Thank you for the video. I was there a long time ago and really liked it and planned on spending a month there this winter. maybe more I'll see how I feel happy trails to you!
Great Video, Definitely has a French feel., New Orleans feel. Puebla is beautful. The tunnels were great. Pueblo is definetly on our list of places to visit.
Sorry but as a historian I have to point out a error in your narrative. Cinco de Mayo is a commemoration of the defeat of the French army sent by Napoleon III to establish Maximilian as emperor. The French were defeated in the battle of Puebla but recovered and Maximilian indeed became emperor of Mexico until the monarchy was overturned and defeated by Benito Juarez. Cinco de Mayo celebrates the defeat of the most powerful army in the world at the time by an improvised, ragtag Mexican army. They won the battle but lost the war.😊
I love Talavera pottery too! More drone flying - awesome. You need to fly drunk! LOL Puebla is on our list, so I'm really glad to hear that you both were impressed.
That library is phenomenal, the cathedral was spectacular, the tunnels fascinating, the pottery is beautiful. Puebla and Atlixco are very pretty. Doctor Simi is awesome! I had thought of Puebla as a place to live but am concerned about the altitude. Very enjoyable video!
Hi Cindy, When we lived in Sacramento we were at 25ft above sea level. When we would go to Tahoe we would find it difficult to breathe if we were walking up an incline. Here in Mexico when we are at 7 or 8,000 ft above sea level it's not as hard to breathe. Paulette gets winded more easily then I do but it's not nearly as bad as when we were in Tahoe. Maybe the air here is thicker, i just don't know. My advice to you is to visit some places in higher elevations that you want to check out for a few days to see if the elevation is going to be ok for you. If not at least you tried it out. Puebla is fairly flat so that might help. As always thank you for your kind comment about our video. -Marc
Hola Markas, Puebla literally took our breath away. Hopefully our video does it some justice. Always great to hear from you. We hope you are doing well. -Marc
@@TheTwoTravelersInMexico Hola Marc! Thank you! Yes of course! We’ll stay 10 days in Puebla and Cholula and after that 2 weeks in Mexico City. First visit to Puebla/ Cholula and very, very excited - Suzana
@@LindoYqueLoco If you have time check out Atlixco, it's about a 45 minute drive/bus ride outside of Pueblo. It's a small but cute town. I have to tell you that Puebla is amazing especially with the French influenced buildings. -Marc
Hi Guys. I have couple questions for you.. When you travel as in this video, I’m guessing you take the bus instead of driving your car? And you have found a house/dog sitter? Puebla looks beautiful ❤
We do take a bus. We are on a site called house sit Mexico. If your interested in joining the site let us know and I send you a discount code. Puebla is is muy bonita. -Marc
for sure, time to slow down and immerse ourselves into a more "real" Mexican city. Thanks for the video it is much appreciated.@@TheTwoTravelersInMexico
Thanks a lot for the video. I am moving to Puebla this summer and it is great to get your perspective of Mexico's 4th largest city. I just subscribed 😊
@The Two Travelers In Mexico Currently, I split my time between Santo Domingo, Dom. Rep. and Quito, Ecuador. How, I plan to live in Puebla full-time and spend part of the year in Santo Domingo.
@The Two Travelers In Mexico Yes, I enjoy not having to deal with mosquitoes in Quito so I hope it is the same in Puebla since it is also somewhat high in elevation.
Here again it shows how amazing country Mexico is that most people don't know. Ok, sound's and looks like you guys are out enjoying your life great ! Now, I don't need to do it since I can just watch your videos. Remember now, I'm cheap I don't like to spend the money even though I have a lot of money as you know LOL. I'm even thinking of applying for that senior card so I can save a few pesos just like you guys also do. Like they used to say in our beloved USA, money not spent is a savings so don't spend a lot then you will become rich so anyway, this may be an old video from when you visited Mexico City last Christmas os maybe you guys are out traveling again either way, it's great to see you guys enjoy life and living, many haven't learned that yet LOL. Ok, Viva Mexico the best greatest most beautiful country on earth so Viva Mexico in memory of our beloved Juan Gabriel. Amor eterno Juanka and Asi fue.
