I feel you on the kidney stones. I had never had any issues before and then one day, I was sick like I couldn't believe. I literally thought I must have cancer and was dying. I was calling family to tell them I loved them, because I didn't know why I was in so much pain. It's a pain I don't wish on ANYONE. And then, one day, I'm using the bathroom and "ploop", these little grains came out and fell into the toilet. And from that very moment, I was fine. That's when I realized what it was. And I also realized it was all triggered for me by drinking green tea. Hope you both are staying safe and healthy.
aw, ouch! It feels awful and I wouldn't wish that on anyone! it's good that you figured out what triggers it for you. For me it's usually spicy liquids but still waiting on test results to confirm other details.
The wife & I love dinning. We are considering Queretaro as a second home. I have not seen any Queretaro videos on the night life or fine dinning. Can you do a video on fine dining. Bear Down!!
we have one video on Queretaro night life: ruclips.net/video/bC3vPaAELec/видео.html but none yet on fine dining I'm afraid.. maybe next time we're in Queretaro!
Maybe one day! We reached out to them but we never got any response but we know how busy RUclips life is so we understand but we'll see what the future brings.
Hi guys, I love your videos. You guys are very inspiring. My wife and I are planning to move to Mexico as well to get back to our roots and just get to know better our culture. But my family is not very supportive with my decision they don’t understand why I want to live in Mexico when they made a sacrifice to come to America. My question is, did you guys get any backlash from any family members When you moved to Mexico?Thanks!
We expected lots of backlash from family but actually didn’t get as much as we thought… more so they are curious as to why we made the decision. They feared for us but felt comfort in knowing (or perhaps hoping?) that if it didn’t work out we could always just go back to the US. They didn’t/don’t fully understand it but they now support us as they see how happy we are 😊
You guys are doing exactly what my wife and I are planning on doing starting in December. We are both half Hispanic but grew up in America. I have lots of family in San Luis and Tampico. We too want to broaden our horizons and learn about our heritages. Thank you for doing this series.. it’s seriously inspiring! Lol we’re coming down with huskies..that’ll be fun!
Okay...lots of questions??? How or what did you do to secure a job in the US? Use your Chicago address? Does employer need to know you're in Mexico? Any job recommendations that pay US dollars? What did you do with all your extra belongings that you are not traveling with? Storage unit? Family's house? Do you still pay for full coverage on your Jeep or is it storage insurance? Do you still have health coverage in the US? Did you buy health coverage in Mexico or just pay out of pocket? Did you keep your US phone number and purchase SIM in Mexico?
Wow that is a lot of questions lol - found out about an opening through a friend for a 100% remote position - yes, we use our illinois address for the job and filing taxes (the house we lived in belongs to a family member, so dealing with mail and whatnot is easy) - yes, employer knows we’re in Mexico - don’t have any specific company recommendations but you can look into logistics, customer service, IT, etc depending on your skill set and background. Check Indeed and Google for fully remote job openings. - sold most of our belongings and kept only things of sentimental value, which we have stored at our parents’ house - jeep is stored in family garage. Only storage insurance. We’re thinking about selling it now. - no healthcare coverage in the US, currently - we pay out of pocket for medical expenses in Mexico - both, we still have our US phone service (international coverage for North America through AT&T) and we have a Mexican SIM card (just one). We use WhatsApp to text with locals and our normal phone service to stay in touch with fam/friends in the US.
Appreciate that Ramon! That's what we felt RUclips been missing some primos/ homies we could relate to. So we are super happy you found us! Saludos! Feel free to offer any suggestions or advice for future videos.
@@EatBailaTravel Well, now that you mention it...lol. You MUST devote some video time to Emperor Maximilian Hapsburg. Few Chicanos know of him. The last part of his life was right there in Queretaro at El Cerro de las Campanas.
@@luisramonrodriguez2875 for sure! We live a couple of blocks away from las campanas. We meant to include it on our Querétaro video but we’re saving it for another video. Just gotta figure out how lol
11:50 that’s FACTS it’s hard for a mexican american la Raza be mad as well as everybody else too I’m jus trynna live 🥵 when I first came to AR I had to fight in school everyday cuz of my skin & what I look like
My dad’s family is from a small farming town in Jalisco, close to Guadalajara. Have you been to Mazamitla? Ajijic? Tapalpa? Lago de Chapala? Jalisco is where it’s at! 😉 💕 P.S. I also LOVE pizza! Much love to you guys! Keep on keeping on. Dios los bendiga. Saludos from home, Las Vegas, NV.
