We have a scavenger hunt for you! In this video, try to find: - A Ghost - Rat - Unicorn - Talking bug I didn't notice the unicorn until my 3rd time viewing the video and I didn't see the ghost until I watched it for a 4th time. WATCH NEXT: A playlist of the 10 videos May and I have made together: ruclips.net/p/PL_1iJW4YPFcMH9qYICC1ohjgiHqUmJDhv
Tu novia es muy bonita, esos ojos oscuros con mirada profunda no me permite skip your video cada vez que sale ella, ojalá yo algún día pueda encontrar alguien como Mayra, esa mujer simplemente es preciosa, hermosa. Valora por qué creo que hay cientos de hombres asiendo fila por ella.
What a fabulous travel video filled with tidbits of information that cannot be found anywhere else. And starring my favorite boy and girl next door living and loving Mexico! Thank you Jordan and May. Give Laska a hug.
Your videos just keep getting better with each one. The content, your back and forth conversations. May has quickly overcome her early shyness and adds so much to everything. I would enjoy hearing you two explain and compare your public school experiences and everyday growing up stories.
How did May go from being so shy in the first few videos to becoming such a natural narrator? Anyway, these videos are becoming more and more enjoyable.
@@lizdahl847 Too, I think like a lot of people: shy at first, then when you see all is well, you open up. But yeah, give her a few months and she'll be a TV anchor. Or she'll be buying out Tangerine Travels from Jordan (is he screws this up, which he won't; you don't let a May get away)!
Wonderful tour. Mai brings a lot of cultural and historic explanations and it is most appreciated. Her English is very good. She is a fast learner. Beautiful couple ! Thank you to both of you. Jordan is always a pleasure to listen to. Greetings from Canada.
Great job, both of you! This was one of the best video's to date! Very genuine and professional! You two make a wonderful couple for touring Mexico! A class act!
Beautiful turnaround on this channel everything is absolutely gorgeous and enjoy the positive aspects of Mexico 🇲🇽 unlike before where it kept having labels of being scammed or negative remarks which I had unsubscribed but subscribed again … both of you are a pleasure to watch ❤️🌟
@@mgtowmonger2729 agree 💯 and extremely happy to see the positive side of Mexico and learn of many places and food I am not familiar with like escamoles or the delicious apple 🍎 ice cream 🍦 I had unsubscribed but RUclips prompted me with this channel again and it’s amazing to see the turnaround I was so offended every time I saw a label about “we got scammed “ or “the bad side of Mexico “ etc! Just glad to see a brand new positive channel… 🙌🏼❤️💯🌟
Glad to see you travel to cities around Querétaro. There are so many places around Querétaro that you can visit in a weekend just a couple of hours away. Plus May is a local that knows the customs and traditions of the area a big +
The videos with your new girlfriend are so much more pleasant to watch than those from before. Your girlfriend informs well, speaks in a relaxed manner. Also you seem to be much more relaxed since you are with May. Keep up the good work.
Refreshing to see something else than the usual suspects of mexican destinations. Amazing places and wow so cheap even in current times. Go back whenever you can!! Thanks for sharing
I agree that May is gracious and beautiful and is soft in demeanor and yet... powerful! Her & Jordan's chemistry shows magic. I loved that he wanted to share part of his delicious pastee with her. They are so kind to one another. They have my adoration.
Es verdad. I've visited 14 nations on 4 continents (my parents have seen 45 on FIVE continents) & we've never seen a more beautifully diverse country ANYWHERE. We were born on the WORLD's most beautiful land and we just DON'T EXPLORE MEXICO's SIZE ENOUGH.
I am actually looking into possibly moveing down to Mexico from the U.S. I'm retired I am wanting to find a area were the Temperature isnt real hot but also has cool nights.i want something in the higher altitude but also were I can grow a garden year round as gardening is a pation of mine. If any of u all know a area like that let me know.
You two are so sweet 💕 I used to watch you way back with your ex. May is so low key and gentle. Glad you are her new love. The vibes now are so adorable. Keep showing all the good food and your blessed life together. One request. Please show some of the churches or cathedrals. I am an art fanatic and love the Mexican baroque architecture. Thanks. Big hugs to Laska too. Stay safe. Happy weekend.
I love Mexico's colonial architecture too. I have quite a few books on the subject and five decades ago after a five month trip throughout Mexico the art department at SDSU (San Diego) bought about 600 of my slides of Mexican churches and archaeological sites. They didn't have photos of many of the sites I visited. Back then one could travel on $10 a day, although most of the accommodations I found would no longer be acceptable by most US tourists, especially the room in San Miguel de Allende that cost 25 cents. It was clean but really bare bones. If you are interested and can find my comments I listed five Hidalgo conventos that anyone interested in Mexico's colonial architecture should try to see. I hope you have an opportunity to see them.
We got her some winter boots before this trip that helped her out a ton. They provided a lot of foot and ankle support along with warmth, which to our surprise, kept most of the pain away.
Jordan & May! Great video ....Wow! Makes me want to visit there during one of my Mexico trips 😀Thank you for the informative video and great idea about having little details at the end of the video. Im definitely going to try escamoles when I visit again! Thanks and look forward to your next video! Cheers!
Absolutely great video. Definitely will be doing that trip from San Miguel de Allende. Great idea May on the recap. Super helpful. Would love to see more road trips.
It is obvious that you enjoy each other's company. Nice to listen in. The camera really likes May, don't you think? The hat she wore at the start was perfect on her.
In California gold country, Cornish pasties (pronounced "past-ees") are optionally topped with gravy. The Cornish miners took pasties underground as a compact yet filling whole meal.
I’ve been with Tangerine since the beginning. May is a wonderful addition to the channel. I can relate, as a fellow Hispanic who also doesn’t like spicy 🌶 food. I don’t need a Scoville scale to measure the heat of my food. 🥵
Out of all Hispanics, only Mexicans eat spicy food. Maybe Peruvians eat it here and there in some of their dishes, but Mexicans are the only ones who have spicy chilies in most of their foods. Greetings!
@@JoeSmith-ym5rv And even some Thai, Indian, Korean, and Southern Chinese cuisine can compete with our Mexican food. (I've been to China, Korea & Thailand and KNOW that some of their spicy food would send THIS Mexican to the HOSPITAL. lol
finalmente el mundo conoce el verdadero Mexico. Con mas bellos lugares. No Solo las trampas turisticas que todos los youtubers repiten y se copian. MAY es nuestra adorable chica. Sacando nuestro orgullo adelante! Esos hermosos sombreros. Te hacen ver como una munequita Mexicana o la iconica Audrey Hepburn. Pero ahora latina! Si. Has un canal en espanol. cocinando y haciendo recaps de los viajes y Jordan aprendiendo espanol. Sera gracioso. Para que lo vean millones de hispanos tambien. Este es tu lugar chica.
