Season 2. Episode 47. RV Mexico. Looking for things to do in Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico? Here are all the things we did in the second largest city in Mexico!
Okay we're at Hotel Morales in Guadalajara and way too soon
I still have plenty of comments to reply to. I'm not ready to get out, not ready to be done.
You're welcome. I'll get you there on time.
Trisha gets you there on time.
They put a five star, five stars right under their name and I thought they were joking
but there is an inside pool. This place is amazing.
All right let's put one in. This is awesome. Check this out. Okay you have to put it in right here.
And the electricity works. You got to keep it in. Keep it in? Oh yes.
You are like my best friend. That's awesome. Thank you so much. Thank you.
I don't know what it is about hotels but it turns our boys into complete, it's like they've
never seen a light switch, a curtain, or some sort of roll away for a bed. They're running around.
They're running around hitting light switches, turning on and off the tv and the air conditioning
like oh look at these curtains. Look at how they close. That is Caleb. Oh no it's not. No it's not.
A hotel room for these kids is like showing them fire for the first time.
That is very true. That's pretty true.
Talking to so many Mexicans that are trying to learn English we've learned that the best thing
to do is take one word at a time and so when we're speaking with them we say like I walk
to the market and you can see their eyes light up and you know that they're
they're understanding because we take one word at a time and he spoke exactly like that. It was
fantastic. Although I told him that we only knew one out of three words and he understood that
and so but it worked. I mean did you understand what he was saying because he spoke slow and he
We need a plan. I want a plan, ice cream, food, sounds good to me. We're going to get a cab
and we're going to sit in this cab to this destination pizzeria to go get pasta and pizza
and food. Good food because it has nine stars on four square. Look at the iglesia.
We were just about to initiate the plan and then Trish saw this pizzeria right here and said oh
look at pizza, oh pasta. So now we have another plan that emerged. There's a few things that
require some level of concentration. Flying the drone, not overly difficult to do but it does
require some focus and speaking Spanish you know because we're learning it does require some level
of focus. Now flying the drone at 7 a.m while having a conversation in Spanish with a homeless
person, that is a new level that I have reached. Leon was very nice, very talkative
and it was difficult for me to understand exactly what he was saying.
I understood what Leon was saying. What was Leon saying? If you were here all the men would want
to marry you, bring you to the church to marry you. Oh you? Yes because of your blonde hair,
your blue eyes. Oh yes. Oh my gosh, how do you pick up all that?
And then this helps.
And then at one point he went to go pull down his pants and I was like no, no, no, no. I know,
I know, I know. He was showing me a belt buckle underneath his thing to tell us that what part
of Mexico he was from but it was very alarming and you can't leave because the drone is in the air.
Well and meanwhile the drone was getting disconnected because of all the magnets in
the building around the drone is getting disconnected. Now when the drone gets
disconnected it has a feature to automatically come home but the whole time it's flying home
when it says aircraft disconnected, aircraft disconnected, you're just sitting there helpless
just hoping it comes back and then sure enough I saw it come over. Anyway, let's go get a cup
of coffee. Let's get a cup of coffee. Hey I hope you like that drone footage though. How about
flying the drone? Oh my gosh. Through the, through the towers in the basilica or the
drone flying through. Good? Yeah? Thumbs up? Where's this red bus baby? I hold this.
Looking for the red bus. Tori made a good point. She says it has a New York City vibe.
I was gonna say Los Angeles because the city's a little lower but when you're walking the streets
you can't really tell the scale of the height and it does have a New York City vibe don't you think?
Oh my gosh this is exactly like New York. It feels, it feels like you're walking through
the streets of New York. Cars, everything, you know people walking around in suits and ties.
Random cathedrals everywhere. You walk around the corner and then it just like presents itself.
It's gorgeous. I would love to see it at night all lit up. There's even more dresses and it's
gorgeous and I'm getting so many pictures and you just walk around the corner and it's at
all coming out of the ground and spectacular.
We are here at the Guadalajara sign to go take pictures and have fun. And post on Instagram.
Yeah Instagram posts. I don't know it doesn't match your feet. Okay behind me I have the red
bus. We took the red bus on the Guadalajara loop and it's very good to get the lay of the land.
