Alex: If you've been curious to see what a day in
the life living in one of Mexico's most beautiful cities is like, then keep watching because this
video is for you. For the best advice about moving to Mexico, subscribe to my channel and hit the
bell to be notified when I upload a new episode every Thursday. If you're new to my channel,
welcome and if you've been here before, welcome back. My name is Alex, and I moved to Mexico from
the U.S. in 2017. I have called Queretaro home ever since. I have been getting a lot of requests
in my comments, in my DMs on Instagram to show a little bit more of Queretaro's beautiful City
Center. So that is exactly what we're doing to kick off today's day in the Life Vlog. Lots of
stuff to do on it this Saturday, so I am taking you with me and showing you around the city.
Oh my gosh. We were just walking down the street minding our own business, filming the beautiful
City Center and what happened? Taylor:
I can't even say it. Alex:
A bird took a (beep) on Taylor. Poor thing, now he's cleaning it up.
Taylor has mostly recovered from the incident and we're on our way to pick up breakfast. I just had
to stop really quick on one of my favorite streets in Queretaro City Center. This is Pino Suarez. And
wow, this is a beautiful street. Probably one of the most Instagram were the ones in the city.
The houses have loads and loads of bougainvilleas growing up them, and it is absolutely beautiful.
I hope that they are in bloom when you come to Queretaro, so you can get your own picture here.
We are at one of my absolute favorite spots for breakfast in Querétaro. We've been going here for
a few months now. It's relatively new. The cafe is called Begonia Mandarina, and they probably have
the best bagels in Queretaro. A couple of days ago, I pre-ordered their Dia de San Valentin
package and it came with two... oops, they wanted to slide off my plate. Bacon, egg and cheese,
bagels. Got one for Taylor. I think we also have a carrot cake coming. It's
a Valentine's day package because, I believe that there is also a little floral arrangements
that you get. So my green juice is here. Cheers.
Now we are headed over to Mercado de La Cruz, to pick up a few groceries,
some fruits, veggies, some fish things we need for the week,
things we need for our Valentine's day dinner that we will be preparing at home tomorrow.
I've got some tequila here and I'm going to make us up a couple of my, I guess, kind of
my specialty. It's kind of a lame specialty to be honest. It's a super skinny margarita.
I hope I didn't oversell that saying it was my specialty because it's very, very basic. But I'm
not a huge fan of sweet cocktails, and neither is Taylor. If you are, you could definitely add
a bit of agave. I've done that before. Or a lot of agave, if you're super into sweet cocktails.
I've also added basil, jalapeno, if you're into spicy. There's a lot that you can do
with this simple little base. But even just like this it's super refreshing and low cal.
When we first moved to Madrid and we were looking for an apartment, we were apartment
hunting and it was super stressful. Even more stressful than in Queretaro?
Taylor: I really thought so, yeah.
Alex: It was just so competitive. In Madrid, you would
show up to see a place, and before you could even walk in the door and the owner would call you and
say, it's gone. Anyway, we had a week of looking for an apartment, stressing out, because we were
about to start our jobs. And then we found one and it was so much better than we could have
even imagined it was.[Crosstalk 00:06:24]. But afterwards, we went to get breakfast,
get lunch to kind of celebrate? Taylor:
Get lunch. Alex:
And we were sitting outside [crosstalk 00:06:37] of Theos in the park, and a bird pooped on Taylor.
But I thought then- Taylor:
That was on my head I think. Wasn't it? Alex:
Okay. Cheers to that. I thought, okay, is it good luck if a bird poops on you?
Or is it bad luck? I don't know. Taylor:
I'd like to think so. Alex:
How has that guac? Taylor:
So tasty. I would recommend. Alex:
I had to grab my jacket. Because, when the sun moved away from our little courtyard here,
it got super cold. That is Central Mexico for you. When the sun is gone and you're in the shade,
you're going to be chilly. I am out of my drink, going to go make another one. But
before I do, if you enjoyed this video, be sure to give it a thumbs up.