We actually haven’t explored much of Jalisco outside of GDL and PV so we definitely plan to hit up all those places too! Have heard great things about mazamitla especially! Gracias por las porras Maryvel 🙏🏽💖🫶🏼
Have you guys been to Morelia? I don’t think it’s too far from there. If I were looking to settle down I’d choose there as it’s affordable and has everything.
@@EatBailaTravel I did, I made a playlist of each Capital and I took a picture in front of all the Governor Palaces. Mexican State Capitols: ruclips.net/p/PL49TjrNcERSdux1MNocDrYT8qIVed7mI0
Another enjoyable video, and as Querétaro is high on my list of cities to explore once I get to Mexico (happening pretty soon!), I'll look forward to your videos on it. As I watched and you asked for ideas, a couple popped into my head: 1) Something you don't often see in typical travel videos is information about volunteer opportunities that would be suitable for expats (& you talked about getting more plugged in to the community). I know some people like to get involved with animal rescue, for example. I like working with younger people (teens & young adults). In the U.S. I spent a number of years volunteering at a local juvenile detention facility. When I was in Guanajuato I volunteered with the language lab at the university there and would do English conversation groups with anybody that would show up (usually UG students), and if/when I settle in Mexico I'd like to find similar opportunities. 2) I'm someone who thinks they probably can't dance, but maybe if I found a good teacher (probably starting with one-on-one private lessons) I might consider trying. So maybe you could look into opportunities for us dance-challenged people.
how exciting! When do you arrive to Mexico? Love the ideas, thank you. We have a little over a month left here, so we should be able ton gather that to include in a video.
@@EatBailaTravel I haven't made my flight plans yet but I'm currently aiming for the first week of August. Then I'll have to spend some time sorting out my TR visa before I'm really ready to start exploring.
our favorite hike in Queretaro so far is at the Peña de Bernal. We have a video on that hike, have you seen it? Or have you been yourself? It's incredible!
@@EatBailaTravel was in Queretaro for a couple of days. I’ll check out your video for that hike you took. I really enjoyed Xalapa a lot because of its nature parks in the city . Same with Orizaba. Queretaro felt a bit sterile. But I wasn’t there that long. Oaxaca has been good but lacks the nature parks I crave. You have to travel 45 minutes out of the city to be in real nature.
Guys! For your chronic conditions you should work your emotions! All diseases come from something emotional going on and sometimes it’s even ancestral! I can recommend someone. His sessions are in person and also online! He is in Irapuato, Guanajuato. Let me know! Also a suggestion, maybe start doing Spanish videos? You would probably gain more followers! Saludos!
Hey Karen, thanks soo much for the suggestion. Actually, I 100% agree with you and I know in heart that my physical chronic pain is related to emotions. The book that enlightened this for me is called "The Body Keeps Score" and it's about how trauma lives in the body. I am clinically diagnosed with C-PTSD and fibromyalgia and my psychotherapy sessions have directly impacted my physical ailments. I stopped seeing that therapist a few months ago because it was no longer financially sustainable to pay USD out of pocket for virtual mental health services, but I would love to get in touch with your recommendation from Guanajuato! Send me an email with his info please? eatbailatravel@gmail.com
@@EatBailaTravel you must be very familiar with abbreviations of places because I could not understand at first but re reading this I figured it out That you were not talking about not physical education rather Puerto Escondido 🤷🏻♂️✌️
@@dinaflores oh hahaha oops I totally misread your comment I thought you were a real estate agent 🤣 but yes I’ll make a note and try to make that happen!
