We are learning so much about Oaxacan food and mezcal...it's our 4th month in Oaxaca. We think that we will choose Oaxaca as our first home base in central Mexico after almost 15 months of wandering in our little RV...

As I started this video, I paused it and ran and poured myself a small glass of mezcal that I got from Rey de Mazatlan, when I was down there back in November!

Seems like you guys like Mexico more than all the other countries visited.

[@TheYarbros]

It may appear this way...this isn't factual.

[@imagineme6406]

What not to love about Mexico?❤

[@marcusgarvin3386]

Waiting for yall to do one about da marijuana "😎"

[@aracelylopezpsyd5794]

I feel that the traditional Mezcal distillation process (& the people protecting it) should be treated no less than & receive AT LEAST the same protection as the people of "Champagne" received for their unique distillation process. No one should be able to call the drink "Mezcal" unless it comes from them & it is respected/processed with the traditional methods.
