🇺🇸 I hope you enjoyed Parral! I loved it! Thank you to Fernanda who recommended Gota de Miel and Dobladas, and Jesus who informed me of the meaning of the siren at the mine. I know this is quite a long video but these ones are doing well lately and Parral really deserved a long one. In fact, the next video after this is another 4K walkaround filmed the day after on Easter Sunday... as you can imagine it was quite peaceful. Regarding Easter in Mexico, I've always found it to be quite a quite occasion. *What do you do at Easter?* 🇲🇽 ¡Espero que les haya gustado Parral! ¡Me encantó! Gracias a Fernanda que me recomendó Gota de Miel y Dobladas, ya Jesús que me informó el significado de la sirena en la mina. Sé que este es un video bastante largo, pero a esos les está yendo bien últimamente y Parral realmente se lo merecía. De hecho, el siguiente video después de este es otro recorrido en 4K filmado el día después del Domingo de Pascua... como puedes imaginar, fue bastante tranquilo. Con respecto a la Semana Santa en México, siempre me ha parecido una ocasión bastante tranquila. *¿Qué haces en Semana Santa?*
thank you for a magnificent video, david. what a treat. i am very much enjoying these latest videos of norhtern mexico in places we don't usually her or see about. muchas gracias for this gift to us.
Apparently a teleférico is in the plans for Parral from Government Palace to Mina La Prieta . On it's bid For Pueblo Mágico. They're taking too long that people done stolen parts. Great Video enjoyed seeing Parral an area I spend lot's of time at. Wish you had more time. Great same day trips or day trip locations around.
Que orgullo ver mi hermosa tierra desde los ojos de un extranjero, muy agradecida por cada una de tus palabras, me habría gustado una toma desde el Cerro de la Antena, es una maravilla de la naturaleza, el ecosistema del semidesierto, o el camino que sale hasta los jales con ese enorme barranco, gracias, muchas gracias por visitarnos 😍
The most beautiful town in Mexico indeed. It's so beautiful walk and the architecture is amazing. The food is something else. And despite all the news about violence and economic problems, Parral is a great city to visit, retire and live. Greetings from Seattle WA. P.S. My wife and I were born, raised and got married there. 😁
This brought back memories. My dad's side of the family is from here. My grandparents saw Pancho Villa's body after his assassination. I would go there as a kid every Christmas to visit my grandparents. They lived in the building behind that big cathedral at the beginning. That mining siren alarm would wake me up everyday, and it lasted a long time.
I really appreciate you making this video. I’m originally from Parral. I was on tears a couple of times during the video. Thank you so much reminding me how lucky I’m for had been born in this magical city. Thank you so much.
Love it! You did Parral justice, and you're showing us that the north also hides a lot of treasures that are meant to be explore! And your humor and sarcasm are epic...! Hasta la proxima Aventura! Happy Friday!✌
Gracias por visitar mi ciudad Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua. El palacio Alvarado fue construido por Pedro Alvarado para su esposa Virginia Griensen de Alvarado. Ahí vivía y atendía su mina la Prieta, por dos de sus ventanas pagaba a sus empleados y por otra ventana daba ayuda económica a las personas de bajos recursos
Chihuahua es tan bonito y tan grande, tiene muchos pueblos que vale la pena visitar. Tanto en el deoserto como en la Sierra, que también es gigantesca.
And once again we get a taste of Mexico that other travel vloggers wouldn't dare bring us. Huge kudos to you Tao of David for opening a part of the world that's not only misunderstood, but highly underrated. Safe travels mi amigo!
