What's up Tangerineys! We just finished
up breakfast at one of our favorite spots called Fonda Doña Lola.
Which we've showed you a few times. It's pretty good food,
And good prices. Now we are
Heading to the Wednesday Tianguis (in Ajijic) which pops up every
Single week. And we thought... And it's in Ajijic and
It's like this pop-up market. Uh-huh. Pretty close to the
Cinema, the movie theater here. So
We don't really know what to expect.
We've only been to one tianguis before and that was in Guadalajara.
Just happened to pop up right outside of our
Airbnb. So, we're going to see what's going on here.
And show you one of the things that happens here in Ajijic. Let's go!
How much is the coffer? 180 pesos per kilo.
Is this a kilo?
I have course grind and fine grind.
Okay. Gracias.
This is a lot busier than the last one we went to.
Oh yeah!
There is like everything you could possibly think of here.
Clothes, and food, and jewelry,
And art, and oh it's like a Maddie paradise!
How much are the movies? 20 pesos each.
We keep walking but this doesn't show any sign of ending. [Laughter]
Yes, with lime, and tajin, and salt please.
This elotero was cracking us up!
Thank you. You're welcome.
15 pesos. Thank you. Thanks.
You've converted. 80% Mexican now.
You're eating pomegranate seeds with tajin and lime. With a sombrero.
[Laughter] With a sombrero. Now, just start talking in Spanish.
I am eating pomegranate with Tajin, lime, salt.
With a sombrero.
Oh my gosh! In a Tianguis.
In a tianguis? Yes.
[Maddie talking to a vendor] No? No. Okay.
Alright, for the very first time, I was literally told not to take a video of some pottery.
What's that? Do you want to get some?
Peyote gel with marijuana.
Oh! It's for sciatic, lumbar. We were talking to someone who uses that for pain.
And it was really good. Oh.
Those have got to be the most ornate collers.
Really pretty. Homemade. Yeah, those were super cool. So we made our way up and through,
This once and we're going back again.
Because there's a lot of side streets that fill up with vendors as well, so
It's a lot to take in. There's such a good variety of things here.
I feel like this is a great place to get your weekly produce.
Do I have purple teeth?
Nah, in the back, just a little bit.
Do pomegranates do that to you guys too?
Maddie was eating these the other day,
And after she was done, I was like "Your teeth are really purple!"
Like straight up purple, it was really weird! [Laughter]
Oh my goodness gracious! They're so tiny!
This is what I want to drink my tequila out of, only.
[Laughter]
So I just found a one peso (coin) on the floor.
And somehow this is less exciting and less fun
Than finding a 50 centavo. Because as you guys know, I'm very weird.
And I'm collecting those. I'm still keeping my eye out for that 5 centavo, though.
So what did you think?
So we've now seen the entire thing. Twice.
There's a lot more variety than our other one (the other tianguis we've seen).
I don't know where you're going. Our car's that way. Oh. So is the plural
of tianguis like tiangui?
Tiangui.
Tianguiseses. I think it's that. [Laughter]
Like hippopotamuseses.
[Laughter] I thought that was cool. In
Full honesty, I think the prices were higher.
Even than in town. Like you were noticing
That the pirated DVDs. No, I'm sorry, the legal
The 100% legal DVDs that they were selling,
They were 15 or 20 pesos each.
And normally they sell for 10.
In town, here in Ajijic. Same with produce.
There's cool art and stuff there. One guy who's a college student in Guadalajara.
Was here selling his art.
With tiny canvases. So cute. And then
Little drawings made on bent spoons.
And then we ran into our patrons, Rick and Judy.
Hi Rick, Hi Judy! Who had just bought one of those painted spoons.
They're really cute! We love things like this and would probably
Buy more of them. But honestly,
We're doing our best to get rid of more things in our
Suitcases. That way we can have more room in the car and just
Move around the country with less.
But I love exploring. I love
These type of experiences. We get to
Practice our Spanish a little bit. Interact with people.
See where their
Hard work and love goes into what craft they work on.
And I would definitely come back to this. I mean, even if the prices
Are a little higher. You're paying for the convenience of
People speaking English. Almost everyone did.
For everything to be in the same place, which
Is nice and convenient. And I didn't think it was overly
Crowded. There were certainly a lot of people, but it wasn't like
Shoving shoulders with everyone. It was
Not that bad. Why didn't you get that dress you tried on?
Well, you said it added 50 pounds to me.
And the camera already adds 10 pounds.
So I would be morbidly obese if I were to have bought that.
And right at the end of this tianguis, there is
All these horses in the median here. Which
We were, on our very first time that we ever came to Ajijic,
Our friend Robin was telling us that you can pay 100 pesos
And they will take you to some destination you choose.
We think that's the number we were told. We should probably check on that.