Impresionante. Es divertido ver estos videos con los dos. May agrega un toque muy especial a estos videos y disfruto las conversaciones y narraciones entre ustedes. ¡Los sitios y las excursiones son impresionantes!
I find the show much more interesting now. I'm not saying anything negative about your x girl but your new girl is from Mexico and we get an insider view point. Before it was 2 american outsiders experience and now we get the experience of one outsider and one insider.
You brought bitter sweet memories back. When I was a kid in the early 70's my sister would bring this ice cream inside an orange and I loved it. I often remember the taste so very vividly, but I have never seen them again. She used to buy them at "La Mariposa." If you guys find them here in Queretaro, please publish it. I haven't had them for decades. Love you May!!!
Very nice! Entertaining and full of information on Mexico. I did not know any of this information and was very impressed with both of your presentations. Well done!
What a fabulous video! As soon as we get a car, that will be our second road trip after SMA. I love the explanations of the history and tips on where to get yummy unique food. The French toast looks amazing. I too don't like overly sweet things. Laska looked super happy. More road trips yay!
Yes, I would love to see more videos of Hidalgo and I enjoyed the re-cap. It makes for good way to close out your video and ask for ideas/questions from the viewers. Thank you!😃
Wow, what a fun video! You guys took us all over and tried all types of interesting foods! I really liked all the explaining and stories you guys told - makes this so interesting :)
Welcome to Huasca! My wife and me live in San Miguel Regla (although we’re in Mexico City for the weekend), pretty close to the Hacienda, and I can definitely tell you the surroundings are beautiful and worth a visit! Hope you enjoyed it!!
Hola! It's my very first time commenting on your Tangerine Travel channel. May is muy bonita! As a former tour guide in USA y overseas, I enjoyed the historic aspects (especially the ghost👻). I've watched Tangerine Travel before 'May' but her smile will definitely keep me watching more regularly from now on. Muchas gracias!
Amazing stuff to see in Mexico. Love your way of presenting these locations and your choice in girlfriend😉 lol. God bless you guys on your future endeavors and relationship. A pleasure to watch you guys interact....Love ya guys. P.s. be safe out there🇲🇽🇺🇸🇦🇷✌️
Very good video. May adds a depth to the history of the places you visit and also to the food. She is quite the pro with her commentaries after such a short while. I am impressed. I love you both and Laska too!
My brother in law is from Hidalgo and he always made it sound like it was a dirt poor horrible place to be from. Your video sheds a much more positive light! I’m looking forward to visiting now.
Great travel video! Cute little rata. It's like walking around with friends, very personal. You are both very humble and I love that you aren't doing hard-core adventure videos trying to show off how "cool" you are, like many RUclipsrs. It's very refreshing. It looks like a beautiful area--thanks for taking us along 🤗
One minute in, but gotta stop and comment. Jordan totally needs a new wardrobe now if he's gonna keep sitting next to his flawless new girlfriend lol Just a small update on the threads dude, she just looks so on point and then there's you with the gecko shirt ;) I say this with much love, like a sister would tell ya!
I was seriously thinking the same thing! No offense but he dresses like a kid. She looks sophisticated and classy. I don't know how he gets by. *porfavor compra ropa refinada* tu novia lo apreciaría.
@@natepolitics1490 I married my husband 16 years ago for who he was on the inside not his clothes, and I'm all for loving people for who they are trust me, but he needed help with his wardrobe and he's thankful I stepped up, It's what I was created for, to be his helper.
I liked the recap! It's such a pleasure to watch your videos! Jordan, you've grown leaps. & bounds in your narrations since the early days! May, you are a delightful addition to the channel! It's nice to get the inside scoops from a native Mexican as you show us your country.
I loved the recap! Great suggestion May! I enjoyed the video too. So glad you were able to get out of your comfort zone May and travel. Good job Jordan on making her feel secure!
Jordan and Mayra, I really enjoy your videos. It's always so nice to follow you and to go on the next adventure through your great work. Thank you for sharing!!
I am so enjoying your videos ❤. May is adorable and I like the historical info she adds. Of course the food sounds wonderful-fresh and interesting. Jan
Actually there are many... Didn't you know that many of the American Bilingual Call Centers are running from Mexico (mainly México City, Guadalajara and Monterrey). Some of us have a strong accent but some others don't and besides, some people have never been in United States or Canada 💖✨💕 I would like to add that I have met wonderful American people with no hispanic background and they speak very good Spanish ✅
Loveee the mythical creatures, thank you for taking us there! Would love to know if there's any more places like that around Mexico you guys can show us!
I’m Mexican and my great-grandmother was from Real del monte. She came from Ireland with her father and brothers. Her father works with Cornish in the mines. A lot of people in Real del Monte have Cornish ancestry, but not only came from England also Ireland. The houses and the food have a English style, for example pastes is a British traditional food, especially in the south like Cornwall England. In fact, Hidalgo state specially Real del monte, have the most English ancestry in all of Mexico, even inside of Mexico a lot of people don’t know this.
The Duende place was really cute like the Kelpie you adopted. You can find Helados Chalco in Pachuca, Tijuana, Tlaxcala, Acapulco/Zihuatanejo, Merida/Yucatan/Campeche, Veracruz/Oax/Villahermosa/Chiapas, Zacatecas, Cancun, Morelia/Lion, Puebla. Loved the video and the information and the scenery! Yes, more Hidalgo please, liked the recap at the end :)
Great to see you out on the road again! I have missed it. May has grown in confidence on camera a lot. Great to see Laska is up for road trips again and healing well.
Great video, guys! Good to see you traveling again and May is just delightful. Nice to see Laska again also. Yes on the recap for your videos. Hope May is managing the walking on the often difficult streets.