Locals called parral as capital del mundo (world's capital) because there was people from all over the world,. The old world was all about mining,.. And mining is what parral was all about too
Mi querida ciudad que no e visto en 25 años. Un día volveré a morirme ahí donde crecí y fui feliz. Absolutely love my home town. Thank you so much for sharing
That was fantastic, and you covered so much! I love seeing northern Mexico! Your enthusiasm, humor, and excellent filming make these places even more epic and top tier! Looking forward to seeing more! 😄💕
Que bien que puedas hacer de ciudades no tan conocidas no tan turísticas y que hagas un documental de Parral, la época más bonita para citar Parral en en julio en dónde se hacen sus fiestas y el clima con la lluvia se ve más bonito. Y en general la ciudad es más alegre pero de todas formas que suabe que hallas hecho un vídeo de mi ciudad muchas gracias!!
Wooow! I'm from Parral and I live here. I want to congratulate you for your excellent video. I'm Palacio Alvarado guide and I'm so exited to show people how so cool my raining Parral is.
Tiene mucho encanto Parral,su gente muy amable,se come delicioso. Yo soy de Chihuahua, pero Guanajuato es Guanajuato,no tiene punto de comparación con otras ciudades coloniales mexicanas.
Nadamas lo que deja mucho que desear gto es su gente y los servicios en general. Yo viví 20 años ahí soy de la baja y gto puede llegar a ser el lugar más aburrido y monótono del mundo después de muy poco tiempo
I love this video. Parral is really of those places that tend to be overlooked. I was there when I was a kid. I'm from Guadalajara, but my mom was born in Santa Barbara, Chihuahua. It's quite close to Parral. I haven't gone to Chihuahua in a lifetime. Time to bring back memories and do beautiful places justice. Cheers 😊
Glad you liked it! I was so glad I made the effort to get the bus from Chihuahua after so many had recommended Parral the year before. It's so worth it and such an interesting city especially in terms of history. My Airbnb host was also amazing and so hospitable. She even texted me a few weeks later to say how much she loved this video. Parral forever!
I didn’t have information of this beautiful city in the north of Mexico, I will definitely include Parral in my next visit to Chihuahua state. Saludos desde Oaxaca, en el sur de México.
Parral, my home town! Beautiful views and brought back a lot of memories. I left Parral when I was 17 yrs old, but when I go there I make sure I buy plenty of the famous candies from “La Gota De Miel”
le recomiendo Santa Barbara, tal ves no sea tan espectacular como Parral pero fue la primera ciudad minera de importancia del estado, de ahi surge la riqueza de Oñate, el que colonizara Nuevo México....
My beautiful home town 😃 Legend has it that La Prieta was the richest silver mine in the world at its peak. It’s riches of course went to Spain and later the Americans in the early 1900s. My dad tells me stories of how he would go sell food to Americans who lived within the mining compound in the late 1950s. Thank you for this video, it brought back fond memories.
Thank you David. I was born in Parral but moved to New York City when I was 9 in 1963. I lived on the street where Villa was shot. The mine was still operational so I have never been there. The whistle of the mine would sound at 10pm and all good boys and girls would have to come home by that time.. All "Parralenses" are very proud of our city and its long history. We call it the capital of the world, and not ironically because of the great wealth of the silver mines. Kudos to you for pushing the envelope!!
Fascinante! Viví en Parral por diez años y jamás lo.vi con los ojos que usted lo ve, porque envueltos en la rutina, no nos percatamos de los detalles. Un abrazo! Gran trabajo!
My grandpa was a miner at the mine I'm so very proud to have been born there and I'm in tears I so want to be there. I'm proud to have a family that has met Pancho villa 👏💙
I was born in Parral brought to American when I was a little girl! I’ve never been there I don’t know the city where I was born! I love the way you documented everything! And was amazed how beautiful it is Thank you! Thanks to you I’m going to make plans to visit! Im 50 years old I was 8 when my mother left for good ! And never came back
Just came across your channel. I want to tell you: Keep up NOT being a stuck-up Know-it-all. It is soooo refreshing to see normal people enjoying and sharing! Thanks for showing Parral. I never heard of it, and now it's on my list! Thanks.
Es su opinión. Guanajuato es la capital del estado y Parral Chihuahua es una ciudad pequeña de un poco mas de 100,000 habitantes, pero eso sí llena de historia, belleza y tradición.
