to make a visit. Thank you for the congrats to Caspian on his accomplishment, I'll pass that along to him. Glad to have you as part of our community. ~ Eric
Thank you, I love the video because it really makes me want to visit Guanajuato.
Mickey, you absolutely should! Try and find a place to stay in the historic city center and you won't be disappointed! It is STILL our favorite city we've visited so far. ~ Eric
Thank you Eric, I also appreciate how you share your faith in Jesus Christ in the video
Appreciate that. It is who we are first. God bless. ~ Eric
First to like and watch cool. Always enjoy your videos because your get the best out of life and have an amazing son name Caspian. As always stay safe and take care.🙂🙏
Thanks Franklin. You've been with us for a minute now. Glad you are getting to know us and we're getting to know you a little too. Always appreciate you saying hello. ~ Eric
Congratulations Caspian!! Way to go!! Beautiful views and love the workout class lol!
That was pretty funny right Hollie! Cool view though! ~ Eric
Excellent video and very well researched historical info. I have spent several months in Guanajuato and never ate at Tortas Don Beto. I’m going back next month and will give it a try. Thanks.
Tom, if you like breakfast sandwiches, go in the morning! Those are my favorite. Enjoy and I’m a little jealous. ~ Eric
Awesome,las tortas, la piñata ( don’t forget Los niños) t theatre and los churros
We LOVE Guanajuato. Even down here now in Peru, there isn't a week that goes by that we don't talk about that marvelous city. ~ Eric
Absolutely joyful! Thank you for sharing your journey!
Thank you for joining us. Glad you enjoyed it! ~ Eric
Congratulations on your 1000th book, Caspian! That's impressive!
Thank you Mia. Believe it or not, I pass along all of these congratulatory comments along to him so that he is encouraged by them. May I ask what area of the world you are writing from? We like to show him on a map where the commenters are writing from. He loves looking at the map of the world with us. ~ Eric
So awesome...thanks for sharing!!
Appreciate you taking the time to watch Bo. Welcome to our community if I haven't welcomed you already. ~ Eric
wow, this brought back memories of living in guanajuato in 2006. thanks and bless!
Wow Tom! What an amazing city to live in. It will be hard to leave in a few days, but we have wanderlust to the extreme, so off we go on the continued adventure around the world. ~ Eric
@@HourlessLife Amazed by what you guys are doing! Keep on wandering!
Wonderful! Keep staying safe.
Thank you Ed! Will do! ~ Eric
I’m so happy I found this channel ❣️
We are too E Covy! Welcome to our channel and our journey. Community is really important to us and we do our best to respond to every comment. Great to have you along for the ride! ~ Eric
Awesome video I visited this city way back in 2005 and went to the alley of the kiss they called it callejon del beso it's a well know story in that area you guys might want to check it out ..Cant wait for more videos be safe guys have fun
Thanks Danny! The alley of the kiss, or Callejon del beso is on our list! ~ Eric
Now I need to have a torta...
Bruh... seriously... 100% worth the drive alone. ~ Eric
@@HourlessLife - Definitely on my radar now! The sights and sounds alone were enough, and that little fruit stand looked fantastic!! But those tortas, wow. - My wife & I had some great food/ experiences in Zihuatanejo/ Barra de Potosi and would love to go back, but it looks like we'll have a few other places to stop along the way!! Thanks for taking us all on this journey with you.
Found you guys through Mav and am glad I did!
Hey Alexander! Glad you are here. Mav is good people. We keep trying to get him down here for a visit. But haven't been able to make it happen yet. Hopefully someday. Caspian had a great time with him at the Grand Canyon as did we. ~ Eric
My mom makes tortas like that every now and then. I totally understand.
Is she adopting? ~ Eric
*It's nice to see this video recorded in family, would be nice to see things from the point of view of the young gentleman so, when he will grow up for sure he will cherish many good memories shared with his loving parents*
Someday Caspian may decide to do his own videos. We'd love that. But we definitely want it to be his decision to do so. Glad you enjoyed the video! ~ Eric
@@HourlessLife
Thank you for the answer, didn't expect it! 👍
Sorry my bad I didn't explain myself
I meant what's his take on things, how he learns new stuff in a better environment, what's his take in new costumes, food, and how he reacts to new friends of his age etc as it's more interesting to have ideas how to spend time with the little ones in Mexico in an once in a life time opportunities, people, places, colors and of course... food!
Enjoy it a lot! 🙏
Great job Caspian!
I'll pass along your kudos Trippin! ~ Eric
Myself, my wife and my four kids just got back from GTO. Gonna miss being able to feed my entire family for $15 US dlls. 😀
Hope you enjoyed your journey there! We are in Costa Rica now and STILL talk about GTO all the time. What a great city! ~ Eric
👍
👍 ~ Eric
Hey love the vids keep it up if you guys ever come to Mexico city I'd love you give you guys some crazy food and places
Orale Axel. Vamos a Puebla, y a lo mejor tomamos autobus a C.D. una fin de semana para visitar. ~ Eric
Are you sure that coffee dragon isn’t a swan? I think it’s a swan.
