    What do you think of Leon, Guanajuato...is this a place you'd visit? Let me know where I should travel next! Also, be sure to subscribe to my email newsletter because the next edition is going out this weekend! maddiegold.aweb.page/p/1c1d4297-44aa-4e36-8d2a-cec315e981ea

      Hi Maddie, I was there at the same time you were, I’m a fan of yours since your old channel. Would’ve loved to have met you. Quick tip, you could stay in any hotel on Lopez Mateo (the avenue where la Feria takes place) and take the bus that runs up and down that avenue for $12 Mexican pesos one way. It’s very safe. 🙏🙌🏻 ps. We stayed at hotel San Francisco for $40 bucks a night. It’s only 2 miles from the fair.

    Maddie, I love your videos where you show the products of the culture. Guanajuato is the birthplace of the Mexican muralist, Diego Rivera. If there are murals that he did in the city, I'd love to see a video about them. We have the Detroit Industry Murals, some of his best work, in the Detroit Institute of Arts, and I'd be happy to show them to you if you ever come to Detroit.

    • @saskagopher7319
      @saskagopher7319 Год назад +2

      No Diego murals there but his birth house is a museum and if you look carefully you will find one of the first pencil sketches he did of Frida. A nude of her sitting, from the back.

This is a fair that I’ve always been wanting to go to in my wonderful second home state of Guanajuato (besides New Mexico in the US)! I’m glad that you enjoyed this fair and that Reik concert!

    Congrats on being sober! I just had my 6th anniversary of my sobriety. Trust me, alcohol does nothing good for you, especially PTSD, depression, anxiety and thoughts of paranoia.
    I've always enjoyed doing festivals, flea markets, gambling in Vegas...by myself. There is something to be said about not having to worry about if the other person is having fun or ready to go or not interested in what I am.
    This was a great vlog, very fun. Wishing you continued success with your new sobriety! 😊

    "Los gritones" are quite common in remote towns whenever there are "ferias"or town celebrations is the way this places get some goods that are not sold there without having to make a trip to a nearby city or a bigger town but you can also find them in fairs like this in big cities (where there's people there's always opportunity)

      @@drg8034 depends on the region, although “merolicos” can also apply to any street vendors in general or those that do tricks like the one you have to find the ball in the cup or the little bird with the nots etc. Also gritones can be given to other street vendors in other parts of the country.

    So true about the toilet paper!! I always pass right by the one outside of the stalls 😣 buy I keep tissues handy at all times. Loved the fair and you were very brave to ride all of those rides. I won’t ride fair rides cause you never know if they are insured. We enjoyed Leon when we flew into there on our way to Gto and SMA. The cathedral was beautiful Lovely trip and great video!

    I love that you travel all over the country, but please stay safe, Guanajuato is beautiful but unfortunately one of the most dangerous states!! Anyway, love ur videos!