Watching your videos has become one of the highlights of my week 😀 Seeing the positivity resonating from both of you is very encouraging that different cultures can flourish together.. Best of luck to you two for a long time together ❤️
May, you are a great addition to the channel, so much cultural and food knowledge of Mexico with a touch of sweetness. Les mando un fuerte abrazo y besos Jordan, May y Laska.- Los Angeles CA
Well done Jordan and May. I visited the Huasca de Ocampo, San Miguel Regla, Mineral del Monte area of Hidalgo five decades ago. Not much tourism in that era. During the rainy season there are days when the area is blanketed by fog. Some of the houses reflect the architecture of Cornwall, the home of many of the English miners. And yes, we want to see May cook those bugs. I wonder if Diana Kennedy had a recipe for escamoles? If you don't know who she was google her. She died recently in Mexico and was important in popularizing Mexican cuisine around the world. A long obituary was printed in several Mexican newspapers. I wonder if you have time to read all of these comments, especially if written after the first few hours. Hidalgo is one of my favorite states. I spent a couple of weeks traveling around Hidalgo and didn't see everything worth seeing. The road from Pachuca to Tlanchinol covers several different vegetation zones (high plains, desert, pine forest, semi-tropical). If you don't like what you see don't worry, the vegetation changes every 10-20 kms. There used to be interesting Indian markets in Zimapan, Ixmiquilpan, and Tulancingo, plus a few miles past Tulancingo in Huauchinango, Puebla. Some of the men still wore the white pants and shirt associated with campesinos. More common were women wearing wraparound skirts and huipils or quechquimitls. Indian women rarely wore shoes. Hidalgo is an area rich in colonial era churches. I'll list five that are worth seeing if one has any interest in colonial architecture, and all are important and significant. Epazoyucan dates from the early 1540s, possessing an austere plateresque facade that faces an atrium dotted with gravestones. Inside the church the coro bajo, roofed with wood beams showing Mudejar details, gives some idea of what the entire nave looked like before the wood ceiling was replaced by a barrel vault about 1700. The convento boasts one of the most complete series of surviving murals in Mexico. Metztitlan is another early monastery and among the most important. The site is well off the beaten path. The retablo mayor is one of the best of its era and the only one to survive in Hidalgo. It was completed in 1700. There are six retablos in all. The convento was occupied by 1550, but the church itself was not completed until the 1570s. An earlier mission is located lower down in the town, but was abandoned due to flooding. The surviving part, known as La Comunidad, served as the town jail 50 years ago. Another notable building is the tecpan, the cabildo de Indios, known as La Tercena. It served as a center for Indian activity and native leadership. It dates from the mid 1500s, perhaps a bit earlier, and is probably the oldest surviving tecpan in Mexico. There are one or two bio-reserves in the Metztitlan area. A hundred years ago several of the very isolated churches in the rural area had thatched roofs, but I doubt any of them exist today. Molango has seen better days but still worth seeing because of its setting. The white houses with steeply sloped red roofs cascade down the slopes below the convento, the vegetation, at least in the rainy season is some of the greenest in Mexico, and at the bottom of the valley there is a sizable lake. The espadana, rather than sitting atop the church facade, originally sat atop the atrium wall, and is still in the atrium near the wall. The church dates from the 1540s and the entrance facade boasts a rose window. The cloister, dating from the 1560s, is badly in need of preservation. Stylistically it is related to its fellow Augustinian conventos at Atotonilco el Grande Hgo and the magnificent convento at Acolman, Mex. Actopan is the largest convento in Hidalgo and one of the most important in Mexico. Work began by 1550 and was completed in the 1560s. The complex has rib vaulting in the church and cloister walks, and pointed gothic arches in the first floor of the cloister. There are important murals throughout and structural features found in no other Mexican convento. When it rains the water cascades off of the highest roofs onto lower roofs and eventually, via gargoyles, onto the cloister patio where it drains through holes in the stones surrounding a well. Ixmiquilpan used to have an interesting market where Otomi women ripped handfuls of ixtle from huge bales and then, using a free hanging malacate, spun the ixtle into cord for the manufacture of various utilitarian goods. The convento, like the one at Actopan, possesses pointed gothic arches and was completed by about 1560. The outstanding feature is the murals in the church nave. For centuries they were covered over with paint, but several decades ago they were discovered and restored. There is nothing like them in Mexico. Warriors dressed in pre-Colombian regalia battle each other as well as strange beasts, including a horse-like creature wearing shoes similar to sandals. A very rare instance of native artists given unprecedented freedom to interpret the areas history as well as the Christian religion. A half hour further up the road toward Tamazunchale lies Zimapan, whose church is unique in Mexico and looks like it should be in India. Fifty years ago I bought a rare double cloth bag from an Otomi woman in Zimapan on market day. I doubt many women make them today, since they are complex and time consuming to make. There are numerous other conventos that I have not included in my abbreviated list but anyone interested in colonial architecture would find many of them worth a visit. There are also the Toltec ruins in Tula, a major archaeological site. Hidalgo is not well known by most US tourists, but it is one of the most interesting. Again, a very enjoyable video.
I had not heard that Diana Kennedy passed on, what an incredible legacy she leaves behind. I traveled to several areas in Mexico with my parents when I was about 13 or 14 in the mid-1970s and I feel so fortunate to have had that experience. My parents loved Mexico and Guatemala--collecting textiles and other folk art, visiting the churches, museums, ruins, and markets. I have some of the traditional handwoven (ceremonial?) men's shirts they collected--I cannot even find a picture or name when I looked just now, not guayabera--I have to ask my sister. They would read extensively about the areas we went to and your comment reminds me of traveling with them. When I was older I traveled down the length of Baja with a fellow naturalist in my little Toyota truck, camping all the way, and on another trip traveled around the Yucatan Peninsula with my older sisters, one of whom is an archaeologist and textile collector who spent a lot of time in Mexico in the early 1980s. I really loved reading your amazing description--if you ever write a book about Mexico, I would be first in line to buy it! Now I am 61 and seriously considering moving to Mexico in a year or two. I am trying to learn Spanish before I go. I just wish that I could also travel back in time to the Mexico I remember and that you describe in such amazing detail (maybe you have done research in Mexico?). I am saving your comment in case I ever visit those areas! I just picked up a used book recently called Ancient Oaxaca published in 1999 by Cambridge University Press--that was one place my parents loved and where they took me. The archaeologists who wrote it refer to another book by the same name published in 1966, so I think it incorporates archaeological and anthropological research conducted in the intervening years. As you probably know, the history of the area is mind-boggling. It is highly academic and definitely not a casual read, but you might like it, if you haven't already read it! Cheers!
Wow sin palabras. Maravillosa exposición sobre sitios históricos, arqueología y lugares turísticos de México. A través, de estos videos y oportunas intervenciones, (respuestas) se conoce mucho más sobre este país espectacular. Muchas gracias por compartir. Felicidades Jordan y May, ese video estuvo sensacional!