Hi Jenny and Kevin. Sorry to hear about your health issues. I have a couple of Mexican friends who can't tolerate spicy food, so, Kevin, maybe just take it easy and avoid street food for a while and see how you feel. Regarding customer service complaints, I would encourage you to focus elsewhere. Anyway, I wish you two all the best. Take care, Fred
Yea definitely toning it down on the street food. And we’re not usually complainers but we’ve been frustrated with internet providers - we’ve been without service for 3 weeks and we rely on internet for our work. Trying not to stress, but also we can’t make a living without it 😓
Hello Jenny and Kevin, I love your videos and love that you are showing our beautiful Mexico Lindo y Querido. We are thinking of retiring in Queretaro. We would love if you could do a cost of living break down while you are there, including: Grocery Shopping and Restaurants. That will be a great help. If everything goes well, we might visit in October. My husband and I relate to you guys alot since we are MexicanAmericans. Keep up the good work and we just subscribe so we get all the alerts when new videos are up. Enjoy Mexico!!!!❤❤❤
Hey Maria welcome to the channel ❤️🤗 we love when other Mexican-Americans join us on this journey, it's more fun to share with others but especially with those who can relate 😊 We are planning to share more about our cost of living on the brief (2 months) that we'll be here, hopefully that'll be enough to give you a good idea! 🙂
There are a wide range of options for different budgets and lifestyles. We’re going to do some research and make a video on cost of living here to get a better idea
A collab with youtubers who have followed their partners who got deported would be an interesting series. I think it's so incredible how they can adjust to life based on necessity rather than by choice. I'm glad you are still enjoying your lives in México. As far as feeling like an outsider in the U.S., I totally get it. I'm a chicana from Arizona and like you said, if you leave your bubble you can be confronted by a lot of racism and suspicion as to your "true citizenship". Pero ni modo les guste o no si somos 💪😄
What's up my fellow chicagoans? I'm so glad I ran into your channel, just saw a few videos and you guys do a great job, keep it up! Question, are you from the Garfield Ridge area in chicago, cus that's where I live? You mentioned Obbies pizza 🍕 twice, it is pretty good pizza! You guys are so young, I envy you guys, doing something very special, keep enjoying life!
Hey! We’re from Cicero and Obbie’s is like a 10 minute drive from us 😊 happy to come across another Obbie’s fan. Enjoy some for us! Thanks for the shoutout and welcome to the channel 😊😊
My wife and baby will be there at the end of the month. We’ll be there for a month or so. Can you link me up with your b-ball squad. Gotta keep the figure cuz tacos be everywhere here! 😂😂😂
Omg, to settle for Domino’s you MUST have been in a bad way! 😜 Definitely feel you on the “backwards” sentiment, though. For real. Curious to hear more about the customer service “experience” there. You guys are lookin’ healthy & happy - keep going! ❤️
I can’t even remember the last time I had Domino’s in the US! 😅 grade school maybe? I don’t remember if I liked it or not but it wasn’t something I ever craved. To my surprise, I actually really like Domino’s in Mexico 😁 lol
Our family is tri-racial and we live in the Deep South. We are primarily hispanic ( Nicaragua ), but after three decades here we are happy to say that we have never felt like we weren’t “ American enough “. Sad that you had that feeling in Chicago.
Chicago is a super diverse city and for the most part, welcoming to people of color and immigrants. We grew up in predominantly Mexican communities, but we still felt the effects whenever we stepped out of that bubble. Glad to hear your diverse family feels a sense of belonging in the south :)
If you have a chance to fit in Puebla on your schedule that would be nice to spend a couple days there because from there you could visit Cholula and Chipilo, an Italian town. I visited there couple months ago and was able to fit in Puebla and Cholula in one day but I needed a couple days to visit the surrounding towns. I could also recommend a nice modern hotel in Puebla if you go there. I don’t know if you communicate via email but I can send you a message that way. Saludos y bendiciones a ambos ✌️
Can you touch a little on cost of living there ? You have lived in Orizaba too, I believe….we understand that Orizaba is very inexpensive and Queretaro is a little pricier than most Mexican cities, correct ? Perhaps you could share with us the difference between the two in total monthly expenses ? Thanks very much !
Yes, we were in Orizaba for a few weeks and really enjoyed it, and correct, Queretaro is one of the more expensive cities when it comes to cost of living. A comparison video is a great idea, we've already started taking notes on cost of living :) thanks so much!
Orizaba we love but not for right now. While we're young and childless we like the idea of living in a beach town or a bigger city with lots going on. Orizaba could be an option in the future when there are kids in the picture :)
I've watched all of your videos. You guys are great, very down to earth. I think you guys made the right move, moving to Mexico. I've been wanting to retire in Queretaro since early 2020. But I haven't made a move yet because of the Covid. Please talk more about best neighborhoods to rent in Queretaro and more about health care access. By the way how is the air quality? I've been checking on the internet here in the States; it may not be accurate though.
