Thanks Stephanie!

[@BTom16]

You have a beautiful home. Congratulations on your anniversary. Thank you for the great content.

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Thanks for the compliment!

[@marcuss2956]

Congrats on everything. Looks like some fun times ahead. Looks like floating head lol. Going to be in town in December, I'll be there the entire month, hope to meet you 2.

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

Look forward to running into you! Stefan here - I've perfected the floating head!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Haha…he’s not an airhead though! Looking forward to seeing you around PV!

[@olasod1]

I envy you at the moment, but in 6v our paths might be crossed. PV here we come again 👍🏼🤘🏻😎. 🍻 from Sweden.

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

Excellent, look forward to seeing you here! One of our first trips to PV was to attend our Swedish friend's wedding here. Keep an eye out for those direct Finn Air flights that they had pre-covid. Hope those flights come back!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

A little more sunshine in the winter months than Sweden.

Longing to do the same thing

[@marlajacques6947]

Yes can relate, I’ll b 50 next year! We did make the leap to Mexico a few months ago but just not feeling it...I think my ancestral roots in Eastern Europe are calling me. I’m happy that you’re doing things for you, it’s a fun ride 🌸

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

Thanks Marla!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Totally get it. It is those very ancestral roots that I think tugged so hard for me in Mexico.

[@morshead]

Fabuloso!!! Love and good wishes from Göçek ♥️ Goddess knows I need to get back on the BWSW bandwagon!!!

[@davidpurvis3388]

Good for you. Want to see more of it and the details. Hits home, my wife and I are in our mid sixties so it rings a bell, or that bell has rung?

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

Your bell has a lot of ringing still left in it!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Even cracked bells can make some noise! Do it!

[@pbjsilverstudio4882]

We went looking for churros on Dia de Muertos but the place was closed. It was in old town and we were told we’re the best churros in town and you could get them with ice cream! We are leaving tomorrow and no churros but….we are going to move here so! The future will include a churro or two. Jajajaja!

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

We see many churros in your future!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

After 4:30 for the Churro guy near the church, though yes, that was a major holiday. We stop by whenever we can!

[@onetoughshark]

Just got back from PV, go to La Romántica churros & café bar, there are two locations & get the Sarita churro ice cream sandwich. I would get on an airplane just to have another. (Sorry the name is bold & large, I cut & pasted it and cannot seem to downsize it). So delicious!

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

@@onetoughshark may need to check that out!

I loved this video I just closed up my business I had a one women nail Salon I Burlingame Ca. I'm going to Mexico with my husband to finish our little house there BUT I really want to buy a small house in Puerto Escondido let's see I'm 60 and it's time for me.😊

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

Wonderful. Enjoy your journey!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Life waits for no one. Best of luck on YOUR new adventures.

[@zacharyrivera566]

All right, a whole new experience. Good for you guys 😁.

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

It'll be something.... We don't know quite what yet!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Thanks! We kind of love that “building the plane while we’re flying it” approach every so often.

[@davidridings4011]

Great video, looking forward to your journey!

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

Thanks David!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Thank you. Haha…so are we.

[@AlmostRetiredinMexico]

Welcome back to Mexico! I love the renovation update - and the hot tub! Our hot tub / plunge pool is being tiled today! So exciting! And happy anniversary / birthdays / house purchase. I turn 50 this coming year.

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

Thanks! We look forward to welcoming you to the club!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

The tub is so necessary.

[@SandyDoughty]

Wow exciting! Can't wait to see the new place!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Thanks. Yes, it is a very exciting time for us.

[@HeyitsMario65]

Congratulations on your new house, can’t wait until your next video. I was waiting to you see you both again. Oh happy anniversary!

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

Thanks Mario!

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

Wow. That is a landmark home. Congrats for taking the plunge on such a property. Super jelly now!