I really like watching your videos of lesser known places in Mexico. Like you said, popular destinations will always have plenty of social media exposure. I admire your determination to visit that statue. I'm sure it was baking hot while you were hiking uphill in search of it.
My family is from Parral. I have never seen anything, but pictures from the 20s. I heard stories of the mine, and the cattle ranches. Thank you for letting me finally see images of my family's hometown, and history. Even the Plaza bears our family name. I had no idea. Thank you!!!
Thank you David...As always, you travel for us in your videos. You have a unique way to comment on your videos that you make us travel with you YOU ARE AWESOME!!
Buenas noches, excelente video, graciar por compartir con el mundo los bellos paisajes y estructuctura arquitectonica de mi hermosa cuidad, Parral Chihuahua, como ud bien lo dijo una de las ciudades mas bellas del estado, ademas con una gran historia, faltaron algunos lugares por explorar, como el parque de la estacion del tren, la puerta del tiempo, que esta actualmente en remodelacion. Por lo cual lo invito a visitarnos el proximo mes de Julio ya que tendremos la feria de las JORNADAS VILLISTAS, conocidas a nivel mundial ya que como ud. Bien comento, se lleva a cabo el simulacro de la muerte de Villa y ademas la llegada de la gran cabalgata villista, donde se reunen mas de 10,000 jinetes y la gran concentracion motociclista... un evento digno de presumir.... cuando guste regresar y nuevamente muchas gracias!
¡Ese evento suena increíble! ¡Había visto algunas fotos de eso! Sí, absolutamente hay MUCHO que hacer en Parral, por eso estaba sin aliento la mayor parte del tiempo jaja. Pero estaba tan contenta con lo que pude ver en un día. ¡CIUDAD INCREIBLE!
I would love to visit some day, with my family. My grandfather on my dad’s side was born there “Pedro Barboza” just throwing it out there in case I happen to still have family there. Thanks David for doing this video
Great job on the video, I am not so sure about Parral being world famous for sweets, but it is well known historically in Mexico, looks like you found some really interesting places.
I was thinking the same, I just read on a random blog post about the sweets being exported and I thought it was cool. I've never seen them but then again I wasn't looking for them, so you never know! In London I remember a South African shop with specific products from there, maybe there's a Mexican one somewhere!
@@davidostrowski679 for sure it is like when you go to a restaurant and they say "World's Best" and you look at the wall and it has a picture of a random foreigner who once visited. 🤣
You forgot to visit the door of time and take a tour on the tram, I think it would be better to come when the Villista days are on, which is a festival that is celebrated at the end of July.
I loved your video!!! I'm from Parral and I'm currently living here, I just discovered your channel with this video and immediately subscribed, it's so cool. I'm glad you loved my hometown, if I had known about you before, it would had been so cool to guide you, but you did a great job introducing our city to foreigners. Congratulations!! I loved your channel and will keep on watching your interesting videos
Thanks Cynthia! I'm glad you enjoyed! I actually usually prefer to explore myself (for filming especially) because I like the aspect of travel which is about discovery, and sometimes not knowing what something is! Hopefully I can return some day!
Primero muchas gracias jamás me imaginé que fueras a Parral chihuahua mi padre era de Parral yo estudié en la escuela que está en la esquina enfrente donde está el museo de Pancho Villa y padres se casaron en la iglesia que está en la plaza principal que se ve ahí en el video enfrente del mercado mi mamá me platicó que cuando se casaron mi papá le regalo un cordero 🐑 a el sacerdote por la misa de la boda mi papá en ese tiempo era ganadero y tenía muchas vacas 🐄 muchas borregas chivas gallinas 🐓 y otros animales … muchas gracias cuídate bendiciones a donde quiera que andes .cuídate 🙏🏿
Hello! What a fabulous video from my homeland!! Parral is the most important colonial city in northern Mexico. And it is a fascinating city full of legends of buried treasures, ghosts of revolutionary men that still gallop through its little streets today and the best Dobladas you can ever taste. Thank you very much for this funny and emotional video!! Kisses!