Wow thank you so much for watching all of our videos, that means a lot! Renting, healthcare, noted ☑️. Air quality is very good in my opinion compared to other cities of similar size. There are some days where the weather app indicates a reduction in air quality but I haven’t felt a noticeable difference
I have a question pertaining to your other video in San Cristobal! Do you think that an expatriate that isn't fluent in Spanish could live and make it there?
Hello, I enjoy your videos. Stress weakens the immune system. Trying to live off a new RUclips channel has to be tough. Give you lots of props for trying. If you want your channel to grow (blow up) you need more consistency and quantity. It's not even so much about what you say in your videos, it more about the energy you transmit. Your message needs to be inclusive and/or universal. Best of luck!
Have you been to Balandra beach? A few hours north of Cabo and near La Paz. It might be the best beach in all of Mexico 🇲🇽 if you want more of a party scene, check out Mazatlán or Sayulita
Hi Jenny, do you have IT experience? I have a good lead for IT work in Qro if you are interested.. just a thought. If you like I can email the contact to you.
Hi Daniel, I don't have IT experience but I appreciate the thought! My background is in higher education, enrollment management and international programs. My hope is when we stop traveling and settle down somewhere in Mexico that I might be able to work with a university (Queretaro has lots!) 🙂
Querétaro is actually known to have a higher cost of living compared to many other Mexican cities but having a USD income does help make it much more affordable for those who work internationally or remotely
yo soy de chicago como vosotros, pero no vivia alla hace mas de veinte anos. cada viaje a chicago, yo traigo un pizza de lou malnatis a tejas. yo pase cinco dias en queretaro el verano pasado como un experimento para escapar el calor. este verano, voy a probar aguascalientes basado en mi investigacion. gracias por su opinions de aguasacalientes porque no es comun y facil para investigar de los estados unidos. sus videos son los mejores
muchas gracias amigo 😊 Aguascalientes también es una ciudad muy padre! Buen clima y mucho ambiente de fiesta ... y no me lo vas a creer pero nunca he probado la pizza de lou malnatis! 😅 - Jenny
@@EatBailaTravel acabo de viajar a Aguascalietes hace siete dias este agosto. me encanto Aguascalientes. pienso que prefiero Aguascalientes a Queretaro (pero solamente lleve cuatro dias en Queretaro el verano pasado y no fue tiempo sufficiente). solamente mi opinion. quizas porque hay menos turismo y vendadores de calle que queretaro. pero todavia tiene arte y architectura muy padre. quizas menos musica que queretaro, pero no me molesta. prefiero la comida y vida noche de aguascalientes. pero no soy mexicano y no podia encontrar la comida buena de queretaro como vosotros. y aguascalientes es un centro de negocios tambien. por eso, es mas desarollado que la mayoria de ciudades de bajio. AGU me parece seguro, limpia y fresca, las carictaristicas mas importante por mi. y AGU es mas barato que QRO, por eso, mis dollares compran mas. este invierno voy a probar huatulco despues de zona mecca in D.F. y no puedo esperar regresar a AGU el verano proximo.
I feel you on the kidney stones. I had never had any issues before and then one day, I was sick like I couldn't believe. I literally thought I must have cancer and was dying. I was calling family to tell them I loved them, because I didn't know why I was in so much pain. It's a pain I don't wish on ANYONE. And then, one day, I'm using the bathroom and "ploop", these little grains came out and fell into the toilet. And from that very moment, I was fine. That's when I realized what it was. And I also realized it was all triggered for me by drinking green tea.
Hope you both are staying safe and healthy.
aw, ouch! It feels awful and I wouldn't wish that on anyone! it's good that you figured out what triggers it for you. For me it's usually spicy liquids but still waiting on test results to confirm other details.

lol yea it's a problem... we're looking forward to venting about it in our Culture Shocks part 2 video 😅
Are you considering going north of Mexico
Yes absolutely! Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango, Nuevo Leon again..
Hello Jenny and Kevin, I love your videos and love that you are showing our beautiful Mexico Lindo y Querido. We are thinking of retiring in Queretaro. We would love if you could do a cost of living break down while you are there, including: Grocery Shopping and Restaurants. That will be a great help.
If everything goes well, we might visit in October.
My husband and I relate to you guys alot since we are MexicanAmericans.
Keep up the good work and we just subscribe so we get all the alerts when new videos are up.