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

Thanks! Definitely a big move for us. We'd like to know more history on the place. It was mentioned in a 1961 vacation newsletter where the builder/architect Guillermo Wulff said it was being rented for $8/day low season and $12/day high season as compared to Elizabeth Taylor's Casa Kimberly (then spelled Casa Kimberley then) that was renting for $15/day plus $2 for every extra person. Finds like this 1961 newsletter are really cool and we hope we can dig up more info like this in the future--- A ton of work though! Topics of future vlogs for sure.

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

@@LivingSimplyinMexico Looking forward to it. Read a bit about it on Banderas news. 👍

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

@@StreetTruckinTitan That is the one! Although there were two houses there -- they split the land and we bought the old house.

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

@@LivingSimplyinMexico Super cool!

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

@@LivingSimplyinMexico Btw; I just did the google maps tour all over the house. Insane. You two are so fortunate to get this place. It is Gringo Gulch!

[@florecilla3946]

Enjoy guys and live life is too short hugs love your videos ❤🙏

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

You’ve got that right. Live, love, and eat good food!

[@nickjones6541]

Another fantastic video guys! Congrats on the new purchase, well deserved and well played….Wulf homes are amazing! My wife and I absolutely love gringo gulch. We’re in 5D, heading down for 2 weeks over the Christmas holidays. Go GenX!!

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

Thanks, and we second the "Go Gen X"! We look forward to seeing you around town. We love 5D too!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Thanks so much. We are still pinching ourselves that we did it. 5D is a great, vibrant neighborhood too!

[@m.l.summers487]

So love this - a big YES to your ‘what’s next’ and LIVING not just living in Mexico. Congrats on the new place - excited to take the journey with you both. Thank you for all your terrific content and sharing the journey!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Thank you for your comments and support. Yes, it is an exciting time.

[@suehoese6335]

Love your videos! You are living my dream. We are going to be in PVR for a couple weeks in January and would love to have coffee with you to hear more about your life in PVR.

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

Thanks Sue!

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Thanks! Life is good.

[@stephanievalencia2939]

Congratulations on your new home!! Looks amazing! Can’t wait to see what is next.🥂

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Thank you! We’re excited to see what’s next too!

[@olydave7604]

What kind of budget do I need to buy a house in PV? Preferably with a hot tub and a view like yours!

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

Difficult to say as prices have changed since we purchased our first house. It was a fixer-upper which helped a lot (foreign buyers typically like turn key and construction is that expensive if you find the right contractor). After a brief search this not the same, but in the ballpark: my.flexmls.com/ampimls/search/idx_links/20101209212452924646000000/listings/20201218184627896703000000?_filter=City+Eq+%27Puerto+Vallarta%27+And+MlsStatus+Eq+%27Active%27+And+PropertyType+Eq+%27B%27+And+ListPrice+Bt+100000.0%2C500000.0&listing_id=20201218184627896703000000&view=map

Someone needs to organize a trap, neuter, release program going. If not, the cat situation will only get worse. It's so sad to see so many homeless cats.

[@queserasera1674]

Hi! I am new to your channel. I am considering a move to PV so I'm trying to find out as much as possible beforehand. I follow a couple other PV channels and yesterday one lady, who is over 60, said Costco does not allow people over 60 into their warehouse. I did some research and saw comments on TripAdvisor that back in Jan and Feb, due to gov'ts request that 60+ people remain in their homes, Costco, Home Depot and other large grocery stores would not allow people over 60 into their stores. I know you are only 50 but I'm over 60 so I'm concerned that I'd have to hire someone to always shop for me. Have you heard of this issue? Are other places, such as restaurants have/had this policy? I heard the gov't has now given the green flag so I'm assuming soon Coscto, etc will allow people over 60 to shop? Thank you. :-)

[@LivingSimplyinMexico]

This was in the more difficult months of COVID. now things are getting close to normal (still masks are prevalent). Enjoy your journey!

[@queserasera1674]

@@LivingSimplyinMexico Thank you for your boots on the ground observation.

[@bewellstaywellnetwork]

Yeah, that was waaaay early on. Don’t worry…Costco is ready to receive your money.

[@queserasera1674]

@@bewellstaywellnetwork Why in the world would grocery stores deny people over 60 food? That will kill us faster than any virus.