However I think that unless you're using it to transport yourself to the other side of town,
get off and then get back on later, you might as well get a cab or somebody that knows something
about the area. When we were in Tequila not only were we working with someone that could give us
the history but they gave us the cultural background and I feel like that's what's
missing on the red bus tour. But it's a great way to get from point A to point B.
Okay let's talk about food. Here is our plan for our traveling because this is such a different
way of traveling than we're used to by RV. But we've had a late breakfast around 10 30 or so
and we'd have a big late breakfast. And then instead of doing lunch right around three o'clock
we would have a snack and some cold drinks. That way we can delay dinner to like eight o'clock at
night and we're available for the golden hour to do like droning and shooting and and like when
the temperature starts to drop. Yesterday however we didn't have our little snack and cold drinks.
So by the time six seven o'clock rolled around we were all starving and a few of us were a little
hangry if you know what I mean. They're a little tired and cranky. So we kind of missed the five
to six o'clock hour to go eat and everybody was kind of in a grumpy mood. So we're solving that
today by getting some snacks. Snack is ice cream. Yeah either ice cream or some cafe.
How about I think we're gonna do snacks. Well what would you like? There's chips outside.
Which is that better? I actually think now what I'm gonna do is travel with cliff bars.
Keep five or six cliff bars or kind bars. Something that will hold us over. That way we
don't have to find anything. Because finding snacks is a pain. And then there's so many
opinions over what people want. Some watermelon. We're gonna put some lime on it and some salt.
And sometimes they put pepper in it but I don't think I like this kind of pepper. So I'm just
gonna go salt and lemon. Snack update. We all have sandia cups. Did you happen to show them
that you had a croissant filled with chocolate in the middle? Well I was holding the camera then.
Oh because he makes fun of us for having a little fro-yo. That was before Trish found the sandia.
Which I've been looking for. Which I knew the exact location of. So there is a little bit
of controversy in the group right now as to how to handle snacks. There's no controversy. It's
just that he only shows like the negative side. Doesn't show you that he eats chocolate. That's
not true. You have a little chocolate right here. I do not. Here's what happened. We wanted to do
a snack and so then first we stopped and we got ice cream. It's yogurt. Frozen. It's frozen yogurt.
Then we went to go get pizza and I saw a croissant. And so I'm like okay well I'll have a croissant. I
know you didn't. And now we're having sandia. So snacking is taking an hour. Well I just want to
say this is part of life. Enjoying the moment. Having a picnic. But I just want to say that
sometimes the vlog is a little one-sided. It should probably come to me. Okay let's take this vlog over.
We're at the official Placido de Gubanerio. It's the government official office and they're going
to have murals of their history and the uprising and of Spain and conquering. Let's go check it out.
This is awesome. That whole mural goes down from when you enter the stairs and it goes all the way
up into the ceiling. So when you walk up the stairs you have to look up. That is the coolest thing ever.
Hobans. Hobans. Hobans.
Good morning. We're going dress shopping for my prom dress in a quinceañera store.
Trish come on. Stay in the game. Stay in the game. I'll tell you amateur shoppers over here you know
they just don't have the stamina that they do for men's men's shopping which can take
hours, days, days, days. It could take me on Amazon let's say. It could take me anywhere from 20 minutes
to 45 minutes in a single sitting to get the right bathing suit. Not to mention going to the
door and picking it up two days later when it comes through Amazon Prime. It's a lot of work.
Do you do a warm-up? Do you stretch before you get out of your chair? Yeah of course I do. Of course I stretch.
Let's see how I stretch like this.
Let's get back to the money. The dinero.
Both proms? Both proms. How do you how do you go to both proms? I get invited to one of them.
So you heard it right out of Tori's mouth. She's wearing that dress to both proms on video captured.
Let me just get a pen real quick we'll be all set.
A caveman would eat this. This is paleo. Paleo? Yeah totally paleo friendly. High carb? Low carb? No this is low carb.
No there's strawberries in here. I heard that dark chocolate is fine.
It doesn't matter that you wrap it with bread does it?
Just had a quick conversation with the concierge and where to get a GoPro and we were going
through all sorts of places on this map that might sell them but normally they never do.
And then he says uh well you could go to Best Buy. Did you just say Best Buy?
Yeah where's the Best Buy? Well who cares how far away it is. Anyway.
Housekeeping!
