I'm happy you guys are in Oaxaca, welcome you won't regret it. I'm from Brooklyn NY. , my wife is Mexican. We live in Oaxaca since 2018. We love Oaxaca. Take care God bless!
Hi Angel, You may not have seen our recent videos but we aren't in Oaxaca anymore. We realized it wasn't going to work for us but yes, it has its unique beauty and lovely people. God bless you as well. 🌹
SHE LOL. Yes, yes, I guessed right! Goin' for the mole!!! I can't wait to see more vids! You know what gave it away, I think Steven made some mention, or maybe both of you did, about not quite getting the culinary experiences you were after in QRO in the same sentence or two as moving on! So I thought, hmmmmmm . . . yeah, so glad y'all also found an apartment so soon. Good job!
The shoutout for the convent is one of the reasons I appreciate this channel! 🙏 Big congrats on your move, looking forward to the content. Especially the realistic cost of living info and neighborhoods, etc. That mole looks amazing, made me hungry tonight! 😅
Hey Guys, Thanks 🙏 for saying that...we thought it was really important to share; many ppl are going through tough time. How are things going? Hope all is well with you all as you continue your journey. 💕
I will be living there for a bit once I get to Mexico! Fell in love with Oaxaca. I was there for Dia de Muertos and so much culture and lots to see and the food .. ohh so many tasty are so delish 💖🙏🥳… congrats on your new home city 🙏
Oaxaca is my favorite city and state. The people are amazing. The weather is great, it can get hot in the summer. Best food in Mexico. You are going to make beautiful videos. Felicidades on your new home!
You are in for an adventure in Oaxaca! Such great food and culture. Favorite place for mole is out of town on the way to see the Barro negro and alejibre artists. Enjoy all the varieties of mole. The red is my favorite! There are great mescal factories close by since you liked mescal. The only mescal I like is rompope mescal (tastes like Baileys). Every year there is a huge week long pageant of dancers and cultural groups from all over Mexico that descend upon Oaxaca. Tickets are sold out months in advance. If you haven’t had a marquesita yet, try them! They are delicious!
Oaxaca is great! One of the places I wish to visit. It is the HQ for archeologists since there are important Ancient Mayan sites nearby. I am fascinated by the Mayans and their history. One of the problems with Oaxaca is that it is 6000 feet above sea level. One (such as me, who is 72 years old) has to acclimatize to the altitude. Also: At that altitude a person will get severe sunburn faster. (I am told there are special sun-resistant, long sleeved shirts to help prevent that.) VIVA OAXACA! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
In Oaxaca you won't find Mayan ruins. Those are in Yucatán. The Indians around Oaxaca were the Zapotecs. You can see their ruins at Monte Albán, and Mitla, among others.
So cool that I recognize the areas of the videos 😁 And gotta say - y’all went at perfect time. I was told that after February, it gets challenging finding a place bc of the festivities in July and so on.
bless you for giving to the nuns I grew up going to a school here in Johannesburg South Africa which its teachers were Nuns from the Convent ,I am sure you will love Oaxaca
We’ll be in Queretaro first, for a year or two, living in our daughters house. But after that we have 5 more Mexico cities to check out ( Oaxaca, Morelia, Puebla, Guanajuato, and San Cristobal de las Casas ) and then in Guatemala we want to check out Antigua and Lake Atitlan. Glad you are in Oaxaca ! From my research your cost of living may go down a little bit.
Amazing how anyone can narrow down where to stay in Mx. Looking forward to your adventures there and around! My sister just got on a plane from her visit to Oaxaca city (back to pdx). She didn't see the radish decorations that may be tradition? She enjoyed the city a lot and took tours around.
They actually had the radish festivities on Dec 23rd. We didn't get to go because we were in the middle of moving plus I was a bit under the weather. Maybe you will get to check it out in person one day. 😉
I've vascillated for months on what state in MX to blaxit to for months, and Oaxaca is the place for me! I'll be visiting in March for 6 days prior to the big move in June. I'd love to meet up with you guys when I get there😀
Wow you couldn’t pick a better place then Oaxaca besides queretaro, I’m sure you will find great content in Oaxaca ,my wife and I will be there next year for !!!la guelaguetza celebration’s hope to see run into you there
Lisa Marie what’s your ethnic background? Are your Puertorriqueña? I feel like you speak Spanish well. You need a get to know us video. Background, ethnic, born and raised? what was your career in the USA? Are you retired? How many years married? Children? Etc, etc…
Hi Ana, My father was an Italian immigrant, and my mother is American/ Italian but there is also some Polish roots too. 😉 Thank you 🙏for the words of encouragement...I still have SO much to learn. You know, that is a great idea...we will plan to do that in the future. 💕
Thanks Laura. Believe so...many opportunities to learn the language here for sure. In fact, we've come across people being taught language/ history lessons while in cafes (actually quite interesting).
The distance is 662 kilometers. The trip by car takes 7hr33 min. By bus it is 18 hr. 07 min. By plane it is 2hr 50 minutes with a change in Mexico City.
How is the humidity? Earthquakes? We lived in Veracruz and it was so humid...even in the months that were supposedly cool...loved the city of Fortin De Las Flores and Cordoba..but that humidity was for the birds. Hope you have great weather there.❤️
Oaxaca has low humidity as it lies at an elevation of 1555 meters. The average high is 29º and the average low is 13º, so nights are cool. I lived for fifteen years in Brasilia, which is at 1000 meters elevation, and we had an average temperature of 27º and a low of around 17º. We had no air conditioning and never felt uncomfortable. Oaxaca is even colder at night.
So far, it has been very nice...we are in the Winter though. The climate is definitely nicer than its neighbor, Veracruz. Veracruz is very humid (so the locals say). 😉 Oaxaca does experience about 1/4 of all Mexico's earthquakes though..

You certainly did Darkk Star. 😁
Yay! I hear good things about Oaxaca city! I'm still loving San Cristobal - but Oaxaca also called to me!
We will be sharing our "initial impression" soon. 😉
I stayed in Xiochimilco… not far from centro and felt so safe walking around 9:30/10pm at night too

You are going about it the right way Banana Patch ..very important to check out different cities to find what works best for you.

You have to visit the pyramids. They are amazing.
So excited to hear your reasons for choosing Oaxaca. Does the city still have a good language school? Love pollo mole!
Thanks Laura. Believe so...many opportunities to learn the language here for sure. In fact, we've come across people being taught language/ history lessons while in cafes (actually quite interesting).
@@WhyNotNow Love that idea!
Seems good to see different culture in other states.
Nice to slow travel.
How far is Querétaro to Oxacaxa?
The distance is 662 kilometers. The trip by car takes 7hr33 min. By bus it is 18 hr. 07 min. By plane it is 2hr 50 minutes with a change in Mexico City.
@@rayvogensen2983 thank you
It's about 8 hours give or take by car. We actually flew in and it was about an 1 1/2 on each plane (had to connect in CDMX).
How is the humidity? Earthquakes? We lived in Veracruz and it was so humid...even in the months that were supposedly cool...loved the city of Fortin De Las Flores and Cordoba..but that humidity was for the birds. Hope you have great weather there.❤️

What about moving to Queratero with kids? I got 2 girls, 10 and 12. Would it be a good fit for them?
Queretaro is a beautiful, and safe city. It is definitely a family oriented city. We've done many videos showing different parts of Queretaro.
new drinking game ?? every time ya'll say "guys"
😄😉 You got us....
