Man! That look on April's face when he ate that grasshopper........😮😅😂

[@juane6434]

You should go to Jalisco, Mexico. The food is so delicious. I go every 5 years to Jalisco, Mexico.

[@TheYarbros]

We lived there for a year and loved the food!

[@alfonsomartinez5934]

Soy mexicano y se que están en uno de los estados más pobres económicamente de Mexico 🇲🇽 y más ricos en diversidad total . Me gusta ver cómo hacen una gran vida en Mexico y lo respetan , disfrútenlo !

[@sharoncarrington1474]

Love this - I’m so hungry 😂 The local vibe is 🔥. On my list of places to see!

[@TheYarbros]

Yes, its a must-visit in Oaxaca! The vibe is unmatched, the people make the place!

[@dearlyb3loved]

Been watching you guys for a minute now! Nice to see you guys in Mexico again but in Oaxaca! I’ll also be there in a few days but will be also exploring the Sierra Sur and the coast! Hope to see you guys do a video especially in the coast!

[@TheYarbros]

We hope you have an amazing trip! We haven't been to the coast yet but have heard great things about the beach towns.

[@dr.carmenapril2297]

I'm so tickled by Rondel and the Chapulines! The legs lol! Gives me flashbacks to my first taste of Chapulines in Mexico City lol!

[@TheYarbros]

Hey at least you tried it! The legs just got caught a little on the way down lol.

[@iguanasranas07]

I am also left handed!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊

[@DeAndra750]

Love your videos. April you have a beautiful complexion. That drink looks interesting . I think I could try it

[@TheYarbros]

Thank you! Definitely try it at least once.

[@gerardogurrola2807]

Your welcome! When you travel to Chiapas, the drink April had is called pozol.

[@TheYarbros]

Looking fwd to exploring Chiapas!

@@TheYarbrosChiapas (Ajijic) has become really expensive with real estate due to the huge expat retiree community, I look forward to seeing your take on it. ❤

Ayeee! 😋

Love this!

[@barbaralopes7301]

By the way we are all happy your back in Mexico.❤

[@TheYarbros]

Happy to be here!

[@bluebutterflytravels191]

Thanks so much for this! Wow...every video you do about that area makes me so glad we are going there for a long stay next month! Thanks. Looks like it's just perfect for us...we want to be in the non-gringo places too! (Although we are loving Patzcuaro...it's a wonderful place we may come back to rent a casita in the future...)

[@TheYarbros]

You all are going to have a great trip! Lots of little pueblos around the city to choose from. If you love Patzcuaro, you're in for a treat in Oaxaca!

[@As_You_Love_Yourself]

How perfect. ❤ Love this - I would be in heaven. You both look so relaxed and happy! Even your skin and hair look dewy. Is it hot there? You look to be very comfortable. I would pass on the grasshoppers too, but the Cacao drink looks good. I’m studying Spanish too & counting the days to retirement… then, Mexico-bound! 390 to go… 😊

[@TheYarbros]

😅😅😅 You really have a countdown! We are at peace here. The country life in Oaxaca us very different. It's very communal and they are very inclusive, friendly and curious. Love it! It is mountain weather here so it gets a little hot during the height of the day 85° f maybe buy the mountains breezes come through around 5pm and the city is a cool 65° by 8 pm. It's comfortable for us. We have no AC and we are fine.

[@As_You_Love_Yourself]

@@TheYarbros Aw, thanks for the newsy response. So appreciated and helpful! I’m glad you are relaxing in the country - sounds so nice. Enjoy it! 🙏🏼🤗💞

[@ambrosiosalazar3183]

EXELENTE TOWN AND A BOUNTIFUL STATE! 😅😅😅

[@TheYarbros]

Yes indeed!

[@travelaroundlife]

Looks amazing!

[@TheYarbros]

It was a really cool market!

[@namjoonswhite-stripedcrab]

Just came back from Oaxaca a month ago. I love the Tlacolula market so much, I’m already wanting to go back. My friend & I rented a car for a week and were able to get around quite easily but google maps can be pretty questionable so beware. This market is also quite close to Mitla so we went there as well, what a great day. Thanks for your content and for both of your beautiful spirits ❤.