Alrighty guys, we also need to address
Something we've been getting a lot of questions about.
And that is the house we're staying in, and what we're paying for it.
And what the link is for it and everything like that.
And the reason that we haven't shared those details
Is because the owners of the house
Asked us not to share what we're paying. Generally,
We are always going to be straight-up and
Give you all the information that we possibly can because we realize
That people are using that to plan. Like
How much could I expect to pay for a place? What is rent like?
And things like that. But then, sometimes,
It's like, it's okay for us to have private details about
Our life that we don't tell you sometimes. In this case,
It was just being respectful of the owner's wishes.
That they didn't want that information shared. Something else we've
Been getting asked a lot. Are questions about our temporary residency.
We are going to be making a video on that when the process is
All complete. But it's still in the works. So yeah.
Yeah, so we're wanting to make a really detailed video on that.
But it's not happening quite yet. So if you guys
Could just hang tight, we're planning on putting every single detail
From the costs, to how long it took.
And where we went to get all this done, and the paperwork.
But we want to make sure it goes smoothly and we can actually
Finish the process before we start giving out advice.
Technically, we still have a little ways to go. And we really, really
Don't want to discourage you guys from asking questions. Occasionally,
There are just a few details that we can't share. So by
All means you guys, ask questions away. Leave comments
We are here to help you out if we possibly can. But
If I'm being perfectly straight-up, it really, really
Peeves me when people think and say things like
"Oh my gosh, you guys are hiding this information!" or
Some people have gone so far as to say
"How could we possibly afford a house like that? Clearly we're trust fund babies!"
For goodness sakes, sometimes we can't share all the information.
But just know, that's not what's going on here. We do not have a trust fund!
You know what it comes down to is, we would never in a million years,
Okay, maybe in a million years.
[Laughter] As of this time in our travels and
The money that we're making, we would not be able to afford a house like this.
Unless it was a hybrid house-sitting /
Rental type deal that we have worked out with the owners.
So we're getting our happy hour on now, even though
There's not really happy hour here. Where are we?
We are at this restaurant, I don't know the name.
Restaurante Don Pedro.
We are here at Restaurante Don Pedro.
And I'm going to drink a margarita.
And she...
Ordered... I ordered white wine.
40 pesos. And 60 for my margarita.
Do you like it? Yes, it's strong.
It's a little more expensive than they generally are.
In general, the margaritas near here.
Are cheaper than 60 pesos but it's a good margarita.
Very good. Our server here just brought us out two shots.
On the house. It's really smooth and
It has kind of like a fruity essence to it. Which I've never had that before.
In tequila but I kind of like it! I haven't tasted it yet, get ready for my face.
Okay, not much of a face. It's smooth, right? Super smooth! It's good tequila.
They said this is their house tequila.
Table for 4 or maybe 6?
Okay, this one or the other one.
Thank you. [Laughter] Okay, so now we're at brewhouse.
It's this really cool restaurant. It's like
Got ribs, beer. On Wednesdays, they have this great special.
For ribs that's 2 for 1, right?
No, half price. Half price, or...
I mean, that's basically 2 for 1, but...
Not if you're single. If you only want to buy one, it's not, but..
If you're alone, it makes a big difference.
[Laughter] They have
Fish and chips, half price on Tuesdays. Ribs, half-price Wednesdays.
Thursdays, half-price wings!
It's really good. I'm not even really a ribs fan but they're so tender.
Like Mmm! One thing that we really like about Ajijic and the surrounding areas,
Is that there's so much different types of food, like
We've had Thai food. We just heard about a Chinese place.
And of course, you've got some great Mexican food! [In a southern US accent] And then you kind of have southern food.
This this. This is where you can get some ribs, some real good ribs!
Okay, bye bye!
Do you want a treat?
Out of the kitchen.
[Laska talking] I don't know what trick this is.
Laska.
[Laska talking] Out of the kitchen.
[Laska talking] Hey!
[Laska talking]
Laska. Sit.
Sit.
Stay.
Go!
Oh yeah! Someone else appears to like the ribs as well!
Well it was so good, we didn't show you guys.
We stuffed our faces instead. They were
55 pesos each, I think? Yeah because they were half off.
And what's about to happen, is, because Jordan thought I would be
Highly embarrassed by doing this, so I hope you enjoy.
[Laughter] So if you liked this video, give it a thumbs up!
Oh, he's going to be quiet now!
[Laughter] Why don't you tell the kind folks what they should do if they liked this video? In a normal voice!
[Laughter] If you liked this video, give it a thumbs up!
And subscribe to our channel to see more videos that we're putting out in Mexico!
And!
GONG THAT BELL!
[Laughter] That's the loudest I've ever done it!
So you get notified the next time we put out a new video and we'll see you there!