Enjoy Mexico!!!!❤❤❤
Hey Maria welcome to the channel ❤️🤗 we love when other Mexican-Americans join us on this journey, it's more fun to share with others but especially with those who can relate 😊 We are planning to share more about our cost of living on the brief (2 months) that we'll be here, hopefully that'll be enough to give you a good idea! 🙂
Hi guys how expensive is queretaro rent?
There are a wide range of options for different budgets and lifestyles. We’re going to do some research and make a video on cost of living here to get a better idea
A collab with youtubers who have followed their partners who got deported would be an interesting series. I think it's so incredible how they can adjust to life based on necessity rather than by choice. I'm glad you are still enjoying your lives in México.
As far as feeling like an outsider in the U.S., I totally get it. I'm a chicana from Arizona and like you said, if you leave your bubble you can be confronted by a lot of racism and suspicion as to your "true citizenship". Pero ni modo les guste o no si somos 💪😄
yea that'd be a really cool collab idea. Do you suggest any particular channels? I don't know of any specifically like that
What's up my fellow chicagoans? I'm so glad I ran into your channel, just saw a few videos and you guys do a great job, keep it up! Question, are you from the Garfield Ridge area in chicago, cus that's where I live? You mentioned Obbies pizza 🍕 twice, it is pretty good pizza! You guys are so young, I envy you guys, doing something very special, keep enjoying life!
Hey! We’re from Cicero and Obbie’s is like a 10 minute drive from us 😊 happy to come across another Obbie’s fan. Enjoy some for us! Thanks for the shoutout and welcome to the channel 😊😊
Customer service is horrible in mexico its doesn't matter what company..it sad
unfortunately, yea when it comes to the big companies that seems to be true
My wife and baby will be there at the end of the month. We’ll be there for a month or so. Can you link me up with your b-ball squad. Gotta keep the figure cuz tacos be everywhere here! 😂😂😂
Hahaha yea hit me up on Instagram we can go hoop together.
Omg, to settle for Domino’s you MUST have been in a bad way! 😜 Definitely feel you on the “backwards” sentiment, though. For real. Curious to hear more about the customer service “experience” there. You guys are lookin’ healthy & happy - keep going! ❤️
I can’t even remember the last time I had Domino’s in the US! 😅 grade school maybe? I don’t remember if I liked it or not but it wasn’t something I ever craved. To my surprise, I actually really like Domino’s in Mexico 😁 lol
Our family is tri-racial and we live in the Deep South. We are primarily hispanic ( Nicaragua ), but after three decades here we are happy to say that we have never felt like we weren’t “ American enough “. Sad that you had that feeling in Chicago.
Chicago is a super diverse city and for the most part, welcoming to people of color and immigrants. We grew up in predominantly Mexican communities, but we still felt the effects whenever we stepped out of that bubble. Glad to hear your diverse family feels a sense of belonging in the south :)
If you have a chance to fit in Puebla on your schedule that would be nice to spend a couple days there because from there you could visit Cholula and Chipilo, an Italian town. I visited there couple months ago and was able to fit in Puebla and Cholula in one day but I needed a couple days to visit the surrounding towns. I could also recommend a nice modern hotel in Puebla if you go there. I don’t know if you communicate via email but I can send you a message that way.
Saludos y bendiciones a ambos ✌️
Hey Fer, yea for sure we’d appreciate your recommendations 😊 send us a message at eatbailatravel@gmail.com
Can you touch a little on cost of living there ?
You have lived in Orizaba too, I believe….we understand that Orizaba is very inexpensive and Queretaro is a little pricier than most Mexican cities, correct ? Perhaps you could share with us the difference between the two in total monthly expenses ? Thanks very much !
Yes, we were in Orizaba for a few weeks and really enjoyed it, and correct, Queretaro is one of the more expensive cities when it comes to cost of living. A comparison video is a great idea, we've already started taking notes on cost of living :) thanks so much!
Is Orizaba still on your list?
Orizaba we love but not for right now. While we're young and childless we like the idea of living in a beach town or a bigger city with lots going on. Orizaba could be an option in the future when there are kids in the picture :)
I've watched all of your videos. You guys are great, very down to earth. I think you guys made the right move, moving to Mexico. I've been wanting to retire in Queretaro since early 2020. But I haven't made a move yet because of the Covid. Please talk more about best neighborhoods to rent in Queretaro and more about health care access. By the way how is the air quality? I've been checking on the internet here in the States; it may not be accurate though.
