Oaxaca has been hit hard on Native folks, due to severe droughts, and climate change. The World Heritage foundation claimed to help financially restore the cities buildings, promising locals to help Native people improve their lives. When water ran short this past 5 summers water was denied to local farmers, and Indigenous arts, and crafts people. Yet water was plentiful for their hotels, and tourist businesses. While local folks suffered serious Heat warnings. Locals protested, and attempted to fight for their water rights. Natives have been going thru these conditions the last 5 yrs., without any news coverage over their serious land, and water right violations. The World Heritage Foundation has funded tourism for Native peoples all over the world, with no protections for Indigenous people in the areas. You picked up on the vibe right away, and I had to give ya a heads up. Thank You Again, for your wonderful video's.
@@Adornments4U We have noticed this problem in other tourist areas we have passed through. It is sad to see, and we hope for changes that protect the local people, their land and their rights. We hope there is a resolution that can accommodate both parties, but it is wrong to take the water away from the farmers who grow the food that feed the people. Thank you for sharing the reality of the situation 💕
Hola! These vlogs just keep getting more amazing every week! True that not everything goes according to plan --- sometimes that's the best gift you can ask for when you don't even know what you don't know.... Sounds like you had the most vibrant and fulfilling experience yet! I'd say don't limit yourselves too much with arbitrary deadlines and soak up everything you possibly can --- what's the rush? Cheers!...from North Vancouver
@@adriankung1625 Muchas gracias 🙏🏻 We feel there is a fine line between researching too much and not enough. We have found less is sometimes better. When you over do it you have already seen everything. Maybe not in person but, it takes away some of the excitement. We definitely slowed the trip down and are so thankful because mainland Mexico has so much to offer. Salud Adrian 🇲🇽
@@tchoff99 Thank you Tim. We are so happy to be able to show the real Mexico and how great the Mexican people are. It is sad what the mainstream media has done.
You really show what driving Mexico feels like better than any other travel videos. (If you want a ride into Oaxaca ask Cali and he’ll get you a cab. We always brought him a cold Coke or a beer when we got back). We call the tuk tuks just that or trimotor depending which country they are in.
In Mexico they call them "Mototaxi". This term combines "moto" (motorcycle) and "taxi," reflecting their function as motorized taxis for short distance transport.
Watching today’s video took me right back there. Missing that lovely weather and the colour of Oaxaca. I had a different experience as far as lots of tourists goes. I felt I mostly saw Mexicans at the time we visited and really no negative feedback from locals. If you’re still there, you might like the quieter neighbourhood of jlatlaco. We just walked and walked and googled bkfst spots. I’ll find out some names of places to send to you. Great video of hierve which we didn’t get to.
@@deej7930 We never got any negative feedback from the locals, but we did see a lot of tourist go home graffiti. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was one person doing all of it though. We welcome any recommendations you might have 💕
Dude looked at you like you're crazy when you said maybe you won't be going back to the USA 😂. Why didn't you want to park in the city center this time?
@@hornz5 It’s funny some people can’t wrap their heads around the fact that the U.S. has been in a bad place lately. We saw that some people had problems when they parked in el Centro and didn’t want to risk it. Plus the place where we stayed El Rancho is known for how nice it is and we wanted to see for ourselves.
@BarelySqueakinBy as bad as it is, you also can't lose sight that it's probably better than most other countries, especially with the freedom to move around as a nomad and run a business. I myself immigrated from Canada, and from Romania as a kid before that.
@ You are right it is much better than many other countries. We will be the first to say that. However the government spending, taxes, inflation, and so on has been getting worse and worse and you can’t ignore that.
You guys do an exceptional job narrating all your travels and showing the reality and beauty of each town.❤
@@mariasanabria6041 Thank you 🙏🏻 To be honest it is all AuBrey. She is so passionate about making videos!!
Another awesome video! Appreciate how you guys don't waste time filming the ordinary. There is a always an untold story. Keep squeakin' by!
@@jasonbusch1979 Thank you Jason! It’s great to get feedback. We are so glad that you enjoy what we are doing 🙏🏻
Cool guys, I love you videos,Greetings from Querétaro, Mexico!
@@joseluisgonzalez5034 Thank you so much! ❤️ Sending love from Oaxaca.
Another great video folks. Watching them by the pool as opposed to watching by the snowman is a pleasant change LOL
@@wadepoloway Thank you Wade! You can say that again. We agree 100%

@@ohrosberg For some reason it’s more fun to say tuk tuk. AuBrey absolutely loves them. Everytime she sees one she tells me how cute they are.
La cosecha organic market you might like. We went there several times while visiting at the beginning of November.