Lol! It may have been. We are not coffee art experts by any means hehe. But the hot chocolate was really amazing! ~ Eric
Eric: Makes Gen-X vs Millennial jokes at Brittany's expense before dinner.
Also Eric: Watches a concerto through the lens of his camera like a Gen-Z.
Thuglife. ~ Eric
The house your were staying in, in this video. Is the owners name Seth? It looks like his house. We own property in Guanajuato and he is a friend of ours. My wife's family is from Zamora in the state of Michoacan.
Hi Edge. No idea. It was an airbnb and our host was a lady named Cris. But it was a great house that is currently for sale. ~ Eric
@@HourlessLife Yes Chris is his wife.
I liked the location of this property. Do you know around how much it would be to rent it for a month? i am from Zamora Mich
I liked the location of this property. How much did you pay?
I think it was around $55 USD per night (with a monthly rate) Super great location though. ~ Eric
Awesome day, beautiful town. Reading is knowledge and knowledge is power, congrats to Caspian for reading 1000 book and he's not even 5 yet.
"Four and eleven twelfths" 😂 ~ Eric
Does Guanajuato feel like a safe city for a woman traveling alone? I notice more tagging and narrow alleyways than in San Miguel or Queretaro. Loved the video!
Daisy, we've never felt our security or safety threatened here in Guanajuato. Just like any other city there are going to be areas you don't want to hang out in. But in the historic center it seems pretty safe. We've seen a lot of solo women walking around. Brittany has gone out to a couple theater performances and museums on her own too. Obviously I can't give you direct advice and you have to make your own decision, but we've been having a beautiful time with no issues. Welcome to our channel and glad you are here. Hopefully my answer is helpful to you. ~ Eric
@@HourlessLife Yes, thank you!
I was in Guanajuato last summer and there were several women traveling alone. None of us had any problems, just be smart and check your surroundings. There are so many singles there I’m sure you can find someone to walk with you. I’m going back for three months next month.
do you know the Cervantino in OCTOBER
I mean the party in the capital of Guanjuato
people come from all over the world
Hi Sherry, was not aware of that. Sounds fun! ~ Eric
If you want to build your channel you need to do daily vlogs, show people the real life you live, the good an bad. Once a week is not enough, you guys just shoot us the good mostly, that's not your every day life. Let us experience life with you. I like your vlogs but want to see more real life good an bad struggle's. Much love to you and your family.
Hi Nicole. Appreciate your comment and suggestion. Let me explain a little. It usually takes between 1-3 days to film one of our videos and 2.5 days to edit and process it and prepare it for CZcams. First off there is no way in which we could or would produce a daily video. Even an unedited one. Here's why: We're driving around the world and we actually want to enjoy it and not live our daily life behind a lens or spend it behind the editing screen. So we've committed to try and do one video a week which is a LOT of work. As far as showing the good and the bad. We try and show what our life is really like. Second, we're honestly not that dramatic of a family. We hardly ever have conflict and when we do, we quickly resolve it. Truth is that we are a really close family with very little drama. What you see in the videos is us. On our Patreon we do post nearly daily and talk more intimately about the challenges and "real life" stuff that happens from day to day. But here in our videos what you are going to see is what we can produce while still enjoying the journey ourselves. If you watched our La Huasteca Part 2 video, I actually talk a little bit about our channel and how I don't really care if we become a huge channel or not. That really isn't the main goal. The main goal is to share our story of our drive around the world. The people who I'd like to have here as part of our community are the ones who are interested in the story and journey. This is who we are. Hope that helps give a little perspective and as always glad to have you here. If you'd like more of the day to day, and to hear some of the struggles that we're happy to share, that happens mostly on our Patreon and I'd invite you to join us there even for a month to check it out if you are interested. www.patreon.com/hourlesslife

$1,000 a month living expense ?
Con 20 mil pesos por mes vivo en mexico ?
7 mil renta
2 mil - luz, agua, celular
4 mil - comida
2 mil - transporte
5 mil - paseo
-----------
Hey there, thanks for your question. I've heard of retired people who say they live on $500/month in the U.S. (in an RV), so I'm sure there are places in Mexico where you can live on $1,000. Mexico is huge and diverse, so the cost of living can vary widely. By doing your research on the right place to live and having the dedication to stay on budget, I'm sure it can be done. -B
Hahaha churroo galore
So many churros! ~ Eric
Please tell me what kind of tablet you have for your son. I need guidance! 😫
Sorry for the delay Heather. He has the Amazon Fire tablet for kids. It has been pretty robust and has "suffered" through quite a bit of use lol. ~ Eric