Yo soy de Parral, me gustó tu vídeo , si tienes oportunidad de venir otra vez te recomiendo que busques un guía local, para que te explique los edificios , por ejemplo el edificio abandonado ese es el cuartel de Villa , ese lugar era una zapatería y los soldados de villa lo usaron de cuartel un tiempo, y también te recomiendo que vistes los pueblos cercanos como Santa Barbara ,Talamantes y El Valle de Allende.
That was great. I'm from a small town in Chihuahua called Santa Rosalia, i use to go to parral once a month with my mom. We would visit the catedral. Great memories. Sadly i haven't been there for the past 20 years I'm in Phoenix Arizona.
Parral is not even in the tentative list. That would be the first step, and there are places that have been in the tentative list for years, like Taxco in Guerrero.
Hi David!! What a great video You show us!! Im from Parral, Chihuahua. You have to know that You were near of a Unique spot in México. Near of that statue there's a spot called "foco tonal". I hope You have enjoyed your visit here!! Cheers!
Me hubiera gustado que hicieras un recorrido al panteón que es uno de los más viejos del norte del país, hay un recorrido turístico que hacen para el día de muertos y es genial.
Thanks for coming back to Chihuahua. Where did you learn spanish? Your accent is very good. Our state can be very different from the rest of the country, in good and bad ways as well. It's not the typical touristic spot, with sun, sand and beach, but only sand... A whole lot of it! Chihuahua can be a safe haven, where you may not find the hype and trends of other places, but natural beauty, and we've got our savage border, Juárez, that many say is ugly af, as well as dangerous, well, then they shouldn't come, we'll survive without them. Thank you again for coming back. Cheers!
@@davidostrowski679 Still, the words you say in spanish sound very good. Thanks for visiting this corner in the world, that so many avoid, unless if out of need. Warm regards!
Que padre que visitaras Parral! Por si no te dieron la explicación del pitido que escuchaste al estar en la mina es está, en Parral se sigue escuchando el pitido de la mina como una tradición pues eran los horarios en los que entraban los mineros a su jornada laboral y salían de ella, también el pitido se escucha cuando la mina esta en peligro c:, a la parte donde entraste y estaba grafitiado es donde los mineros cobraban su raya (sueldo) se le dice raya porque como ellos no sabían escribir ni leer se les pedía que pusieran una rayita para dar entendido que habían recibido su dinero, espero que con estos pequeños datos conozcas un poquito más de nuestra historia minera y vuelvas a visitar la capital del mundo y de la plata, apodado así por ser en su época la ciudad que más daba plata esperamos verte pronto por acá y ayas disfrutado nuestro bonito pueblito.
¡Gracias Paola! Estas pequeñas piezas de información local realmente marcan la diferencia. Cuando lo escuché por primera vez me sorprendió porque sonaba como una vieja sirena antiaérea de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Inglaterra. Había uno viejo al lado de mi escuela y solía alarmar porque mi escuela estaba al lado de una prisión. Cuando alguien escapaba de la prisión, la alarma sonaba. Sonaba exactamente igual. EL PARRAL ES LO MEJOR!!
hello, if you like abandon places in Chihuahua City, theres an old fabric call harina El Globo, where you can find even the machinery and documents of those days
Awesome video David. I really love your Mexico series. Is it possible to show how you travel from one town to the next. Like is it by bus? How was the trip etc. Thanks and stay safe.
Hey man yep pretty much 90% by bus. I might include that in a future video actually. Obviously if a long distance I might fly depending on whether direct or not. Like last year I flew from Los Mochis to Chihuahua as literally no other way
Hi!! Thanks for coming I live here in Parral and it's wonderful! You aré welcome here any time, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! New Subscriber!! Blessings!🙏🙂
David you are so stinking cute and hilarious. I love watching you geek out on things you are passionate about. Also, I’m loving the longer videos. I can’t wait for the next one. How do you know about Mr Hanky? You’re way too young. 🥰🇬🇧🥰
My grandmother says that the cathedral was designed by "Padre Pelayo" with the help of the faithful, the men were in charge of the workforce, while the women were in charge of bringing food to the workers. The dome is inspired by the Florence Cathedral.