@@scrubjay93 You can relax, I'm not the William Woods from the University of Kansas. The closest I can come is that some of my ancestors farmed around Emporia, Kansas the last half of the 19th century and the first part of the 20th. It sounds like your family was interested in the same things I liked, except that I was also interested in collecting shells (shore collecting, diving, dredging). Up to 1974 I was an associate at the San Diego Museum of Natural History, and the 1974 trip was the last time I did any collecting. I think I would have liked your archaeologist older sister. I'm 15 years older than you so that might have worked. My oldest nephew is an archaeologist in Utah. Your family and I were in Mexico about the same time (my first trip of seven weeks and 6400 miles was in 1967, the last in 1982, when a stamp dealer friend paid me to go to Mexico City to buy stamps from the Correo Mayor - I had discovered the post office was still selling postal stamps dating back to the first decade of the 20th century at face value, which was a tiny fraction of the catalog value - I bought enough stamps to fill a 1-1/2 cubic foot book carton - the order was so large it took 7-8 weeks to fill it, so I spent a lot of time exploring the area within a 100 miles of the capital). I have not read Ancient Oaxaca, but I bought a copy after you mentioned it. I have about 32 feet of books on Mexico, but I didn't have that book. I'm not sure what word you were thinking of re the men's shirts from Guatemala - you might be thinking of a Mayan word - camisa is often used by Spanish speakers - coton and capixay are words for a man's heavier outer garment. Like your family I spent months researching my trips to Mexico, and I always took copious notes with me. Like you I wish I could revisit the Mexico of 50 years ago. Of course I wish I could see the Mexico of the 19th century to see the textiles (the closest I'll ever come is I just bought a copy of an Artes de Mexico, a revista, on Carl Nebel, a German artist who painted the people of Mexico in the 19th century). Your sister would have loved to acquire some of those huipils. My library contains a 1909 copy of Terry's Mexico - Handbook for Travelers by T Philip Terry. Back then travel was by train if one wanted to travel very far - shorter distances by horseback or carriage. Terry provides lots of information on hotels, which provided rooms but baths, if they existed, were shared and maybe outside. Sort of like luxury camping. Train depots were often a mile or two from town and sometimes the only transportation to town was an oxcart. I love Terry's description of Cordoba, where the peacocks ruled the tile roofs. That would have been wonderful to see. Besides the markets mentioned in my previous comment I liked the markets in Ajalpan, Pue, Tlaxiaco, Oax, Putla de Guerrero, Oax, Tlacolula, Oax, and in Chiapas San Cristobal de las Casas, San Andres Larrainzar and Tenejapa. In the 1970s many people still wore traditional indigenous clothing. Backstrap weaving fascinates me, and I managed to collect some nice items from Hidalgo, Puebla, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. In 1974 I took an old second class bus from San Cristobal to Tenejapa and then hiked for 3-1/2 hours over three mountains to a settlement called Majosik. I didn't find it on my own. A young man that i met as I got off the bus asked why I had come to Tenejapa (very few tourists bothered to go there). When I told him I wanted to buy a Huipil he asked me to follow him. I spent the night with his Tzeltal Indian family. The house roof was thatched and the cooking fire was in the middle of the dirt floor. I bought a brocaded huipil and a brocaded tortilla bag. Perhaps my most memorable experience. My other collecting interest was molinillos, and I have 40 different plus wooden spoons, ixtle scrubbers, etc. Since you expressed some interest in colonial architecture I suggest you check out a couple of blogs. They belong to Richard Perry, author of half a dozen books on Mexico's churches. The first is colonialmexico.blogspot.com, and the second is mexicosmurals.blogspot.com. Dates are from 2012-2022. Months and years are on the right, if you aren't looking for anything in particular, and in the top left corner there is a place to type in a town or church. Very good color photos and some explanatory text. A third site is mexicocooks.typepad.com. The last site is run by Cristina Potters, a friend of Diana Kennedy and also a talented cook. She covers food, recipes markets, architecture, crafts, traditions, etc. Good photos. If you are interested I left more information on Diana Kennedy and Mexico Cooks on another RUclips channel - La Karencita, July 30, "Is This Colombia's Safest City". I left two comments. Look for the second comment (4th line contains Diana Kennedy), open it to see the information. Anyway, have a great week. I hope this hasn't been too boring.
I tried and enjoyed escamoles when I was escorted around CDMX in 2010. I haven't had any since, but always was curious how to prepare and utilize them in various dishes. I hope y'all will demonstrate how you cook and serve them in a future video.
My family would love to see another video on Hidalgo. We've been planning our next Mexico vacation to explore Hidalgo, then I saw your video and it confirmed this is where we want to visit. Thank you!
I think the recap I'd an awesome idea. I love how she takes her time to explain everything in English, I truly appreciate that. She's very articulate and well verse in English.
Wonderful content, love visiting new, out of the way places and the food!!!!! May is so charming and Laska running around makes for a fun , inviting and magical twist on your videos. Love the recap comments as well. Jordan you look like a happy man, so sweet💘🐕💖🥰
You know a guy really likes you, when you ask him to go to the gnome museum, and enthusiastically he goes right along with the plan. Thats a good boyfriend, who wants to do what you want to do.
Love the description of the pasty. I knew a little of the history but not in that much detail. If you like them a lot, you should come to Cornish Pasty Co when you visit Vegas again Jordan - they have a lot of flavors! I also enjoyed the trip recap :)
Jordan, great job with your travel video. May complements your video perfectly. You two fit your conversations together smoothly. I like it when I hear you two giggle together. Mexico is such an amazing country, so mysterious. I love all of the stone buildings. Everything is romantic.
You two are an absolute delight! May you are such a treasure and a beautiful lady. I love your videos. The recap was fabulous. Love from British Columbia .
We have a scavenger hunt for you! In this video, try to find:
- A Ghost
- Rat
- Unicorn
- Talking bug
I didn't notice the unicorn until my 3rd time viewing the video and I didn't see the ghost until I watched it for a 4th time.

Your videos just keep getting better with each one. The content, your back and forth conversations. May has quickly overcome her early shyness and adds so much to everything. I would enjoy hearing you two explain and compare your public school experiences and everyday growing up stories.

@@lizdahl847 Too, I think like a lot of people: shy at first, then when you see all is well, you open up. But yeah, give her a few months and she'll be a TV anchor. Or she'll be buying out Tangerine Travels from Jordan (is he screws this up, which he won't; you don't let a May get away)!
Mayra is a natural, isn't she? They both make the dialogue seem completely effortless and natural.
Most Mexican people are like that towards things they don't know, but we adapt to it quickly

@@mgtowmonger2729 Saying it how it is. 100% on the money. I enjoy this channel far more now!
Yeah, it's clickbait (which can be true or false). People are attracted to the drama.
Glad to see you travel to cities around Querétaro. There are so many places around Querétaro that you can visit in a weekend just a couple of hours away. Plus May is a local that knows the customs and traditions of the area a big +
The videos with your new girlfriend are so much more pleasant to watch than those from before. Your girlfriend informs well, speaks in a relaxed manner. Also you seem to be much more relaxed since you are with May. Keep up the good work.
Refreshing to see something else than the usual suspects of mexican destinations. Amazing places and wow so cheap even in current times. Go back whenever you can!! Thanks for sharing
Same thought. I didn't know such place exists in Mexico.
Another great video!! Love her family was included and you’re getting to experience Mexico in a different way!! ❤️❤️❤️
May looks so much like Audrey Hepburn. She is stunning and also posses such a soft and classic demeanor. 😻
I agree that May is gracious and beautiful and is soft in demeanor and yet... powerful! Her & Jordan's chemistry shows magic. I loved that he wanted to share part of his delicious pastee with her. They are so kind to one another. They have my adoration.
She’s very lady like & classy, I saw the Audrey Hepburn resemblance immediately
She absolutely does look and speak like Audrey Hepburn! Truly stunning woman!
