I love seeing the mentality transformation you guys went thru on this video. From some desperation to total enjoyment. That's how Mexico is. A piece of advice to everyone: Don't ever compare how things are in the US to other countries when you travel. Embrace the culture and the differences. If you take out that comparison mentality you will have a blast!

[@EatSeeRV]

Such great advice!!

[@elrana1000]

Es parte de viajar a Mexico, como cualquier otro lugar en el mundo. Una vez un pintor surrealista muy famoso llamado Salvador Dalí (Español) dijo sobre Mexico: "De ninguna manera volveré a México; no soporto estar en un país más surrealista que mis pinturas". Nosotros lo tomamos como un halago porque nuestro pais es el ejemplo claro del mundo surrealista, incluso lo que no te puedes imaginar, lo podemos ver en este país". Saludos y gracias por sus videos.

[@davidgillespie7954]

I have seen many, many KZbin videos on travel through Mexico and this is the first one that has made me actually want to go. All of the beauty and waterfalls and mountains and beaches have never made me have any desire to go.... But this one got my attention. Thank you.

[@EatSeeRV]

Oh awesome glad this one peaked you're interest. It was a super cool town! - Liz

[@gustavitosexy5019]

14:03 The tamal lady doing the sign of the cross with the money which means it was her first sale of the day, also next time you eat a banana wrapped tamal don't eat the banana leaf wrap!

[@EatSeeRV]

Is that why she did it? I thought she did it every time she made a sale. That's cool. Also, no worries we didn't eat the banana leaf wrap. - Liz

[@AHPSC]

Beautiful video. I just wanted to contribute that only non-Spanish speaking people add an E to TAMALE. The correct spelling and pronunciation in singular is TAMAL (tah-MAL), and its plural spelling and pronunciation is TAMALES (tha-MAH-less) You've got another subscriber.

[@arthorim]

Words in different languages are pronounced different. Tamal is a pronunciation from Spaniards the real word that we should pronounce would be tamalli which is the Nahuatl original word. So tomate = tomatl, chile= chilli , tortilla=tlaxcalli. So saying tamale isn't a mispronounced word is just how it sounds for English speakers.

[@SteveBoyer10]

So glad you guys got to see Guanajuato. I lived just outside the city for about 6 months and absolutely loved my time there. If you ever do come back, be sure it hit up San Miguel de Allende as well. Also very beautiful, and very popular with expats.

[@EatSeeRV]

Thank you! Yes we were contemplating going to San Miguel de Allende but time didn't allow I've heard it's beautiful. That's so cool you lived near here. What a great place! - Liz

[@TheKiwibird321]

Hard to imagine where to park in Guanajuato but yes it’s so colorful and beautiful there especially with most of the traffic underground in the tunnels.

[@sherriweber7105]

This was a great video and very interesting to know the history of this town. I can’t remember how it’s spelled. Very beautiful there. Food looks great too. Glad you had fun there. Thank you for the video. Stay safe and travel safe.

[@EatSeeRV]

Thanks Sherri, we're glad you enjoyed the Guanajuato vlog! - Dennis ✌️

[@gingerzoe2431]

Thanks for letting us know the real world. That not everything is an “instaface “ look. Loved the insight, education, and food. Great video

[@EatSeeRV]

Oh Yay I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's fun and a lot to enjoy but it's not always easy. Tunnels and problems happen even with great views haha - Liz

[@ny4980]

What a great location! Loving every bit of it. Our favorite part was the last restaurant and the shopping. Yves preferred the Restaurant while I preferred the shopping. The coffee and chocolat were close seconds.

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha I'll take it all! That market and the food was to die for. So so so good! - Liz

[@drinkinslim]

Really well done video guys. Now we're hungry. Thanks. :)

[@EatSeeRV]

🤣😂 You're so welcome! Thank you for watching. - Dennis ✌️

[@NancyFehner]

Loved the video and very happy your rig didn't suffer more severe damage. Have fun and safe travels!

[@EatSeeRV]

Ugh us too! Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it!

[@edwardmoran1739]

Thanks for video, you guys are real. Guanajuato has a soft G, like Juan, haha. Mexico is a gem.

[@EatSeeRV]

Hey Edward, we're glad you're enjoying our Mexico travel adventures! Thank you for watching! - Dennis ✌️

[@doughasson2073]

Very cool.Thanks Denise and Liz.

You're welcome Doug! We're glad you're enjoying the Mexico videos! - Dennis ✌️

[@genechandler2433]

Great video. So glade the bump did not do more damage and totally destroy your travels. Be safe, Love you two.

[@EatSeeRV]

Ugh us too! Thank you Gene!

[@tamg1351]

Really enjoying following your adventure!