Very nice shots, but I've never saw the face of Jesus, lol. Anyway, great video. Please go to San Francisco del Oro. It's a tiny town nearly Parral, old mining center with a lot of mine flying containers.
🇺🇸 I hope you enjoyed Parral! I loved it! Thank you to Fernanda who recommended Gota de Miel and Dobladas, and Jesus who informed me of the meaning of the siren at the mine.

Locals called parral as capital del mundo (world's capital) because there was people from all over the world,. The old world was all about mining,.. And mining is what parral was all about too
I heard it was because it was "La capital del mundo" because of the silver. Like @amorshcute said
@amorshcute exacto, esa es la versión original, incluso en los antiguos mapas aparecía como "la capital del mundo de la plata"

Totalmente de acuerdo y no porque sea de León, Guanajuato. Pero como bien dices no hay punto de comparación. Así sin mas sin entrar en detalles.

I would love to visit some day, with my family.
My grandfather on my dad’s side was born there “Pedro Barboza”
just throwing it out there in case I happen to still have family there.
Thanks David for doing this video
Brought back memories of my grandma and we had my grandma's funeral at the church at 5:30
Excelente!!! Gracias por tu hermoso video tan bien hecho!! Bienvenido a la capital del Mundo.. 🤗. Sucursal de cielo 😇....
Great job on the video, I am not so sure about Parral being world famous for sweets, but it is well known historically in Mexico, looks like you found some really interesting places.
I was thinking the same, I just read on a random blog post about the sweets being exported and I thought it was cool. I've never seen them but then again I wasn't looking for them, so you never know! In London I remember a South African shop with specific products from there, maybe there's a Mexican one somewhere!
@@davidostrowski679 for sure it is like when you go to a restaurant and they say "World's Best" and you look at the wall and it has a picture of a random foreigner who once visited. 🤣
This is so amazing 🥰🙏🏼 you have a home here anytime you are back, save this message 🙌
Desde COLUMBUS ,NEW MEXICO SE HACEN LAS CABALGATAS VIILISTAS ASTA LLEGAR A PARRAL..GRACIAS POR VISITAR NUESTRO ESTADO !!
You forgot to visit the door of time and take a tour on the tram, I think it would be better to come when the Villista days are on, which is a festival that is celebrated at the end of July.
I didn't forget I just didn't include them because those tram-type tours have been in other videos and yoy know what CZcams viewers are like lol
Fabulous...educational.. enlightening..... thank you
Interesting travel david
I loved your video!!! I'm from Parral and I'm currently living here, I just discovered your channel with this video and immediately subscribed, it's so cool. I'm glad you loved my hometown, if I had known about you before, it would had been so cool to guide you, but you did a great job introducing our city to foreigners. Congratulations!! I loved your channel and will keep on watching your interesting videos
Thanks Cynthia! I'm glad you enjoyed! I actually usually prefer to explore myself (for filming especially) because I like the aspect of travel which is about discovery, and sometimes not knowing what something is! Hopefully I can return some day!
Primero muchas gracias jamás me imaginé que fueras a Parral chihuahua mi padre era de Parral yo estudié en la escuela que está en la esquina enfrente donde está el museo de Pancho Villa y padres se casaron en la iglesia que está en la plaza principal que se ve ahí en el video enfrente del mercado mi mamá me platicó que cuando se casaron mi papá le regalo un cordero 🐑 a el sacerdote por la misa de la boda mi papá en ese tiempo era ganadero y tenía muchas vacas 🐄 muchas borregas chivas gallinas 🐓 y otros animales … muchas gracias cuídate bendiciones a donde quiera que andes .cuídate 🙏🏿
Omg to the ultimate jesus! 😂
Loved that!
