Overpriced

Hey, I like that place too!

What you forgot to mention is that (1) these massive blooms of sargassum only began arriving a decade or so ago and that (2) the cause has been determined to be the influx of agricultural fertilizer runoff into the Congo, Amazon and Orinoco rivers which feed the algae and leads to blooms. So people are the cause of this mess.

Nice place Grampa enjoy your stay in Merida .

Cool video! And if you want more views and real viewers, check out for services

Was just there last week, I couldn't wait to go see this town, I have never in my entire life seen sooo much trash along the stretch of the streets and the edge between the beach and city ! So much seaweed, the city is starting to smell !

I really loved walking around the ruins!

I really enjoyed viewing your meanderings! So much to see and loved the Monte Alban ruins!

Thank you I can’t wait to get there!

I’ve been to Mexico several times and I love the vibe in Puerto Morelos. I’ll be in Puerto for two weeks this November celebrating my birthday 🎉👙⛱️🇲🇽

Hi! Glad you enjoyed the video. I thoroughly enjoyed staying in Oaxaca and I’m even considering moving there permanently next year. Such a wonderful city! 😊

Wow!

You are winning. Keep it up

This is a village I am thinking to retire too. Great commentary. Thank you

When I ran into you last month on 5th Ave in Playa, I had just celebrated my 50th birthday. If I'm still around then, I hope to be living in Mexico well into my 80's just as you! Enjoy!

Maybe one day, you'll add travel to Panama to your list of places to visit very affordably. We are in Puerto Armuelles, oceanfront at the Pacific, the historic town largely developed by the Chiquita Banana company, but they pulled out I believe in 2008. The town is still trying to economically recover from the loss of those jobs, but is truly coming along with infrastructure improvements, and beautification of the town and beachfront. We feel extremely safe here and there is very little crime other than "crimes of opportunity" where things left out in a yard may disappear. But we don't worry about break ins, nor about crime againsr us, The overall crime rate in Panama is very low, and we feel safe even walking at night, and even in the cities. Being aware, being friendly, looking folks in the eye and saying hello or have a great day in Spanish is enough to help folks realize you are "trustworthy" and worth treating well. Back to beautification, Chiriqui (our province), Baru (our district) and Puerto Armuelles are doing many things to help improve the region and Puerto Armuelles and especially targeting beautification and trying to attract more retirees, more ecotourisn, and more business investment here. Puerto recently installed a Cinta Costero walkway and bikeway along the beachfront. g.co/kgs/FGLV4bZ They have been rebuilding the fisherman's wharf, which has been in severe disrepair. They plan to add markets for fishermen, farmers, and craft vendors there, last I heard. it's quite pretty now, compared to how it was before some of these projects. There are plenty of affordable accommodations *AirBNB* is a good resource, or just asking folks like us. Booking.com is less likely to know of many of the places here, as many folks don't list their rentals, they just rely on word of mouth. But those who do list tend so use AirBNB. Perhaps a place for your to consider traveling in the future.....

Way to go grampa have fun !

Paul and I really enjoyed this video Don. Your videography skills are truly growing, especially in your editing work. Love the mix of video sections with still photos, and the wide variety of interesting transitions you've included. I'm still a relative beginner (okay intermediate) on doing a good job taking the videos in the first place, and then skillfully editing, plus including still photos, and I don't do much yet with transitions. YOU INPSIRE ME!

great job!

Welcome to Bharat grandpa❤ I'm sure you'll be loved and welcomed plus you'll find yourself and God here. Have fun and keep learning!

You are so cute grampa! And so courageous to travel at this age and keep learning. You will never age and have a long and healthy life for sure

Thank you for sharing this amazing experience 😊

It was nice meeting you on 5th yesterday! Good luck with your next adventures 😊

To many people

Can you please share what the name of the palapa was where you stayed?

Hi Grampa, I hope you were not in town when Beryl hit, but I'm glad to see that you are OK !

Playa del Carmen, located along Mexico's Riviera Maya, is a vibrant coastal town renowned for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and lively atmosphere. Once a quiet fishing village, it has transformed into a bustling tourist destination offering a blend of natural beauty, cultural experiences, and modern amenities. The town features the famous Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue), a pedestrian thoroughfare lined with shops, restaurants, bars, and nightlife venues, providing a dynamic backdrop for visitors. Playa del Carmen also serves as a gateway to nearby attractions such as the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum and the island of Cozumel. With its charming mix of traditional Mexican culture and contemporary comforts, Playa del Carmen attracts travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure. Great video, Don Walker!

nice thank you
