    Such an awesome video on so many levels. Don’t even know where to start - but highlights… Pixar bug and the pencil shot… WB/ACME/Wiley Coyote end of surfing edit… cacoa bean journey insights💕 - damn, this was so much fun - and I barely scratched the surface. And to think I just wanted to find out how you guys were doing when I checked in..… best to you both.

      Hahaha thank so much for checking in on us… that means a lot :). This was my longest video to date and it’s kinda refreshing to have a little more time to share things with you guys, and normally the pixar bug might get cut sue to time, but I’m super glad you dug it 🤙🏽 ☮️ 💕 🌮:))))

    Finally, I find a vlogger, living in Mexico that’s actually funny! Thank you, a breath of fresh vlogging air! I’ve done searches over the years and just today your channel pops up. Ok, can probably blame it on Paul, from Move to Mexico cause I watch his show and he interviewed a couple that did a show on San Pancho and I think I went down the vlogging rabbit hole, but it turned up here which isn’t a bad thing. I was getting hooked when I watched my first show and you actually make pasta from scratch, like my kind of people, I like to cook. Now, you’re in La Comer, my favorite store. Did you have a hot dog cart in NY? I’m subscribing.

    Hey Shaun, yet another great video. That dust bug blew our minds! We were like, “I think Shaun is high again”, then it began to walk!?! WTF?!? When we stay in PV for awhile, we sometimes go to LaComer, has many things you can’t find anywhere. My thoughts on the Cabo beans were “ Seriously, who found out how to ferment them, dry them, cook them and then peel them? How”??? But that’s was so cool. And they way you talk to Indo, like talking to anybody else 😂😂😂😂😂 Appreciate the status on your new/additional place. Question: from the street few, it looked like it was out in the middle of the street, and not in your land, is your street a dead end? I really dig your yard. Thanks for another great video!

    • @ShauninParadise
      @ShauninParadise  Год назад +1

      Sorry forgot to answer about the street. Our street dead ends into an arroyo that runs along the back of our properties. Technically we both own the street in front of our houses but it’s intended use is as a road in the neighborhood. So, our new casita and their new build and walls don’t go into our shared street. I say that because either one of us could’ve built aggressively into the street and probably gotten away with it but we both did the right thing and left the fair and equal use of the space. We’ve even discussed sharing the expense of a car port that uses the whole space. Gold neighbors 👏🏼

      Another great video! Loved the dust bug so much. You are awesome but your wife is amazing! But I know you all ready realize this.
      We love your home and yard. The new place is looking really nice. We live fulltime in Huatulco Oaxaca, in Playa LaBocana a little outside of town. But we are in a small (7) complex. But my husband is so envious of your single family home and yard. 😂 The transition to living in Mexico has been harder for him.
      Would love to hear more about how you deal with that.
      If you guys ever make it down to Huatulco we would love to show you around. We have multiple surf breaks from here to Salina Cruz.
      Love the videos. Thanks for all the hard work.

      Thanks so much for the comment! Astrid is way more awesome for sure, thank you :) I have yet to make it down your way but bc of the waves it’s obviously on my list so maybe we will see you some day soon! I think we both have had a decent time settling in here but the transition is kind of ongoing if im being honest. Females make networks easier, and I’m a bit of recluse. I will say the last 2 years have been better for me since ive been learning filming and editing… so definitely pays to have something to keep you from being idle :)

    "like American style grocery stores". La Comer is 93 years old. It was funded in 1930. I don't think that they copied any American grocery store or do you think that they copied Gristedes in NYC? No, Gristedes is nothing like La Comer, I can tell you that and the prices are ridiculous expensive. lol.
    Speaking about stores, a few things are happening in the US with stores like Walmarts are being closed left and right all over the US and the Westfield mall in downtown San Fran just decided to close its door due to its 50% occupancy in addition to most of the stores in that area as homeless people and robberies have gone through the roof. And in Chicago this week, they had a lot of protests where people were burning police cars, breaking into all stores and stealing everything. It is sad to see all that is happening.
    Awesome video, I don't know anything about the kind of paint that you guys are talking about but I want to see the final result for sure. Keep them coming!

    • @ShauninParadise
      @ShauninParadise  Год назад +2

      Hahahah you always have great commentary. 50% of my audience is from Mexico so they know La Comer, and the rest are mostly from USA and some dont travel so I have to relate to what they know:) haha. For the record I’ll take comer or my local tienda before any NYC food chain… NYC is not the comparison when I say Usa hahah. Nyc markets are furiously overpriced as well. Comer had a sale, we took advantage 🤙🏽 I have zero sympathy for malls shutting down as I made my living in the USA working for small independent retailers. It will all cycle back to small retailers at sone point… let’s hope it’s because of choice and not some incredibly deconstructed future 😜. Thanks as always for your comments 4d ✌🏽