We Mexicans are so fortunate to have a such a beautiful country thank you God
Es verdad. I've visited 14 nations on 4 continents (my parents have seen 45 on FIVE continents) & we've never seen a more beautifully diverse country ANYWHERE. We were born on the WORLD's most beautiful land and we just DON'T EXPLORE MEXICO's SIZE ENOUGH.
I am actually looking into possibly moveing down to Mexico from the U.S. I'm retired I am wanting to find a area were the Temperature isnt real hot but also has cool nights.i want something in the higher altitude but also were I can grow a garden year round as gardening is a pation of mine. If any of u all know a area like that let me know.
Then why don't Mexican citizens stay there???!
I am not Mexican but when I go to Mexico I love it! It is beautiful!
@@juliejessicalichter5158 beautiful doesn't pay the bills, that's why!!!!
IT TOOK ME A WHILE...BUT YOU ARE NOW BOTH IN MY HEART!
AMAZING VIDEO!🌻🌞🌻
This channel has gone to the next level. Nice details on pastes.
Mexico is such a beautiful country. Mexican people are so blessed to live there
You two are so sweet 💕 I used to watch you way back with your ex. May is so low key and gentle. Glad you are her new love. The vibes now are so adorable. Keep showing all the good food and your blessed life together. One request. Please show some of the churches or cathedrals. I am an art fanatic and love the Mexican baroque architecture. Thanks. Big hugs to Laska too. Stay safe. Happy weekend.
I love Mexico's colonial architecture too. I have quite a few books on the subject and five decades ago after a five month trip throughout Mexico the art department at SDSU (San Diego) bought about 600 of my slides of Mexican churches and archaeological sites. They didn't have photos of many of the sites I visited. Back then one could travel on $10 a day, although most of the accommodations I found would no longer be acceptable by most US tourists, especially the room in San Miguel de Allende that cost 25 cents. It was clean but really bare bones. If you are interested and can find my comments I listed five Hidalgo conventos that anyone interested in Mexico's colonial architecture should try to see. I hope you have an opportunity to see them.
Yes! The churches are amazing and reveal so much about local culture.
Wow.... the trees with "spanish moss" reminds me of Louisiana.
This was an absolutely WONDERFUL video. I enjoyed it so much.
I think that the Spanish moss added to the spookiness of the hacienda.
Florida too. :)
@@joanlynch5271 Absolutely
@@DonnaRatliff1 Yes, i completely agree.
Yes, reminded me of Savannah Georgia 😍
That is so Awesome the way you two get along and enjoy your time together and share it with us..
Thank you...
This was a fun video to watch and I love that it included May's family and Laska. I also liked the recap!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
You two are so enjoyable to follow. Including a summary at the end is a good idea. By the way, with all of that walking, how is May's foot holding up?
We got her some winter boots before this trip that helped her out a ton. They provided a lot of foot and ankle support along with warmth, which to our surprise, kept most of the pain away.
May has the perfect wide brim hat. I love that she is in your videos.
Jordan & May! Great video ....Wow! Makes me want to visit there during one of my Mexico trips 😀Thank you for the informative video and great idea about having little details at the end of the video. Im definitely going to try escamoles when I visit again! Thanks and look forward to your next video! Cheers!
Absolutely great video. Definitely will be doing that trip from San Miguel de Allende. Great idea May on the recap. Super helpful. Would love to see more road trips.
It is obvious that you enjoy each other's company. Nice to listen in. The camera really likes May, don't you think? The hat she wore at the start was perfect on her.
Yessss more Hidalgo and other magical villages and Pueblos. Lovely 😍
You guys should organize a group tour!! It would be so fun!!
I would join the tour!
Great idea
That would be so great! I would join
In California gold country, Cornish pasties (pronounced "past-ees") are optionally topped with gravy. The Cornish miners took pasties underground as a compact yet filling whole meal.
Omg. The airbnb soooo cool. Those tire chairs. Epic. ...so creative and eco ...love ❤️ love love. Hope you guys enjoyed your stay!
Great video guys I really enjoyed your vlogging around different areas . Beautiful places. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸. The recaps are very good thanks.
Bro she’s a keeper, I haven’t seen you smile so much ! 👍
I’ve been with Tangerine since the beginning. May is a wonderful addition to the channel.
I can relate, as a fellow Hispanic who also doesn’t like spicy 🌶 food. I don’t need a Scoville scale to measure the heat of my food. 🥵
Out of all Hispanics, only Mexicans eat spicy food. Maybe Peruvians eat it here and there in some of their dishes, but Mexicans are the only ones who have spicy chilies in most of their foods. Greetings!
@@JoeSmith-ym5rv And even some Thai, Indian, Korean, and Southern Chinese cuisine can compete with our Mexican food. (I've been to China, Korea & Thailand and KNOW that some of their spicy food would send THIS Mexican to the HOSPITAL. lol
@@oscarlugo8761 whats does that have to do with my comment? 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Yeah I hate hot food
@@JoeSmith-ym5rv everything
Yes, loved the road trip--do more! And the re-cap too! Loved all the historical information.
finalmente el mundo conoce el verdadero Mexico. Con mas bellos lugares. No Solo las trampas turisticas que todos los youtubers repiten y se copian. MAY es nuestra adorable chica. Sacando nuestro orgullo adelante!
Esos hermosos sombreros. Te hacen ver como una munequita Mexicana o la iconica Audrey Hepburn. Pero ahora latina!
Si. Has un canal en espanol. cocinando y haciendo recaps de los viajes y Jordan aprendiendo espanol. Sera gracioso. Para que lo vean millones de hispanos tambien. Este es tu lugar chica.
En verdad!
Lo mismo pienso.
Impresionante. Es divertido ver estos videos con los dos. May agrega un toque muy especial a estos videos y disfruto las conversaciones y narraciones entre ustedes. ¡Los sitios y las excursiones son impresionantes!
I find the show much more interesting now. I'm not saying anything negative about your x girl but your new girl is from Mexico and we get an insider view point. Before it was 2 american outsiders experience and now we get the experience of one outsider and one insider.
Great video! Your channel and content has been next level the last few months! Great job!
Great video guys we really loved this! also love the recap its interesting for us being retired to see the costs of different areas in Mexico!...Viv
You brought bitter sweet memories back. When I was a kid in the early 70's my sister would bring this ice cream inside an orange and I loved it. I often remember the taste so very vividly, but I have never seen them again. She used to buy them at "La Mariposa." If you guys find them here in Queretaro, please publish it. I haven't had them for decades. Love you May!!!
I hope you can one day eat it again.
Awwww… this has a very vintage TT feel to it. With a much more grownup vibe. Love it!
Loved this video, the recap is a keep! You guys rock!
I've always thought Maia looks a little elvish! A compliment, so cute!🧚♀️🧚♂️
Very nice! Entertaining and full of information on Mexico. I did not know any of this information and was very impressed with both of your presentations. Well done!