Viva Mexico. Puebla is a beautiful city. Yes, saving money always helps, we use the INAPAM cards quite often. You get 50% off on bus tickets and discounts at museums and other attractions. -Marc
Hi Julio, we drove by the modern area of Puebla and it was indeed very modern looking. It lacks much of the charm that the older part of Puebla. We'll have to checkout Zacatlan de las Manzanas next time we go to Puebla. -Marc
About 25 years ago I lived in Puebla for a month while attending a language school. Really loved the city. Would love to see it again. The tunnels are facinating. You should read a bit about that library. It is one of the oldest in the Americas and has a lot of VERY old texts that were brought over from Spain when Spain invaded. I too have a lot of ambivalent feelings about zoos. Hopefully all that money goes to feeding the animals!
The library we really interesting, there were so many old texts there. It was a privilege to be able to see them. Zoo's were a lot of fun as a kid but now I just see animals in captivity. I realize that some of these animals are rescue animals and couldn't survive in the wild so at least that have a place to live. -Marc
supposedly if Volcanoes are active then they won't blow, at least that is what I have heard.....Been around alot of volcanoes in my life Ecuador, Iceland, Sicily, Mexico, Guatemala etc... Hope all is well with you guys and the doggies!
Puebla just got on my radar recently as a possible place to move to. I like it’s proximity to CDMX for international travel. How do you think it compares to Oaxaca?
Hi Lindylee, we like Puebla better. There were less panhandlers in Puebla more color, the streets in the centro area are beautiful. Oaxaca has its culture and amazing artisans and so does Puebla however the Oaxaca art is a little more diverse whereas the Puebla art mostly revolves around talavara. There are more expats living in Oaxaca then in Puebla if that's important to you. The prices of food, restaurants etc. seemed a little higher in Puebla. Let us know if you have any other questions. Also we have a FaceBook group called The two travelers in Mexico where you can join and ask questions and get answers from a wider range of people. -Marc
Several mentions of an interpan card, but no explanation what it is and who’s eligible to use it. Logically, it’s some type of tourist discount card, but can you please give details? Otherwise very enjoyable video. Enjoy and stay safe🙏
It’s called INAPAM. People over 60 can get it. It’s free. It gives you discounts at many places including public transit and property taxes. You have to be a resident of Mexico to get it. T Thank you for your kind comment about our video. -Marc
Some times we do. We really don't script stuff other then bullet points we want to touch on. We're working on trying to sound smoother. Thank you for your comment and suggestion. -Marc
Would this be a great city to retire for a expat? Is this a safe city? I’m looking at San Francisco Totimehuacan neighborhood to rent in. Is this and affordable and safe location!
It is a beautiful city. The term affordable is a subjective term but paulette and I feel that it's affordable. They do have earthquakes there though. -Marc
@@TheTwoTravelersInMexico Affordable, meaning a single guy such as myself could live there on $1,200 a month covering all expenses including rent,utilities,transportation,food,gym membership.
It’s got all the conveniences that Mexico City has but it doesn’t feel like Mexico City. Mexico City U.S. a huge expansive place with lots to offer culturally Puebla is much smaller. Puebla I think is more culturally conservative then Mexico City. Both are amazing places but Mexico City has more to do but it’s also got the congestion and higher prices to go with it. I hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let us know. -Marc
@@TheTwoTravelersInMexico thank you. That is important for me to know. I am from a major US city, and I like the cultural and educational perks offered in my city. I don't mind being in a smaller city (I've lived in a small city in CT that was a college town, and a smaller city in my region) but I do have concerns about being in a conservative area (religion, culture, etc.). Thanks again!
Yes, we had to wear them when we visited the archaeological site even though no one was around. The rest of the time no face masks. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Marc
