Day in My Life in Ajijic, Mexico (Part 2)

I'm a solo female living in Mexico and this is what my life is like in Ajijic at Lake Chapala (farmer's market, delicious food, shopping, and more!)
❁❁Want to learn Spanish? I recommend this course: www.rocketlanguages.com/spani...
In this Mexico vlog, I'm exploring the Wednesday Market in Ajijic, which is an open-air market filled with food (like my favorite barbacoa tacos!), clothes, jewelry, artisan products, fresh produce, and so much more. Later, I head to one of my favorite restaurants in Ajijic, Vegan Town with gluten-free pizza. Then, I continue around town on foot in search of a print & copy place and a store for birthday goodies!
What do you think of my life in Mexico? Let me know in the comments if I can answer any questions for you.

Happy birthday day, And thanks for making such great videos of my home state.

[@alvarolimon13]

I'd like to invite you to make a video about how mexican owners in LA FLORESTA live.

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

I love the embroidered women's blouses much like what Frida Kahlo wore, and I like also stuff like this too: m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710NO4ZIvxL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg

16:23 is such a posh view of your ... well, posh, lovely apartment. The entry hall is stun-ning!

[@marthadeleon1347]

Hi Maddie. Love your videos. I'm not sure when the season is, but the Guamuchil gives a fruit ( I think it's considered a fruit 🤔) that is really tasty. It comes in a pod, kinda cottony looking with a dark pit. I'm sure if you ask around the tiangis they can fill you in on the details. Hope you give it a try.

[@delinquense]

Maddie's got her mojo back. You sound and look so much better ... like you once did. You go girl, 2023! I've actually started watching you again.

[@atlantauncut]

Girl, I am so impressed with your Spanish...you have an accent which is normal but you are very fluent and I see you totally understand what they are saying. I love watching you speak Spanish.

[@MaddieGold]

Thanks Cesar! I'm determined to be completely fluent

I am so enjoying your solo videos. I am a solo female and it’s lovely to see your adventures

[@ylangylang268]

Hi Maddie! just wanted to say that i watched you in 2018 and you were one of 2 channels that inspired me to visit Mexico, and i did in late 2018. I visited Guadalajara and I loved it! This morning I woke up and for some reason Tangerine Travels popped into my mind, i hadn't seen any of your videos since 2020, since i hadn't subscribed, but today I will! So i looked you up and was saddened by the news. I just want to say that you are a brave and courageous woman, don't change, ever, for anyone. Also, i watched and enjoyed your videos because of YOU! you are an inspiration! stay true to your heart! I love all your new videos:) thank you for your continued travels and for sharing most of those moments with all of us!

[@uncapabrew4807]

Guadalajara Was not good experience for my kid. Flying out from there after visiting other destination. Apparently drug cartel arrested And yeah She was freaking out . Not a normal riot People shooting Up bang bang. I’ve been watching hers and others too - so when I retire. Soo not sure . Keep watching 😅😊😊😂😂

[@jamesandalotofgames9211]

Your actually living out what everyone else dreams of , just leaving and starting over… congrats

[@headab9027]

I love listening to natural interactions with you speaking Spanish. Make your own pinata! it's not hard and you can make funny shapes etc. You can fill it with 'adult' items. Happy Birthday!

[@Beto_Avila]

Those are some delicious looking tacos Maddie, you are lucky to be there !!!

[@terrilicht8714]

You had me at tacos! My mom lives near Ajijic and wanted to take me to that market. I will beg her next time I am there!

[@MaddieGold]

Do it!!

[@tonynes3577]

One thing about shopping in Mexico; You enjoy what they have, such as the original non processed food / tacos but you also have the Walmart, Costco and Home Depot to go to. Enjoy Mexico!

[@wastedfilm]

I absolutely LOVE your videos, Maddie! Next time I go to GDL to visit my family, I will make it a point to go to Ajijic!

[@MaddieGold]

Thank you Lola! Hope you have fun when you come to Ajijic :)

[@carlbutts6937]

Hello Maddie this is Carl and you never cease to amaze me. Again you educate, inspire, explore and share adventure with your viewers. I’ve enjoyed a front row seat vicariously through your “Golden” personality. From Bernal to Ajijic standing right by your side. I call you the “Queen” because your so classy and in control. The way your move through the shopping 🛍️ areas and all your “Fans” say hello and are Star Struck seeing you in public. Watching you eat street tacos is such a great “Maddie Grubbing” experience no muss, no fuss just a dainty chomp without a drip of salsa😮. Yes a true Aquarius as Congratulations are in order because today being Sunday February 5th is your birthday 🎂🎉🎁🎊and you are so gorgeous at 31 years while appearing to the naked eye only 21 years old ❤️must be good genes. It’s a solid 24 karat gold 💰occasion that you will always treasure. Thank you for vlogging pure entertainment and personally bringing Mexico 🇲🇽 into our lives. Your my fav……..!

[@johnlennon7228]

En los tianguis (mercados callejeros) compramos verduras y frutas frescas a buen precio . Además muchos otros artículos para la casa. Pero también son lugares donde convives y nos relacionamos con los vecinos y personas de cualquier edad , sexo y condición económica . Saludos de Guadalajara .

[@jackietrueblood5916]

I enjoyed shopping at the dollar store, and I love Luz and Manuel who were our landlords the first year we lived there. They are the best!

[@reneechristensen5913]

Awsome video, you rock girl. Your giving good vibes

[@GaryJones2012]

Oh, Maddie! What a trip down memory lane for me. In my two years in Ajijic I went to the market pretty well every week. Such a fun experience and so much cheaper than buying produce at Walmart. I've walked every street in your video. I bought all sorts of things at that "Dollar Store" you shopped at. Spent far too many hours at Centro. Boy, do I ever miss Ajijic! Thanks for this video. Loved your cute top too.

Guamuchil Botanical name: Pithecellobium dulce The Guamuchil tree is a flowering plant that belongs to the Fabaceae family. It is a fast-growing tree first introduced as a shade tree in dry lowlands and eventually became naturalized in many areas It is native to Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. The wood is used for paneling, boxes, crates, wagon wheels, general construction, posts and fuel. Guamuchil is also known as a good forage plant for honey bees.

Wow, I love that you are doing your own videos. My family and I watched your Tangerine 🍊 channel and it has inspired us to do some more research on moving to Mexico. My brother ran into you at the Ajijic market, and sent me this video. (He's the one in the black T-shirt) We travel to Jocotepec three times a year, and also love the magical town of Ajijic. Enjoy Ajijic and I'm glad you love it as much as we do.
