So since we have now been staying at two different Airbnbs in one week, it
Reminded us of a few things that we didn't realize before traveling to
Mexico, or we didn't even think of. So we're coming back onto this property
right now and you have to be very careful of the
wild animals. One of the things that I seriously love about this city of Guadalajara
Is... Laska who's the superstar of the videos? Is it dad? Is it me?
Or is it you?
Good morning Tangerineys! I'm Jordan, I'm Maddie, and we are Tangerine Travels
The Airbnb we are staying at for the next two nights is halfway between
Bosque Los Colomos and Guadalajara Country Club.
So if you have any recommendations
of places we should see or things we should do, right in this area, please let
us know! Leave them stat! [Laughter] In the comments.
So since we have now been staying at two different Airbnbs in one
week, it reminded us of a few things that we didn't realize before traveling to
Mexico, or we didn't even think of. One of those is showers. First of all, hot water
is not a given at every single place. Or maybe you'll get some hot water but it
doesn't last very long. We never expected that because that's not a thing in the
US. Hot water is like hot water, you get it, no matter what. And it very rarely
runs out in our experience. Well, the other thing is, how you turn on the
shower. And in my experience in the US, it's usually like a left, right thing.
Left hot, right cold, and then you pull it towards you or pull it out. Or it's like
A left knob goes hot, right knob goes cold. Well here, every single shower is
different. There's sometimes a middle knob and sometimes that turns on the
water. Sometimes the middle knob always stays on. Sometimes it's what we'd
expect. Rarely, rarely is it whatever I would expect though. And who has to
figure it out every time because she takes showers at night and he takes
showers in the morning? Me! I'll share one more thing with you guys. We're on our way
to breakfast right now to the same smoothie both place we went to yesterday.
Because it was delicious. The next thing that we didn't quite expect before
traveling to Mexico is that comfortable beds are a huge huge luxury! And you can
pretty much bet, if they mention something about having a comfortable bed
in the listing, it probably is a comfortable bed. And that's not to say if
they don't list it that it won't be. But, it might not be. We've probably had more
Airbnbs with severely uncomfortable, like springs poking you in the back type
beds, than we have had very nice comfortable floating on a cloud type
beds. But I mean, I would even take your average. It
Doesn't necessarily have to be a fancy, pillow top, quilted, like memory foam
mattress to be comfortable. But like the one we're sleeping on at this place, it's
kind of like sleeping on a cardboard box or a bunch of boards. We are here at Verde
Bendito, what they call a health bar. They've got juices, shots, smoothies,
Smoothie bowls, salads, breakfast items. We love it here! It's now our second visit. I
ordered a bianico, which is usually a bunch of different fruits and some yogurt.
This time it's made with chia seed pudding. It also comes with granola or
almonds. In my case, I ordered that without it. It's really good!
It's different than the bionicos I've seen.
So my salad is 110 pesos there, and my coffee was twenty five
Pesos. And my bionico was 55 pesos.
So, except for the bionico, most
stuff there is more expensive than most restaurants that we like to go to. But,
With that being said, the portions are huge!
The smoothie bowls that we got yesterday
I think were 130 pesos, but neither of us could finish
them. We only got about halfway through.
I still have half of my salad left and you
finished your bionico, but that was a pretty reasonable size. Now, we're
exploring around the Punto Sau Paulo area. And we've been here once before and
I don't think I realized it was called that at the time. Around this area
There's like a casino. There's all these high-rises. I think
some of them are hotels, some of them are condos. Bank headquarters.
Yeah, it's a very nice area!
Well maintained. There's lots of gorgeous plants, and fountains, and other types of
structures, and it's... Yeah, it's a great place to explore. It seems like somewhat
of a ritzy area, especially with all the banks and the fancy hotels. Definitely a
wealthier part of town. It's really nice here. There's a bunch of restaurants. One
Of the things that I seriously love about this city of Guadalajara is all the
trees that are here. And they're so big, and I mean, it's kind of like looking at
a big chunk of history. This one that we're standing in front of right now is
a common one that likes to swallow up the sidewalk!
Look at this! [Jordan imitating the tree] It's like rawr, I'm a tree, I'm going to swallow the road!
Look at this! Like the roots kind of grow around the sidewalk,
and into it. It goes all the way over here!
It's huge! But then you look at the size of the tree,
And it's no question why.
This tree is gigantic! and the leaves too.
Well Jordan is smashing them, but like
The size of these leaves. I'm trying to get to one that I can reach. Bigger than
my hand! And this isn't even the biggest that it gets.
We're back again talking about
trees. We're still walking to our next destination and we're looking at this
tree, which we think is an avocado tree. And they're not ripe yet, but this is like
A fairly big sized avocado. And there's lots of them.
This just continues to show
what type of variety of plants and trees there are in Guadalajara.
Which is super awesome! We haven't talked about this before but I love how
There's so many different varieties of flowers! They're all blooming right now
in colors of purple, yellow, blue, orange, red, basically any color you can think of.
[Dogs barking]
[Laughter]

[Laughter]

Now, we're coming up to this park that's by this Airbnb where we're staying, and
It is thick with trees.
Here's another one with those giant leaves, and then
somewhat of like a fern-looking tree.
You see these roots, they just grow in, up, and
around the sidewalk. Sometimes, a lot of times these trees like lift up the
sidewalk too. This park is so beautiful, there's just like dozens of varieties of
trees, and you can hear the birds.
Laska would love it here.
The bird is playing with it (the squirrel). [Laughter]
We were going to go to a donut shop, but as it
turns out, they don't have anything that's gluten free. And I got some ice
cream. And I got some wine, so I'm pretty happy with that. Instead, we decided but
we should probably just use this gorgeous Sunday to walk around this new
neighborhood and see all the beautiful plants and the nature, and this just generally
What this neighborhood has to offer. But the rainy season has sure brought out
the beauty in this city, so we wanted to show you guys some of that. And once
again, if you know any places nearby that we should check out, please let us know.
Yep. We will be here for a few more days and we want to hit up all the good spots, if we
can. [Laughter] Also, very close to us is this running / walking / take your
dog path, in between two busy roads. But there's lots of trees shading it and
they have this nice path for working out and all sorts of stuff. And then
sculptures all along the way. Like this dog. Is it a dog?
Is it a bunny? It looks like a bunny to me.
It's like a paper mache, or no, what am I saying?
Origami sculpture.
[Laughter] So we're coming back onto this property right now, and you
have to be very careful of the wild animals!
Like that one!
Awe, hi puppy!
I hear a wild animal!
I hear it too!
It's a wild animal!
Hi! Hey. Get off me, goodness!
Hi! It's a dog!
Hi dog. Oh, hi dog.
Hi. Hello wolf.
Hello!
How beautiful!
[Laughter] Laska, who's the superstar of
the videos? Is it dad? Is it me? Is it you?
