I got the edge model with simultaneous translation in earbuds on Amazon Prime day. Price was 259. Could not pass it up at that price. Likely they will drop to under $200 with my luck.
omg the way you were so happy about your hat made me so happy too Simone hahahaha 🥰🥰🥰🥹🥹🥹🥹
She wanted that hat and she got it 🤭. It is actually a nice hat
your Spanish is getting so good Simone!!!!!🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 so proud of you!!!
Aaaah thank you so so sooo much Annastayziaa 🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗 I've realised that consistency over intensity is definitely the way to go when learning a new language 🙏🙏
I love how Giovanny tells us a little bit about the story of the republic of Yucatan. if you guys ever want to make a more in-depth video telling the story of Yucatan and the republic of Yucatan, I'd definitely watch! hehe ^_^
That would be amazing. I will have to do a lot of research 🤭🤭. Thank you for your support amiga 🙏🏼
omg the tortilla ladies are so beautiful 🥰 and adorable hehehhe
Yes they are, they thought we were taking pictures 🤭🤭
I know I won’t enjoy the hot weather at all but it is a beautiful place! Winter time definitely will be the best time to go. Thanks for taking us with you.
Hola Grisell 👋👋
Yes, the weather can be really exhausting 🤭🤭. Absolutely, November to January are the best months 🙏🙏. Aww, it is our pleasure, THANK YOU, for watching, and COMMENTING means a lot to us ❤️❤️
Sending you all the great vibes amiga 🫂🫂
@@ForTheRoadTravels I am going to Playa del Carmen the second week of October and I can’t wait.
Another great video! We lived in Mérida for 6 months in 2022 and that’s when I discovered your channel ❤ It’s a magical place but yes very, very hot. But also incredibly safe and welcoming. We loved going to Progreso beach to cool down. Also, dinning on Paseo de Montejo is amazing. Really brought back some pleasant memories watching your video. Can’t wait to visit again. Keep up the excellent content.
Hola Mako, 👋👋
How are you? Thank you so much for your comment.
Aww, that's so sweet, thank you so much. Yes, we love Merida and if it was not because of the weather we would move there. Progreso is lovely but even more when there are not cruise ships because it can get crowded 🤭🤭.
Oh yes, Paseo de Montejo is so lovely and we love the are so much. We are so happy our video brought you back memories, it is actually so sweet to read.
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. 🙏🙏
Progresso beach? Murky water water compared to playa del carmen. No bathrooms, no food options. Long industrial pier which is quite ugly. Don't waste your time at this "beach".
Great video guys! I can't wait to visit Merida some day!
Angela, amiga thank you so much for your comment. You will love Merida specially for the food! 😋. We hope you are doing amazing, we are sending you a big big hug 🫂🤗
Amazing video, thank you both! Keep up the great work 😊
Hola Carolyn, thank you very much for watching and for your comment. We really appreciate it, as well for your kind words about our content 🙏🙏❤️
On the first our our three Mexico trips, my wife and I spent several days in Parque de Santa Ana. I could have easily unpacked and stayed!
This park is so lovely. We really like Merida but we preferred it during winter 🤭🙏🏼. Thanks for watching and commenting amigo 🫶
Santa Lucia Park is a personal favorite. There is a delicious chocolate bar there.
Really? We missed it 😞😞
Hi guys great to see ya we were in Merida in 2011 and man has it changed it looks even nicer now we are gonna have to go back see ya in the next one
Yes, definitely has changed and it’s looking even prettier. Thanks for watching amigos it is very nice always to read your comments 🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️
Great video guys, love Merida ❤
Hola amigo, we are glad you enjoyed our video 🙏🏼🙏🏼. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
The Mayan Mart in Centro is a must see.
They have plenty things to shop 🤭🤩🤩
Thank you for the video 😊
Our pleasure 🫶🇲🇽 Thank you for leaving a comment Shawn 🤗
Gracias !! Nos encantó el paseo por Mérida. Ya tenemos otro lugar que queremos visitar el año que viene. Sigan poniendo videos que nos encanta!
Hola Charlie, 🙏🙏
Muchas gracias, si Merida es muy bonito les recomendamos visitarlo de Noviembre a Enero cuando el clima esta agradable. Muchas gracias por tus lindas palabras, en verdad nos motiva a seguir creando mas contenido!! ❤️
@@ForTheRoadTravels nosotros estábamos en playa car en abril. Nos encantó tanto que regresamos el próximo abril.