JAJAJA!
Love your video, i live in parral and Thank you for showing ir to the Word
Hello! What a fabulous video from my homeland!! Parral is the most important colonial city in northern Mexico. And it is a fascinating city full of legends of buried treasures, ghosts of revolutionary men that still gallop through its little streets today and the best Dobladas you can ever taste. Thank you very much for this funny and emotional video!! Kisses!
JAJA me encanto tu descripcion de los dulces la concha es dulce de leche y el otro es de cajeta con nuez, la estatua del caballo es pancho villa.
Another great tribute! Great promotional video for the town….Enjoyed the drops of history.
Gracias por tus vídeos. Ahora conozco mejor mi país.!!!
Yo soy de Parral, me gustó tu vídeo , si tienes oportunidad de venir otra vez te recomiendo que busques un guía local, para que te explique los edificios , por ejemplo el edificio abandonado ese es el cuartel de Villa , ese lugar era una zapatería y los soldados de villa lo usaron de cuartel un tiempo, y también te recomiendo que vistes los pueblos cercanos como Santa Barbara ,Talamantes y El Valle de Allende.
Discúlpa que tan lejos está Santa Bárbara de Parral?
@@claudiasilva8196 20 MINUTOS ES MUY CERCA

Gracias!
Me gustaría conocer por allá
That was great. I'm from a small town in Chihuahua called Santa Rosalia, i use to go to parral once a month with my mom. We would visit the catedral. Great memories. Sadly i haven't been there for the past 20 years I'm in Phoenix Arizona.
Saludos gracias por visitarnos!?!?❣️
Hi David, as always very enjoyable video about El Parral and Chihuahua, portrait of the hidden places that generally we don’t have to be in.
Well done! You are the best 🎉
I read somewhere that they want to make it a Ciudad Patrimonio. Will see if that happens & what it will look like later. 🤔
Parral is not even in the tentative list. That would be the first step, and there are places that have been in the tentative list for years, like Taxco in Guerrero.
I loved the Bourdainesque intro.
EXCELENTE VIDEOS LOS ADORO MIL GRACIAS APRECIO TU ARDUO TRABAJO EL FINAL DEL VIDO ME IMPACTO ESTA HERMOSISMO MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS TAO
Wikipedia says Parral averages 19 inches of rain annually, most of that in the summer. So not exactly a desert.
Oh come on it's pretty obvious I was purposely exaggerating for dramatic purposes
What a spectacular and professional video you made. My beautiful Parralito. I subscribe to your channel. Blessings! 🙏
Un saludo a todos los paisanos de mi querido Parral, tantos recuerdos..
Saludos de parral chihuahua
Gracias por este hermoso reportaje...
Gracias por visitar parral hermoso.
Parral Capital del mundo sucursal del cielo
Hi David!! What a great video You show us!! Im from Parral, Chihuahua. You have to know that You were near of a Unique spot in México. Near of that statue there's a spot called "foco tonal".
I hope You have enjoyed your visit here!! Cheers!
Thanks man, I loved Parral! A real surprise. People have been recommending since I was in Chihuahua last year so it's good to finally get there!
Me hubiera gustado que hicieras un recorrido al panteón que es uno de los más viejos del norte del país, hay un recorrido turístico que hacen para el día de muertos y es genial.
Thanks for coming back to Chihuahua.
Where did you learn spanish? Your accent is very good.
Our state can be very different from the rest of the country, in good and bad ways as well. It's not the typical touristic spot, with sun, sand and beach, but only sand... A whole lot of it! Chihuahua can be a safe haven, where you may not find the hype and trends of other places, but natural beauty, and we've got our savage border, Juárez, that many say is ugly af, as well as dangerous, well, then they shouldn't come, we'll survive without them.
Thank you again for coming back. Cheers!