What a great video! Thank you for sharing your adventures! Hello from Windsor, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
What a fabulous video! As soon as we get a car, that will be our second road trip after SMA. I love the explanations of the history and tips on where to get yummy unique food. The French toast looks amazing. I too don't like overly sweet things. Laska looked super happy. More road trips yay!
Yes, I would love to see more videos of Hidalgo and I enjoyed the re-cap. It makes for good way to close out your video and ask for ideas/questions from the viewers. Thank you!😃
Wow, what a fun video! You guys took us all over and tried all types of interesting foods! I really liked all the explaining and stories you guys told - makes this so interesting :)
Welcome to Huasca! My wife and me live in San Miguel Regla (although we’re in Mexico City for the weekend), pretty close to the Hacienda, and I can definitely tell you the surroundings are beautiful and worth a visit! Hope you enjoyed it!!
Hola! It's my very first time commenting on your Tangerine Travel channel. May is muy bonita! As a former tour guide in USA y overseas, I enjoyed the historic aspects (especially the ghost👻). I've watched Tangerine Travel before 'May' but her smile will definitely keep me watching more regularly from now on. Muchas gracias!
Amazing stuff to see in Mexico. Love your way of presenting these locations and your choice in girlfriend😉 lol. God bless you guys on your future endeavors and relationship. A pleasure to watch you guys interact....Love ya guys. P.s. be safe out there🇲🇽🇺🇸🇦🇷✌️
Great video!! You guys are so great together. I liked the scavenger hunt, threw me off at first 😆 I like the recap at the end.
This channel is so transparent, we had the chance to see the positive traits of Mexico! Thanks for such an awesome vid!
Very good video. May adds a depth to the history of the places you visit and also to the food. She is quite the pro with her commentaries after such a short while. I am impressed. I love you both and Laska too!
What a wonderful pueblito! The recap was great!
I loved when you guys talk about the history of the places. Makes it more interesting. You are a cute couple.
My brother in law is from Hidalgo and he always made it sound like it was a dirt poor horrible place to be from. Your video sheds a much more positive light! I’m looking forward to visiting now.
Hello Serenity how are you doing today, it’s nice to meet you here on RUclips
Great travel video! Cute little rata. It's like walking around with friends, very personal. You are both very humble and I love that you aren't doing hard-core adventure videos trying to show off how "cool" you are, like many RUclipsrs. It's very refreshing. It looks like a beautiful area--thanks for taking us along 🤗
One minute in, but gotta stop and comment. Jordan totally needs a new wardrobe now if he's gonna keep sitting next to his flawless new girlfriend lol Just a small update on the threads dude, she just looks so on point and then there's you with the gecko shirt ;) I say this with much love, like a sister would tell ya!
I was seriously thinking the same thing! No offense but he dresses like a kid. She looks sophisticated and classy. I don't know how he gets by.
*porfavor compra ropa refinada* tu novia lo apreciaría.
@@darcandelaria She obviously accepts him on who is and cares for him. That's all that matters.
@@natepolitics1490 I married my husband 16 years ago for who he was on the inside not his clothes, and I'm all for loving people for who they are trust me, but he needed help with his wardrobe and he's thankful I stepped up, It's what I was created for, to be his helper.
Loved the video. Definitely go back so we can see the rest of it. Enjoyed the recap as well
I liked the recap! It's such a pleasure to watch your videos! Jordan, you've grown leaps. & bounds in your narrations since the early days! May, you are a delightful addition to the channel! It's nice to get the inside scoops from a native Mexican as you show us your country.
Dude you won the lottery with May..! She is as magical as the channel is becoming, You guys look so happy it made me feel like am in love ❤🌱
May is so beautiful! Well done Jordan..
I loved the recap! Great suggestion May! I enjoyed the video too. So glad you were able to get out of your comfort zone May and travel. Good job Jordan on making her feel secure!
I was a little reluctant to watch a 40+ minute video....but so glad I did. Lots of great info and nice editing!💞
Jordan and Mayra, I really enjoy your videos. It's always so nice to follow you and to go on the next adventure through your great work. Thank you for sharing!!
I am so enjoying your videos ❤. May is adorable and I like the historical info she adds. Of course the food sounds wonderful-fresh and interesting. Jan
I have never met a Mexican girl who speaks English so well. Respect!
Actually there are many... Didn't you know that many of the American Bilingual Call Centers are running from Mexico (mainly México City, Guadalajara and Monterrey). Some of us have a strong accent but some others don't and besides, some people have never been in United States or Canada 💖✨💕 I would like to add that I have met wonderful American people with no hispanic background and they speak very good Spanish ✅
I have 😂 so many actuality but that’s because I’m from LA but hey I’m surprised Mai hasn’t gotten the chance to rock out 😆
Really nice video of Hidalgo & Huasca, my wife being a Brit enjoyed hearing about the pasties, by the way nice (funky) hats Maya wore..👍
Loveee the mythical creatures, thank you for taking us there! Would love to know if there's any more places like that around Mexico you guys can show us!
There is and it's full of magic ✨ also witches, warlocks, and shamans live in those places.
I’m Mexican and my great-grandmother was from Real del monte. She came from Ireland with her father and brothers. Her father works with Cornish in the mines. A lot of people in Real del Monte have Cornish ancestry, but not only came from England also Ireland.
The houses and the food have a English style, for example pastes is a British traditional food, especially in the south like Cornwall England.
In fact, Hidalgo state specially Real del monte, have the most English ancestry in all of Mexico, even inside of Mexico a lot of people don’t know this.
Checks out with the Tuatha de Dannan
Thank You for the info. I have Mexican Cousins that are Blonde Blue Eyes, with British ancestors.
I was there few months ago create place and everything you're saying is correct also has more of British weather a lot colder than most of Mexico
The Duende place was really cute like the Kelpie you adopted. You can find Helados Chalco in Pachuca, Tijuana, Tlaxcala, Acapulco/Zihuatanejo, Merida/Yucatan/Campeche, Veracruz/Oax/Villahermosa/Chiapas, Zacatecas, Cancun, Morelia/Lion, Puebla. Loved the video and the information and the scenery! Yes, more Hidalgo please, liked the recap at the end :)
i live in Mexico and can't wait to visit these places. Gracias.
Damn Jordan, she's a home run! quite the upgrade here
I like all the detailing of the food, love how may explains everything about the food 😍
I luv May’s hat. It looks beautiful on her. So glad you had a wonderful breakfast.
That looks like a lot of fun. Very peaceful 🙂
Sometime you should try fishing!
So wonderful to see you together is this special place. You are both such good tour guides. thank you. I look forward to seeing many more…
Great to see you out on the road again! I have missed it. May has grown in confidence on camera a lot. Great to see Laska is up for road trips again and healing well.
Great video, guys! Good to see you traveling again and May is just delightful. Nice to see Laska again also. Yes on the recap for your videos. Hope May is managing the walking on the often difficult streets.
Thanks, Gary! I loved seeing Laska and May playing together, that was a lot of fun! I agree that the recap is a good idea, we'll continue doing that.