Wow thank you so much for watching all of our videos, that means a lot! Renting, healthcare, noted ☑️. Air quality is very good in my opinion compared to other cities of similar size. There are some days where the weather app indicates a reduction in air quality but I haven’t felt a noticeable difference
I have a question pertaining to your other video in San Cristobal! Do you think that an expatriate that isn't fluent in Spanish could live and make it there?
You won’t find as many English speaking people as you might in a bigger city, but I think it’s possible to get by with basic-intermediate Spanish.
Customer service in Mexico is definitely not the same as it is in the U.S. At least from my experience
yea we're getting first-hand experience with that right now 😅
Hello, I enjoy your videos. Stress weakens the immune system. Trying to live off a new RUclips channel has to be tough. Give you lots of props for trying. If you want your channel to grow (blow up) you need more consistency and quantity. It's not even so much about what you say in your videos, it more about the energy you transmit. Your message needs to be inclusive and/or universal.
Best of luck!
Thanks, Enrique 🙂 you’re totally right!
Congrats Kevin.
Been in MTY this week. The wife wants to go to a beach (done Cabo and Cancun). What place do you all recommend?
Hope you stay healthy.
Have you been to Balandra beach? A few hours north of Cabo and near La Paz. It might be the best beach in all of Mexico 🇲🇽 if you want more of a party scene, check out Mazatlán or Sayulita
Durango
We look forward to Durango!
🤠🍉🍓🍍
Yummm fruit..
Ya regrésense a su hermoso Chicago.
Ya regrese a su hermoso Mexico 🇲🇽🤭
This RUclipsr is there in Queretaro as well ruclips.net/user/BackpackingBrunette
ah yes, does she still leave here? we should reach out
@@EatBailaTravel I believe she does.
Hi Jenny, do you have IT experience? I have a good lead for IT work in Qro if you are interested.. just a thought. If you like I can email the contact to you.
Hi Daniel, I don't have IT experience but I appreciate the thought! My background is in higher education, enrollment management and international programs. My hope is when we stop traveling and settle down somewhere in Mexico that I might be able to work with a university (Queretaro has lots!) 🙂
@@EatBailaTravel Sounds like a nice career. Best Wishes to you guys🙂!
You're so americanised though
We’re both Mexican and US American
I heard Queretaro is affordable.
Querétaro is actually known to have a higher cost of living compared to many other Mexican cities but having a USD income does help make it much more affordable for those who work internationally or remotely
yo soy de chicago como vosotros, pero no vivia alla hace mas de veinte anos. cada viaje a chicago, yo traigo un pizza de lou malnatis a tejas.
yo pase cinco dias en queretaro el verano pasado como un experimento para escapar el calor. este verano, voy a probar aguascalientes basado en mi investigacion. gracias por su opinions de aguasacalientes porque no es comun y facil para investigar de los estados unidos. sus videos son los mejores
muchas gracias amigo 😊 Aguascalientes también es una ciudad muy padre! Buen clima y mucho ambiente de fiesta ... y no me lo vas a creer pero nunca he probado la pizza de lou malnatis! 😅 - Jenny
@@EatBailaTravel acabo de viajar a Aguascalietes hace siete dias este agosto. me encanto Aguascalientes. pienso que prefiero Aguascalientes a Queretaro (pero solamente lleve cuatro dias en Queretaro el verano pasado y no fue tiempo sufficiente).
solamente mi opinion. quizas porque hay menos turismo y vendadores de calle que queretaro. pero todavia tiene arte y architectura muy padre. quizas menos musica que queretaro, pero no me molesta. prefiero la comida y vida noche de aguascalientes. pero no soy mexicano y no podia encontrar la comida buena de queretaro como vosotros. y aguascalientes es un centro de negocios tambien. por eso, es mas desarollado que la mayoria de ciudades de bajio. AGU me parece seguro, limpia y fresca, las carictaristicas mas importante por mi. y AGU es mas barato que QRO, por eso, mis dollares compran mas.
este invierno voy a probar huatulco despues de zona mecca in D.F. y no puedo esperar regresar a AGU el verano proximo.
@@gametime-bw3zk la verdad que sí Aguascalientes tiene mucho y muy buena ciudad para vivir! También nos encantó