[@TheYarbros]

Thank you!!! We are loving this state. We're heading out to Mitla next week. We've been navigating via colectivo and that's been fine. Glad you enjoyed your time here!

[@namjoonswhite-stripedcrab]

@@TheYarbros If you need things for your home, I custom ordered a pair of woven curtains to my exact color and dimension specs, took under 2 weeks from order to pick-up and inexpensive in Teotitllàn del Valle (not far from Oaxaca). Also, if you are looking for a good date night spot and the best duck you will ever eat, please go to “Origen” and order the the duck dish with beetroot butter and cherries, the best!!! I had to have it 3 times. Also order the ceviche in leche di tigre and the green pozole with shrimp….you will not be disappointed…the other items were nowhere near as delicious, as we pretty much ate the entire menu. Have a great time!!!

[@japeri171]

The best thing about a place is the people who live there.Besides the food,of course hahaha.

[@TheYarbros]

We completely agree!

[@belliott4844]

Happy Birthday!

Wait, did Rondel just tell the dog to get off the husky 😂😂😂😂😂. I don’t know why that had me in stitches. Happy belated birthday 🎉.

[@TheYarbros]

Aye!!! Thank you! Yeah, the other dog was all up in the business...

[@jesusjaimevargas2928]

Where are you guys staying at in Oaxaca? & how long are you staying? Because Oaxaca has so much to see !!! Great enjoyable video!

[@TheYarbros]

We're in a small town outside of the city. Yes, so much to see here!

[@Henryg1181]

I will be there in less than 2 weeks for the festival in my dad's town in Valdeflores, Zimatlan, Oaxaca to celebrate the towns saint

[@TheYarbros]

I love that the towns have their own festivals. Our current pueblo just celebrated taxistas with a small band and a taxi procession.

Thank you so much!!!!

[@kathleenlargo468]

Planning to go in a month and you are inspiring me to get to that level of Spanish, seems like you had such fun. What time would you say is the best time to go, how early in the morning? And how many hours until you think you've experienced the whole place?

[@TheYarbros]

We got there at 8:30 and that was great. By around 3pm we had seen our fill. At 4 pm we sat down ate and we were on our bus home not long after.... but we were filming along the way though.... I think 3-4 hrs is plenty of time to experience the market.

[@Sheila-sx2sq]

Yeah, ❤Awesome, Oaxaca's markets are amazing, with so many indigenous vendors coming to sell their farming goodies or crafts. ❤️👍 also, Abastos market in Oaxaca city is also awesome. I shopped at 4 markets regularly.

[@As_You_Love_Yourself]

I love the mercados, noting this for future reference. Thank you! 🌸

[@AuntieShannon]

El español suena bien. 👍🏾😄

[@justintrud9800]

Nah, I would pass On that drink. She had her whole arm in it

[@TheYarbros]

Lol, ik they make it all over Oaxaca just like that and people love it!

[@bluebutterflytravels191]

Made with love! I'd totally try it! Not sure about the crickets... And here in Patzcuaro they have the little dried minnows that they fry in lard and serve with salsas... A bit much even though we think of ourselves as pretty adventurous with food...

[@heyjavonnejay]

I peeped she had chipped nail polish too. Nope! lol

[@giovannicerqueira4814]

Quando vai voltar ao Brasil ?

[@TheYarbros]

We have to wait 6 months.

[@gg13308]

What area would you recommend a solo female traveler stay in? I was in Querétaro and a restaurant owner told me I had to visit and eat the food there. I am vegetarian btw.

[@TheYarbros]

I’d recommend in and around Centro if your visiting. Jalatlaco and Xochimilco neighborhoods are pretty walkable neighborhoods great to stay in. This Fb grp is good for food recs m.facebook.com/groups/1675167752618384/?ref=share&mibextid=S66gvF

[@timjohnson9054]

Of course there’s more majestic places out there but I’m 27 countries I visited Mexico always is the spot! it takes a couple days or a week to get familiar with the orchestra but once you learn the song it’s a beautiful dance!

[@TheYarbros]

Love that analogy!