I was in Merida in September last year and it was super hot. Beautiful city. Love your videos.
Yes, pretty much the entire year is so hot!! But from end of November all the way to January the climate is way better 🙏🏼. Thank you so much Carol for your kids worlds we are so happy to know that you love our videos ❤️❤️🫶
Love the hat looks cute on you! I wear a similar one daily in the summer on our walks SOOOOO nice
Ah thank you K'Lee - I was so happy with this find 🙏🥰 OMG yes, they're sooo good for coverage and also breathable 🙏☀️
Great video 😊
Thank you Amanda ♥️🫶
amazing. I'can't imagine how hot it was there, since it was very hot when I was there in the spring.
Hola amigo,
Thank you so much. Oh my.. it was incredibly hot. The air felt like when you open an oven in your face, the evenings are more bearable, but during the day it can be extremely hot.
Thank you again for watching and commenting 🙏🙏🤩
April and May are the hottest months, it's 78° as I type this, summer is always cooler than Spring, always.
what's the name of the cute clothing store? 😍 please and thank you!!!
ah, Caruso! got it! hehe
Yes, it is right in downtown Merida
I love Merida,but the heat can get crazy, the issue for me is it is heat with humidity
Hola Pedroza,
Thank you for commenting in our video 🙏. Funny enough we found out that Merida heat is more dry and the heat here in PDC has more humidity which is crazy, and helps here is the breeze, Merida breeze is like an oven 🤭🤭. Thanks for watching again 🤩
Wow the linen clothing is very affordable there it's triple that here
I was honestly shocked at how well priced everything was 🥲🙏 I usually buy my linen clothing from H&M or Zara, which are definitely not this affordable 🤭 Plus, the attention to detail on all there garments was great - I'm so happy with the quality of my shorts 🌸🙏
Good for You for not waiting until you retire to travel the world.👍👍
Only 48 hours in Merida?! 😢
There is so much to experience in Merida.
Although I endured 21 days where the daytime temperatures did not drop below 104°f (the evenings are more pleasant), I was able to experience La Nocha Blanco, and the recent presidential election. Mexico's federal election was held on a sunday, yet the entire weekend the sale of alcohol was prohibited. 😢
I'm returning for more first hand research.
Enjoy your travels!

Definitely we needed more hours, 48 hours were not enough but it was the time we got from work, we enjoyed and we plan in the near future to visit the city, but most likely will be during December 🤭🤭. Thank you amigo for watching and commenting 🫶🙏
Giovanny trying to cool off with some water to the face made me lol I live in Texas and can relate to this cooling off technique 😂
Hahaha I think some ice cold water on the face is the only effective way to cool down 🥲 We've heard that it gets super hot and humid in Texas 🥲🤭☀️
❤❤❤
Gracias amiga 😍🫶❤️
Your man should have talked about green gold. It's quite interesting. Merida at one time was the WEALTHIEST city on the planet due to green gold. There is even speculation that the word gringo came from the locals trying to pronounce green gold.
The Henequen era, that would be for another future video 🤭🤭
Breakfast is 11.5 US and you say its cheaper than the tourist spots? Yikes. You have missed some of the larger eating spots for locals, like plaza de Santiago. There another one north of the cathedral too. It amazes me how they can eat heaps of turkey and pork and onions at 7AM. My delicate stomach can't handle much more than cocco puffs at that hour of the day LOL. So far I have not seen that immense market southeast of the cathedral. I mean its so large it would take 2 days to see everything. As I recall they even have a second floor. You need to do a video just on that MEGA indoor/outdoor market. Mercado San Benito is the name.
That’s true and even drinking Coca Cola first thing in the morning too 🤭🤭
Hi mama ily
Hiiii K'Lee 🥰🥰🤗🤗
HAY GUYS, NICE SEANERY. DON'T WORRY MUCH ABOUT THE REMODELING; IT LOOKS NICER THERE THAN IN A POCKET. HOPEFULLY, NOW, AFTER THE ELECTION, WE ALSO WILL SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS. TAKE CARE, PEACE FROM REEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO...
Hola amigos,
Absolutely, we are excited to see how the remodeling ends up to be, looks like they are doing a great job. Sending all the great vibes all the way to Creel, Chihuahua.
