    I love how you guys just roll with the punches.... I think I would have been freaking out knowing the road was being blocked for a cartel related dispute. But you keep your sense of humour, and stay calm, and just go with it. Happy New Year from St. Catharines, Ontario!

    Aww guys, it’s so lovely to see how you guys handle life situations together.
    As a Mexican, I could have love to see you guys experience a Mexican Xmas as I personally think are just an amazing experience, but I can see how difficult it’s for tourists to find that.
    Feliz año nuevo!

    What a lovely and heartwarming video this was. It's amazing the connections you make travelling when you're less jaded, more open and trusting of new people than you are back home. Thanks for sharing this journey with us. Wishing you a healthy and happy 2023!

    I'd recognize this RV park anywhere! We love Thelma and Isla Aguada. We quarantined there for 3 months during the start of the pandemic. Seeing everyone together on Christmas was all the feals. Sorry, it was so rainy for you. It's such a beautiful place.

    Love you guys. Be glad you got rain instead of the Buffalo Blizzard! Over 2022, I culled most all my vloggers, so I'm down to Levi & Leah and Becki & Chris (You're in my Canadian Couples Cabal!) The beach cleanup on Xmas is such a great tradition, but in Vancouver (cold)? Better than I. Again, great adventures, but we will have to work on that knot-tying! This Scoutmaster gives you a "needs improvement." When you get up to outside Boston, if you make it to a scouts meeting, our scouts can give you a hand; I'll throw in an MA beach cleanup!😁 All in all, enjoy your adventure and well-deserved Jan break. So great to see such a wise couple exploring and envious of the open attitude and easygoing nature which conquers obstacles with aplomb. Love, from the colder-than-Mexico-but-still-warming NorthEast.

    • @LeahandLevi

    When i was in my late 20s i found myself on disability and rehab following a auto accident (i had gotten Tboned , spun and the left side of my car rammed under a high axle county maintenance truck. They had to peel my roof off starting at the back and cut away the back of my seet before putting me on a back and neck board. I bought a post 2000 Dodge neon , a yackima rack with two bike racks and a long but narrow cargo pod.
    I ripped out the passenger seat, put a full size spare on the floor, then built a bed on the right side of the car. I would often use a tarp over the seat of the bicycle, tied down to wheels on the left side and and then fly it out to any tie down points off to the right and rear.
    One thing to learn about using oversize tarp is their natural sag….. you have to figure out a heavy duty ridge line that the tarp can rest on…. Not just run light weight lines from grommets to tie down points. You had fewer anchor points than i thought un your short video but you could have ran support lines from that tree on your right side to the front and rear tire of the RV on your left side , draped the tarp over that , then shape and secured the tarp using your light weight cordage…. But as you said in this video it was all borrowed from the neighbor…. Given that you have alot more travels ahead of you…. I would suggest at some point getting a light weight but large tarp, a shopping bag of ropes of all sizes and just playing around for a day in nice weather and see what you can do.

    That hold up was classic Mexico. You aren't truly in Mexico until there's a local hold up. And yes we are always prepared for any situation w food and drink...of all sorts...also I'm a mezcal fan and am weirdly curious about that mocha mezcal.

    Thanks for this. You can really see how critical space is. I think you really need a vehicle where you can comfortably sit up and use the computer in. I was thinking about a Toyota Rav4 PRIME (the largest plug in hybrid I can find where I am located). I wonder if it is possible to take out all of the seats except the drivers seat, and then bolt a computer desk office chair on a swivel to the floor and use a vesa monitor mount with a small desk attached to the office chair? I found a really comfortable office chair from Ikea, I could cut off the base but then I would need a way to mount the pole to the car floor.