[@EatSeeRV]

That's awesome! Thank you for watching! - Dennis ✌️

Yo pienso que Liz en vidas pasadas ella nació en Mexico por lo que disfruta en ese país y yo conosco muchos americanos que quieren retirarse algún día en Mexico felicidades chicos

[@danim2897]

My hometown and where my parents studied and fell in love!

[@EatSeeRV]

So cool! What a romantic place to meet - Liz

[@tommy7451]

Guys....Thanks. Nice video, nice images, loved the country side and views. I cannot see myself traveling in Mexico in a 45' Allegro Bus. Thanks to you guys I don't have to go. Boy do you have a surprise when you get back to the states.. Good luck and thank you again. PS> Where we going next when we get back from Mexico?

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha yes I couldn't imagine it either but maybe try it in something smaller. Glad you enjoyed! Not sure where our next stop is. With all that's going on we don't know where we'll be in one month haha. - Liz

[@dannypt5982]

Thats a beautiful place

[@klouism1]

🚍 Very happy for you that you are having a good time.

[@EatSeeRV]

Thank you Idaho Rider! - Dennis ✌️

[@seanmorden7411]

Hi guys. Very informative video and food looks delicious. Did you get your bike running? Looks like you could go anywhere with it.

[@EatSeeRV]

Thanks Sean! Oh man, we can't wait to be able to rip around the towns with the Xmax! We will be posting a fix update soon. - Dennis ✌️

[@dennymedeiros4504]

When going thru the tunnel straddle the centerline

[@EatSeeRV]

Yup, lessons are being learned. - Dennis ✌️

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Really glad it wasn't that bad guys! Scary stuff!

[@EatSeeRV]

Oh man, us too! It was about 20 min from the time it happened untill we could park and look at the damage. Longest 20 min ever! - Dennis ✌️

[@javiersotelo7720]

Tamales & Gorditas de Chicharrón !

[@brentandlizscott140]

Hey guys, when you are enjoying a meal, always let us know what you paid. That is super interesting for those wanting to follow your steps. Great video! Thx

[@EatSeeRV]

Yes great idea. Although this was a food tour so we didn't pay for each meal as it was included in the tour price. But, we'll definitely try and share that in the future. Food here is extremely cheap! Tacos are around $15 - $20 pesos each. Tamales like the one in this video are around $20 pesos. Meals Ina restaurant run around $80 - $150 pesos per plate more if it's touristy or a nice restaurant.

[@tomrobinson2919]

Enjoying your gutsy adventure; you might’ve thought about having a Berkey water filter...thank you for your efforts!

[@EatSeeRV]

Hey Tom we're stoked you're enjoying our Mexico travel videos! There are reverse osmosis purified water bottling shops on every corner like 711's. You can buy 5 gallons of purified water to refill a personal jug called a garrafon for 17 pesos, that's only $00.74 cents US. Berkeys are really nice and we used one in Florida to filter the nasty out of the tap water we were drinking! But, totally unnecessary in Mexico. - Dennis ✌️

[@davidjgarner3242]

Happy to see your tour guide is a St. Louis Cardinal fan.

[@EatSeeRV]

What gave you that idea? - Liz

[@ChangingLanes]

Holy cow, guys! We have a mobile paint guy back in Bradenton if you headed back that way soon. I bet he can fix that for about $200. We have some experience in the RV hitting stuff department. 😳 Very cool location!

[@EatSeeRV]

Oh yay thank you! Yes we will when we get back! Hope y'all are doing okay - Liz

[@CrossroadsWellness13]

Did you really say, “Squoozen”? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@markymark7619]

My biggest fear is going through tunnels, I always google earth roads before I go and check tunnels, have a trip I’m 101 Oregon coast that the sides have a low clearance I’ve watched a video on google see a fifth wheeler going through wish me luck.

[@EatSeeRV]

We didn't feel 100% comfortable with taking the fifth wheel we had down the 101 either. We opted to go inland and visit the Willamette Valley 🍷 instead. But, I've heard plenty of stories about bigger rigs making it just fine! Take it slow and easy and I'm sure you'll be alright. - Dennis ✌️

[@capacitacionyconsultoriaes6319]

Most beautiful city in the Americas

[@jj-bp3fr]

Have you considered visiting Taxco, Guerrero? It's similar with hills, narrow stone streets, silver caves, colonial architecture, only difference Taxco surpassed the Pueblo Mágico to Ciudad Luz category and all the buildings there are white with a brick red line at the bottom. Plenty of silver there, too.

[@EatSeeRV]

Sounds beautiful! We haven't gone there yet but now we'll have to add it to our list.

[@petetrujillo4125]

I was born in California but both my parents are born natives of the state of Guanajuato.

[@TheSunfire96]

Love all your videos, we pull a 30' camper and love traveling when we can. How has the Coronavirus affected you in Mexico, are you still there or have you guys came back for now? Hope you guys are well, please be safe!!