Jordan how plan full! Such a sweet memory. Adorable pups and all. Congratulations and best wishes for a very blessed marriage ❤
I'd love to see more of Hidalgo and love the trip recall
Hidalgo is beautiful! Also, some of Mexico’s best food comes from there! Starting with barbacoa, escamoles, etc!
Watching your videos has become one of the highlights of my week 😀 Seeing the positivity resonating from both of you is very encouraging that different cultures can flourish together.. Best of luck to you two for a long time together ❤️
Loved the trip - enjoyed the trip recap as well. Thanks!
May, you are a great addition to the channel, so much cultural and food knowledge of Mexico with a touch of sweetness. Les mando un fuerte abrazo y besos Jordan, May y Laska.- Los Angeles CA
Love watching zll the video's you are making. Nice to see some non touristie things. Thanks for sharing your adventures
Well done Jordan and May. I visited the Huasca de Ocampo, San Miguel Regla, Mineral del Monte area of Hidalgo five decades ago. Not much tourism in that era. During the rainy season there are days when the area is blanketed by fog. Some of the houses reflect the architecture of Cornwall, the home of many of the English miners. And yes, we want to see May cook those bugs. I wonder if Diana Kennedy had a recipe for escamoles? If you don't know who she was google her. She died recently in Mexico and was important in popularizing Mexican cuisine around the world. A long obituary was printed in several Mexican newspapers. I wonder if you have time to read all of these comments, especially if written after the first few hours. Hidalgo is one of my favorite states. I spent a couple of weeks traveling around Hidalgo and didn't see everything worth seeing. The road from Pachuca to Tlanchinol covers several different vegetation zones (high plains, desert, pine forest, semi-tropical). If you don't like what you see don't worry, the vegetation changes every 10-20 kms. There used to be interesting Indian markets in Zimapan, Ixmiquilpan, and Tulancingo, plus a few miles past Tulancingo in Huauchinango, Puebla. Some of the men still wore the white pants and shirt associated with campesinos. More common were women wearing wraparound skirts and huipils or quechquimitls. Indian women rarely wore shoes. Hidalgo is an area rich in colonial era churches. I'll list five that are worth seeing if one has any interest in colonial architecture, and all are important and significant. Epazoyucan dates from the early 1540s, possessing an austere plateresque facade that faces an atrium dotted with gravestones. Inside the church the coro bajo, roofed with wood beams showing Mudejar details, gives some idea of what the entire nave looked like before the wood ceiling was replaced by a barrel vault about 1700. The convento boasts one of the most complete series of surviving murals in Mexico. Metztitlan is another early monastery and among the most important. The site is well off the beaten path. The retablo mayor is one of the best of its era and the only one to survive in Hidalgo. It was completed in 1700. There are six retablos in all. The convento was occupied by 1550, but the church itself was not completed until the 1570s. An earlier mission is located lower down in the town, but was abandoned due to flooding. The surviving part, known as La Comunidad, served as the town jail 50 years ago. Another notable building is the tecpan, the cabildo de Indios, known as La Tercena. It served as a center for Indian activity and native leadership. It dates from the mid 1500s, perhaps a bit earlier, and is probably the oldest surviving tecpan in Mexico. There are one or two bio-reserves in the Metztitlan area. A hundred years ago several of the very isolated churches in the rural area had thatched roofs, but I doubt any of them exist today. Molango has seen better days but still worth seeing because of its setting. The white houses with steeply sloped red roofs cascade down the slopes below the convento, the vegetation, at least in the rainy season is some of the greenest in Mexico, and at the bottom of the valley there is a sizable lake. The espadana, rather than sitting atop the church facade, originally sat atop the atrium wall, and is still in the atrium near the wall. The church dates from the 1540s and the entrance facade boasts a rose window. The cloister, dating from the 1560s, is badly in need of preservation. Stylistically it is related to its fellow Augustinian conventos at Atotonilco el Grande Hgo and the magnificent convento at Acolman, Mex. Actopan is the largest convento in Hidalgo and one of the most important in Mexico. Work began by 1550 and was completed in the 1560s. The complex has rib vaulting in the church and cloister walks, and pointed gothic arches in the first floor of the cloister. There are important murals throughout and structural features found in no other Mexican convento. When it rains the water cascades off of the highest roofs onto lower roofs and eventually, via gargoyles, onto the cloister patio where it drains through holes in the stones surrounding a well. Ixmiquilpan used to have an interesting market where Otomi women ripped handfuls of ixtle from huge bales and then, using a free hanging malacate, spun the ixtle into cord for the manufacture of various utilitarian goods. The convento, like the one at Actopan, possesses pointed gothic arches and was completed by about 1560. The outstanding feature is the murals in the church nave. For centuries they were covered over with paint, but several decades ago they were discovered and restored. There is nothing like them in Mexico. Warriors dressed in pre-Colombian regalia battle each other as well as strange beasts, including a horse-like creature wearing shoes similar to sandals. A very rare instance of native artists given unprecedented freedom to interpret the areas history as well as the Christian religion. A half hour further up the road toward Tamazunchale lies Zimapan, whose church is unique in Mexico and looks like it should be in India. Fifty years ago I bought a rare double cloth bag from an Otomi woman in Zimapan on market day. I doubt many women make them today, since they are complex and time consuming to make. There are numerous other conventos that I have not included in my abbreviated list but anyone interested in colonial architecture would find many of them worth a visit. There are also the Toltec ruins in Tula, a major archaeological site. Hidalgo is not well known by most US tourists, but it is one of the most interesting. Again, a very enjoyable video.
I had not heard that Diana Kennedy passed on, what an incredible legacy she leaves behind. I traveled to several areas in Mexico with my parents when I was about 13 or 14 in the mid-1970s and I feel so fortunate to have had that experience. My parents loved Mexico and Guatemala--collecting textiles and other folk art, visiting the churches, museums, ruins, and markets. I have some of the traditional handwoven (ceremonial?) men's shirts they collected--I cannot even find a picture or name when I looked just now, not guayabera--I have to ask my sister. They would read extensively about the areas we went to and your comment reminds me of traveling with them. When I was older I traveled down the length of Baja with a fellow naturalist in my little Toyota truck, camping all the way, and on another trip traveled around the Yucatan Peninsula with my older sisters, one of whom is an archaeologist and textile collector who spent a lot of time in Mexico in the early 1980s. I really loved reading your amazing description--if you ever write a book about Mexico, I would be first in line to buy it! Now I am 61 and seriously considering moving to Mexico in a year or two. I am trying to learn Spanish before I go. I just wish that I could also travel back in time to the Mexico I remember and that you describe in such amazing detail (maybe you have done research in Mexico?). I am saving your comment in case I ever visit those areas! I just picked up a used book recently called Ancient Oaxaca published in 1999 by Cambridge University Press--that was one place my parents loved and where they took me. The archaeologists who wrote it refer to another book by the same name published in 1966, so I think it incorporates archaeological and anthropological research conducted in the intervening years. As you probably know, the history of the area is mind-boggling. It is highly academic and definitely not a casual read, but you might like it, if you haven't already read it! Cheers!
oh geez, I just googled your name and suspect you are the William Woods from the University of Kansas? You probably have that book, lol!
