it's so heartbreaking imagining how the Mayan people must've felt seeing their temples destroyed to build the structures of their colonizer's religion 🥺❤️ as an Armenian I can relate... Turkey and Azerbaijan have been doing that to our ancient structures and grave sites for centuries, and are currently doing it today, especially in Artsakh... it's ethnic cleansing, erasing history, and genocide. I'm glad at least that one temple was able to survive in izamal. hopefully some Armenian structures will survive too like the Mayan's temples.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Agreed, that oppression is absolutely heartbreaking, and it happens throughout the world. Many people don’t learn about this, or they forget very easily. I’m sorry to hear you can personally relate, I hope Armenian cultural sites receive some protection soon.

lol - the hat!! looks so cute, but it needs a strap! such a great video and place. I love how much they’re doing to preserve and honor the history there. and those carved street signs are fantastic!

[@StephenandAndie]

when are you guys heading back/officially moving to Mexico?

[@EatBailaTravel]

We’re not sure, that’s the kind of life we’re living lately. It’s so hard to choose one place after visiting another 😂

LOVES THIS EPISODE GUYS 🤩🤩 the happiest little town in Yucatán ☀️ Geovannys mom actually uses that sour orange in a lot of the cooking she does - it gives incredible flavor 👌🏼 especially when she marinates red onion in the juice 🤤 we actually had no idea that there was any kind of Middle Eastern influence in Yucatán at all, that’s so interesting 🙌🏼🇲🇽 keep up the great work amigos, can’t wait for the next one 🤗🤗

[@EatBailaTravel]

Looking forward to hanging out again and hopefully trying some of Geovanny’s mom food someday. There’s nothing like some home cooking! Saludos amigos! Cuídense

[@KattieMetChris]

Fantastic video guys! Loved everything about this. And anything the features Cochinita Pibil is awesome in our book! You guys are rocking it!!!

[@EatBailaTravel]

Thank you so much for watching. I love your enthusiasm for Mexican food! Saludos friends! I wish we’d watch your isla mujeres food guide before we went.

[@KattieMetChris]

@@EatBailaTravel Awww thanks! While you're living in Merida you should spin over for a week or so in Isla every once in a while to just enjoy the beach 🤙😎

[@hgworldtour]

Wow loved the yellow buildings! Love the video style guys keep it up! Subbed!

[@EatBailaTravel]

Awesome! Thank you looks like you both also have a youtube channel we will be checking you guys out!

I wonder if Armenians were among the people who migrated to Mexico. there is a very big population of Armenians in Lebanon because of the Armenian Genocide launched by the Turkish Ottomans in 1915 (and the Armenian Genocide continues today, perpetrated by Turkey and Azerbaijan). but sometimes when I was growing up in Los Angeles, some of my Mexican friends really looked Armenian and would get confused for being Armenian. Perhaps they are descendants of people of the region known as the Middle East who took refuge in Mexico too. Interesting. thanks for sharing!

[@EatBailaTravel]

This is very interesting! Thank you so much for sharing we love to learn about diasporas and past migrations because it helps us learn more about our culture and about ourselves.

[@cindyk3076]

Informative video as usual, interesting about the disagreement regarding why so much of the town is yellow! I had no idea about the Mediterranian influence in that part of Mexico, very cool.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JessicaNobles83]

This video is when I 1st learned the word "Michie"and I always say it now 😂 thanks!! Izamal is a beautiful place, we got to go this past June!

[@EatBailaTravel]

In Mexico, a michi is always a good idea 🍺😁 especially in the hot weather of Izamal! Glad you got to experience this lovely town

[@leespruell8817]

You guys are wonderful ---

[@EatBailaTravel]

Thank you! We hope all is well.

[@michaelpetty2301]

Interesting !!! I remember going through Izamal but my friends only stopped for the pyramid. It was brutally hot that day. If I remember this correctly I think it was at the monastery in Izamal that some parts of the Mayan written language were notated and translated.Lots of history there under both the Mayans and the Spanish. Great video !!!

[@EatBailaTravel]

yes, brutally hot is accurate! it's a great little town, glad you got to visit. Thanks for watching!

[@vanessaaguayo2314]

Very informative video! Love it 👏🏼

Thank you 🙏🏼😊🌸

Nice vlogging guys 👍

[@EatBailaTravel]

Thank you for watching glad you enjoy our vlogging style.

[@leslielawson8446]

I think it’s a beautiful city , is it expensive? How much are rents and food there , is it as hot as Merida? Great video , I love that there are pyramids in town and there free👍, I would never get tired of visiting the pyramids and old buildings . ❤️❤️🇲🇽😃👏

[@EatBailaTravel]

It is cheaper Compared to Merida. Merida is the highest in Yucatán when it comes to dinning,food, and cost of living. Many people say safety has its price and that makes the high prices worth living in Merida.

[@sunnizebra]

Jenny this is unrelated but what makeup do you use?? It's so hot but your makeup stays on! I need to know haha

[@EatBailaTravel]

IT Cosmetics CC cream! With SPF 50 it goes on so smooth and light ☺️ I use the matte one for hot & humid weather and the regular one for colder temps. Set with a bare minerals powder I found in the random pile of clearance items at TJ Maxx lol

[@sunnizebra]

@@EatBailaTravel thank you so much ! Love your channel btw

[@anli9730]

I would love to see a beauty vlog! Mexican beauty secrets! I remember you shared about a Mexican mascara. And also how you keep your make up and skin in point in such a hot and humid climate!!