[@EatSeeRV]

We'll have an update coming out on that shortly. Thanks for watching. Stay safe as well! :)

[@ELCHAPULINAZO77]

Guanava rompope it's the bomb.

[@EatSeeRV]

Rompope is tasty!

[@MsGracieAnne]

Fucking awesome!

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha it was a great city!

[@larryatwell9734]

And you won't someone to feel sorry for you...😂🤣

[@EatSeeRV]

Is that what we want? - Dennis 🧐

[@AmericaBound]

👍👍👍

[@EatSeeRV]

😁

[@chrisfenrir]

Before entering the tunnel there's a sign saying big vehicles should drive through the middle of the tunnel using both lanes.

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha oh well that's helpful. We've learned the lesson thats for sure.

[@tomrobinson2919]

What is the info in Mexico about the COVID-19 pandemic?

[@EatSeeRV]

It's not very wide spread here so far. Schools have closed but that's about it. Business as usual. Food and toilet paper is abundant and businesses are open. Nothing like the USA - Liz

[@snapstring3134]

Thank you for saying that! Liz always does an excellent job editing all our vlogs! We're so glad you are enjoying our videos. Thank you for watching! - Dennis ✌️

[@leewaytoo]

@@EatSeeRV well, Dennis, that explains why she gets all the air time. Most of it anyway. May want to throw some water on that rub mark from the tunnel. see if any is getting through. Fiberglass?? easier to deal with in the sunshine vs rain.

[@iamenvymetoo]

Why did people say not to drive through here? Is it not a safe city? Im confused, looks like they had a fantastic time.

[@EatSeeRV]

Because of the tunnels! Haha

[@lancephillips8740]

Hey guys hope you guys are all ok - Are you cancelling your plans? and coming back to the USA? befor they close the boarders? - I think all of your SUBs would like to know! - thanks stay safe - Lance from Canada

[@EatSeeRV]

We'll have an update coming out soon, thank you for your concern!

[@bust6665]

Why did the lady serving the food in the background make the sign of the cross twice at 14:08?

[@EatSeeRV]

She did that every time someone paid her! - Liz

[@EatSeeRV]

I noticed that too after the fact! Giving thanks to her creator for providing her with abundance, maybe? I guess it would be similar to a football player doing the same thing after scoring a touchdown. - Dennis ✌️

[@fabiangonzalez5215]

In fact its like a way to "bless" the money its kinda normal specially during the first sales in the morning, also in order to get good luck

[@eduardoplascencia1724]

It's common for them to do it on their first sale of the day, but others make the sign more often (i.e. Big Sales, etc)

[@ericvaneck4296]

I wouldn’t think you would have been the tallest RV. Hope you all have made it back to the US with the mess going on now around the world.

[@EatSeeRV]

Yeah we're like 2 inches taller than the Newstate's rig. Crazy right? - Dennis ✌️

[@luziboys]

How does your cat do during these trips? :)

[@EatSeeRV]

They handle it well. Usually they hop up into the over cab bed and stay there until we arrive. Once we push the slide out that's their que that is safe to come down, lol. - Dennis

[@luziboys]

How fun! Did you have to have something special from the vet to enter Mexico with the cats? I thought there was only one :). I saw him jump on your lap and maybe the other was watching the sun in one of the videos.

[@EatSeeRV]

Yeah there's 2 of them! Mexico does require up to date rabies vaccination paper work. They may or may not even ask for it at the border but definitely have it with you anyway.

[@luziboys]

@@EatSeeRV Thank you! Guanajuato is one of our favorite places but we want to take my cat next time lol 😁🐾. It was nice to virtually travel there through your videos! ♥️

That's awesome!

Hey Dennis can I ask you a KZbin question? I usually use a youtube ad blocker...does that affect your guys income from KZbin? If so I will turn it off when watching your guys videos!

[@EatSeeRV]

Yo Steve! Great question. I honestly didn't know YT ad blockers existed. The short answer to your question is, yes it does affect it. If the ad isn't seen we don't receive anything from YT. Thank you for asking this question and watching our vids! - Dennis ✌️

[@steves3688]

@@EatSeeRV I will def turn ad blocker off when viewing your videos!

[@tanyastapestries4007]

@@EatSeeRV That's actually a very interesting question. I use Chrome as my web browser and Ad Blocker Plus is turned on for everything. I've never actually seen an ad on any of your videos, but have seen ads on other YTers. Not sure what that means, but thought I'd throw it out there.

[@Calamiti999Fine]

What? No mezcal bar footage? :). Looks like a cool trip. It would be great if Americans could really “own” real estate in Mexico.

[@EatSeeRV]

Lol, no the night we went out drinking I shot the footage for Newstate Nomads channel. I wish we would have gone back to "La Infiel" that bar rocked! - Dennis ✌️

You can own anywhere that's not near the coast, free and clear.

Hah yes! Thank you for the tip.