Wow! You are a wealth of knowledge! Thank you!!
Wow sin palabras. Maravillosa exposición sobre sitios históricos, arqueología y lugares turísticos de México. A través, de estos videos y oportunas intervenciones, (respuestas) se conoce mucho más sobre este país espectacular. Muchas gracias por compartir.
Felicidades Jordan y May, ese video estuvo sensacional!
@@scrubjay93 You can relax, I'm not the William Woods from the University of Kansas. The closest I can come is that some of my ancestors farmed around Emporia, Kansas the last half of the 19th century and the first part of the 20th. It sounds like your family was interested in the same things I liked, except that I was also interested in collecting shells (shore collecting, diving, dredging). Up to 1974 I was an associate at the San Diego Museum of Natural History, and the 1974 trip was the last time I did any collecting. I think I would have liked your archaeologist older sister. I'm 15 years older than you so that might have worked. My oldest nephew is an archaeologist in Utah. Your family and I were in Mexico about the same time (my first trip of seven weeks and 6400 miles was in 1967, the last in 1982, when a stamp dealer friend paid me to go to Mexico City to buy stamps from the Correo Mayor - I had discovered the post office was still selling postal stamps dating back to the first decade of the 20th century at face value, which was a tiny fraction of the catalog value - I bought enough stamps to fill a 1-1/2 cubic foot book carton - the order was so large it took 7-8 weeks to fill it, so I spent a lot of time exploring the area within a 100 miles of the capital). I have not read Ancient Oaxaca, but I bought a copy after you mentioned it. I have about 32 feet of books on Mexico, but I didn't have that book. I'm not sure what word you were thinking of re the men's shirts from Guatemala - you might be thinking of a Mayan word - camisa is often used by Spanish speakers - coton and capixay are words for a man's heavier outer garment. Like your family I spent months researching my trips to Mexico, and I always took copious notes with me. Like you I wish I could revisit the Mexico of 50 years ago. Of course I wish I could see the Mexico of the 19th century to see the textiles (the closest I'll ever come is I just bought a copy of an Artes de Mexico, a revista, on Carl Nebel, a German artist who painted the people of Mexico in the 19th century). Your sister would have loved to acquire some of those huipils. My library contains a 1909 copy of Terry's Mexico - Handbook for Travelers by T Philip Terry. Back then travel was by train if one wanted to travel very far - shorter distances by horseback or carriage. Terry provides lots of information on hotels, which provided rooms but baths, if they existed, were shared and maybe outside. Sort of like luxury camping. Train depots were often a mile or two from town and sometimes the only transportation to town was an oxcart. I love Terry's description of Cordoba, where the peacocks ruled the tile roofs. That would have been wonderful to see. Besides the markets mentioned in my previous comment I liked the markets in Ajalpan, Pue, Tlaxiaco, Oax, Putla de Guerrero, Oax, Tlacolula, Oax, and in Chiapas San Cristobal de las Casas, San Andres Larrainzar and Tenejapa. In the 1970s many people still wore traditional indigenous clothing. Backstrap weaving fascinates me, and I managed to collect some nice items from Hidalgo, Puebla, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. In 1974 I took an old second class bus from San Cristobal to Tenejapa and then hiked for 3-1/2 hours over three mountains to a settlement called Majosik. I didn't find it on my own. A young man that i met as I got off the bus asked why I had come to Tenejapa (very few tourists bothered to go there). When I told him I wanted to buy a Huipil he asked me to follow him. I spent the night with his Tzeltal Indian family. The house roof was thatched and the cooking fire was in the middle of the dirt floor. I bought a brocaded huipil and a brocaded tortilla bag. Perhaps my most memorable experience. My other collecting interest was molinillos, and I have 40 different plus wooden spoons, ixtle scrubbers, etc. Since you expressed some interest in colonial architecture I suggest you check out a couple of blogs. They belong to Richard Perry, author of half a dozen books on Mexico's churches. The first is colonialmexico.blogspot.com, and the second is mexicosmurals.blogspot.com. Dates are from 2012-2022. Months and years are on the right, if you aren't looking for anything in particular, and in the top left corner there is a place to type in a town or church. Very good color photos and some explanatory text. A third site is mexicocooks.typepad.com. The last site is run by Cristina Potters, a friend of Diana Kennedy and also a talented cook. She covers food, recipes markets, architecture, crafts, traditions, etc. Good photos. If you are interested I left more information on Diana Kennedy and Mexico Cooks on another RUclips channel - La Karencita, July 30, "Is This Colombia's Safest City". I left two comments. Look for the second comment (4th line contains Diana Kennedy), open it to see the information. Anyway, have a great week. I hope this hasn't been too boring.
I fell away for a little while, but now I'm back BECAUSE I love your energy together.
I tried and enjoyed escamoles when I was escorted around CDMX in 2010. I haven't had any since, but always was curious how to prepare and utilize them in various dishes. I hope y'all will demonstrate how you cook and serve them in a future video.
Great video and I loved the recap! Great idea, May!
Great idea!
My family would love to see another video on Hidalgo. We've been planning our next Mexico vacation to explore Hidalgo, then I saw your video and it confirmed this is where we want to visit. Thank you!
I think the recap I'd an awesome idea. I love how she takes her time to explain everything in English, I truly appreciate that. She's very articulate and well verse in English.
Wow 🤩 I am just half into the video and I’m so delightfully surprised
Wonderful content, love visiting new, out of the way places and the food!!!!! May is so charming and Laska running around makes for a fun , inviting and magical twist on your videos. Love the recap comments as well. Jordan you look like a happy man, so sweet💘🐕💖🥰
You know a guy really likes you, when you ask him to go to the gnome museum, and enthusiastically he goes right along with the plan. Thats a good boyfriend, who wants to do what you want to do.
Love the description of the pasty. I knew a little of the history but not in that much detail. If you like them a lot, you should come to Cornish Pasty Co when you visit Vegas again Jordan - they have a lot of flavors! I also enjoyed the trip recap :)
Lovely energy between the two of you. Very nice to see.
Jordan, great job with your travel video. May complements your video perfectly. You two fit your conversations together smoothly.
I like it when I hear you two giggle together.
Mexico is such an amazing country, so mysterious. I love all of the stone buildings. Everything is romantic.
You two are an absolute delight! May you are such a treasure and a beautiful lady. I love your videos. The recap was fabulous. Love from British Columbia .
Ahahahha...'the look' when you mentioned butter on your lemon cake! May is extra adorable in that hat...
SHE IS A FIND! GOD IS GOOD TO YOU!
