Just an unedited clip riding in the back of Manual’s truck. With him and his son Frank (my brother in law. Acting, well like Frank). In Guanajuato Mexico.
Please, feel free to post up any content on progress at the Hotel. I'm not overly wealthy, but I do enjoy the fantasy of perhaps visiting and letting you shame me at a few games of chess with a view :)
I can see the attraction of your future home. I hope it all works out well for you and your wife. Of course, I hope that you can find a way to keep producing videos. Your knowledge is invaluable. You are a very talented, modest and decent man - a rare combination in our current troubled world.
@@CMTeamCobra The one place had a balcony porch. Your view is the tunnel, rock wall, and street. Your sound is the traffic. So glad I live out in the country.
Live free and die in Mexico. No one cares. You saw the police car in the video. I love the USA (my country) but you aren’t really in the land of the free, like they say.
For the true Mexico experience, you should be sitting on a few dozen 55 gallon drums of gasoline while navigating a winding cliff side road. I was behind those guys in Baja once. All the gas stations had been closed as punishment for corruption and gas was being sold on the side of the road hand pumped from said trucks.
Beautiful city! But I'm thinking, what if you need an ambulance or fire fighters.. There is no faster way, no shortcuts.. You can't go to one place and return the same way :)
There are other ways around, the panorama road that circles the city. It runs right behind our building. Also the city is small you can pretty much get anywhere about in the time this video takes. The fire station (“Parque de bomberos” in Spanish) just happens to be just below us (the starting place in this video) on the highway coming into the city. But you are correct if they have an accident in one of the tunnels it can take a while to clear it out. That said I have never seen this so far in my times here. Only heard about it from others.
@Onerouss My sister and I would look for them while on road trips and on spotting one, the first or quickest would say "slug bug and no returns" and then the loser would get a slug on the shoulder. Think it was around the end of the 1960's that VW announced the end of them. Didn't know they were still making them anywhere. For an air cooled engine, they never seemed to ware out. I think they were one of the first cars to get over a million miles on one.
This was yesterday April 23 2024. Yes this city has no normal intersecting streets and all the tunnels are one way. So if you take the wrong path you can get lost very easily. But as you see traffic flows very well. There are no stop lights in this city. People drive differently here.
I bought drugs from that dude in the 90’s

Very colorful city. All the time you are driving around, lots of traffic and no horn honking.

Man those streets.......claustrophobic

Wow, this just reminded me how old I am now - it's been 18 years since I visited Guanajuato during a trip to set up a new office in Leon.
Interesting architecture, pothole free roads , what a lovely place.
What a beautiful interesting place. Awesome. Thank you
At first I thought, isn't that illegal to stand in the back of a truck like that. But it's Mexico.

Your followers love you even in this new venture❤❤
Glad to see you are still a kid at heart!

@@EdgePrecision I took a look at Google maps now :) Really interesting little city. Thanks for sharing!
Really beautiful town
Was surprised to see at least two old VW Bugs. It was maybe early 1990's that I was still seeing them on the road in Sioux Falls, SD.
They were popular in Mexico, enough so that production of them lasted until 2003.

yep that's us 100%
A bit of fun :D .
Was there last year, if you don't have someone who knows were they are going you could get lost real easy. :D

@@EdgePrecision I should have said... "I" was there last year :D Beautiful city!
That was cool!