Oh yes so much sand! I loved Juárez, totally my kind of place! Re Spanish, I've never learnt it, purely immersion!! Jaja
@@davidostrowski679 Still, the words you say in spanish sound very good. Thanks for visiting this corner in the world, that so many avoid, unless if out of need. Warm regards!
La finca abandona era el cuartel del general Francisco Villa
Que padre que visitaras Parral! Por si no te dieron la explicación del pitido que escuchaste al estar en la mina es está, en Parral se sigue escuchando el pitido de la mina como una tradición pues eran los horarios en los que entraban los mineros a su jornada laboral y salían de ella, también el pitido se escucha cuando la mina esta en peligro c:, a la parte donde entraste y estaba grafitiado es donde los mineros cobraban su raya (sueldo) se le dice raya porque como ellos no sabían escribir ni leer se les pedía que pusieran una rayita para dar entendido que habían recibido su dinero, espero que con estos pequeños datos conozcas un poquito más de nuestra historia minera y vuelvas a visitar la capital del mundo y de la plata, apodado así por ser en su época la ciudad que más daba plata esperamos verte pronto por acá y ayas disfrutado nuestro bonito pueblito.
¡Gracias Paola! Estas pequeñas piezas de información local realmente marcan la diferencia. Cuando lo escuché por primera vez me sorprendió porque sonaba como una vieja sirena antiaérea de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Inglaterra. Había uno viejo al lado de mi escuela y solía alarmar porque mi escuela estaba al lado de una prisión. Cuando alguien escapaba de la prisión, la alarma sonaba. Sonaba exactamente igual. EL PARRAL ES LO MEJOR!!
Welcome to Parralito Llovedor 🤩
hello, if you like abandon places in Chihuahua City, theres an old fabric call harina El Globo, where you can find even the machinery and documents of those days
Omg I literally went past there earlier on the way to the bus station!
@@davidostrowski679 yes thats the one
I was thinking as I went past 'I thought that was a cake shop' lol
Thanks for show walk hope go there
The next time we hope show u another exiting places on are city thanks for ur visit and see u next time, God be whit U always.
Awesome video David. I really love your Mexico series. Is it possible to show how you travel from one town to the next. Like is it by bus? How was the trip etc. Thanks and stay safe.
Hey man yep pretty much 90% by bus. I might include that in a future video actually. Obviously if a long distance I might fly depending on whether direct or not. Like last year I flew from Los Mochis to Chihuahua as literally no other way
Hi!! Thanks for coming I live here in Parral and it's wonderful! You aré welcome here any time, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! New Subscriber!! Blessings!🙏🙂
David you are so stinking cute and hilarious. I love watching you geek out on things you are passionate about. Also, I’m loving the longer videos. I can’t wait for the next one. How do you know about Mr Hanky? You’re way too young. 🥰🇬🇧🥰
Haha SCREAMING! I'm so old I was alive during Soviet times LOL so I'm sure I can remember South Park. Not as good as the Simpsons though LOL
@@davidostrowski679 OMG. I was thinking of Gumby. Never mind.
My grandmother says that the cathedral was designed by "Padre Pelayo" with the help of the faithful, the men were in charge of the workforce, while the women were in charge of bringing food to the workers. The dome is inspired by the Florence Cathedral.
Awesome! Muchas gracias to your abuela!
You are fucking awesome. Your content is so refreshing.
thanks albie! i purposely don't watch other travel channels to avoid unconsciously copying. It seems to work!
Me encanto tu video!!! Parral esta hermoso!!
Thanks for shearing another amazing video
Mi Chihuahua ,siempre tan emotivos y tan luchadores somos los VENCEDORES DEL DESIERTO!!
Very nice shots, but I've never saw the face of Jesus, lol. Anyway, great video. Please go to San Francisco del Oro. It's a tiny town nearly Parral, old mining center with a lot of mine flying containers.
Haha maybe Jesus was busy because it was Easter lol. I left the next day back to Chihuahua I'm afraid, in real-time I'm in Creel!
