Buenas Noches Tangeryineys!
We are in Aguacalientes. Aguascalientes. at Isla de San Marcos for
our second day for Dia de los Muertos. And this is one of the biggest
celebrations for Dia de Los Muertos in Mexico!
I don't know why I expected anything differently but there are a ton of
people here!
We foresaw this when we were here yesterday, but yeah!
I wasn't expecting this many people!
We are not kidding, there are so many people here!
I was not expecting this whatsoever!
10 times more than the parade, probably.
Yesterday when we were here the popcorn was
5 pesos. Now they're 10 or 15 pesos. I think the corn cartel got to them.
The corn-tel, it's the corn-tel! (Corn Cartel pun). [Laughter]
So unlike a normal fair or festival or something that you might find in the US, I decided to
get a glass of wine from a local Aguascalientes wine grower, distributor,
company. And it was 50 pesos. This is super good! I didn't even know
wine was made in Aguascalientes, so I'm super stoked to try this! And it's very smooth!
We're in this area that looks like it was, or is still currently horse stables.
But there's no horses here, so maybe at not time of Día de Los Muertos...
Yeah, but instead of being horses, it's set up with all these ofrendas.
This would be Maddie's ofrenda with all the wine bottles. Just missing some tequila! [Laughter]
So this is really awesome! These are made out of like amaranth seeds and marigolds and...
Sorry, what kind of flowers? Maddie-golds. [Laughter]
I really hope it's not considered rude or
disrespectful the film this stuff because I didn't see anyone else with a camera
but what'd you think of all these ofrendas? So I think it's really
interesting to see what families and friends think is important to someone who has
passed. Things that they would put like bread or wine bottle. Different
sentimental things that they had or loved or things like that. I also think it's
kind of an interesting concept that people are just walking around and
looking at all these ofrendas of people that they might not
know or probably don't know. Yeah.
We found a popcorn vendor that the corn
cartel hadn't gotten to yet five pesos.
Oooh, 5 pesos, qué barato!
[Laughter] Oh my! [Laughter]
That looks like a blast!
We just spotted all the floats from the parade yesterday!
The one specifically that
we wanted to go on so we're going to try to get up there! Go, go, go!
Oh, they're guarding it. We can't. Ohh!
For one bright, shining moment we thought we were going to be able to get up there
but there's people in chairs sitting there guarding and I freaked out and ran away. [Laughter]
Put the kid inside and then put the leaf blower in there. [Laughter]
So we're in front of this game at the fair part of this right now where.
If you throw it over the duck and get it over the beak, you can win a prize.
I don't think it can be done but we want to win a toy for Laska.
So we're doing it! [Laughter]
Ohhh!
I'm waiting for the right time.
Please Jordan, do better than I did!
[Laughter]
Oooh!!
Don't kill the duck!
Quack. Quack. Quack.
[Laughter] Nice try.
Kids are willingly running
Toward these terrifying clowns.
What?!?
Save us all, OMG!
We're doing the zipline it was fifty pesos each.
And she asked if Jordan can
help put my dress down. Instead he just pulled it right up.
[Laughter] Thanks Jordan! This is some heavy equipment!
Yeah. All right, let's go! Some recommendations - don't wear a dress.
[Laughter] That is what I recommend.
We are going to be going over the entire lake! Oh, this is
gonna be a lot of fun! I don't, what's up with us and zip lines lately? We
see a zip line everywhere we go. This is getting high! I'm scared of
heights and this, these stairs are moving a lot!
Oh Jeez, I'm starting to shake! This is a workout!
I better put this away!
I'm terrified!
Wooo!
Ahhh!
Woooo!
Ahhh! [Laughter]
Oh my gosh, this is awesome!
Wooo!
You look like you saw a ghost. I'm terrified of heights. I got up there and I was like "No I
don't want to do this!" Are you serious?Yeah!
And then you really could not see anything! It was
like the lake below you. I actually was freaked out - like, if this breaks right
now, what's going to happen?
And it was so high! This was so much more scary than the one in Tulum that we did.
I was scared because of just like how high you start up here. Like my,
This video is gonna be shaky because I'm still shaking. Ahh poor Jordan!
Ahhh! We're climbing up and Jordans like oh my gosh, this
is really high, I'm scared of heights! I kind of thought he was just saying that
like to explain how exactly high it was cuz it was high. I wasn't scared, I'm just
like wooo sign me up, let's go! I was terrified, I don't think I could have
gone first. After you went, I'm like checking my equipment. I'm like "Oh, this looks
frayed! Can it hold me?"
Once I got going I'm like okay just get over the water - Go! Don't, don't
break before I get over the water! What a great end to the night though! Yeah.
And you might not know this but something unique about Mexico is
that we paid our 50 pesos, we went up there, put our harnesses on, and whatever.
Nope, no waivers signed, we just go. Frayed equipment, whatever happens that's the
the way that it goes!
Buenos dias! It is our last full day in Aguascalientes. We're gonna have some
breakfast here at this restaurant and I absolutely love how so many of the
restaurants, and buildings, and homes here have these Dia de los Muertos decorations!
And we forgot to mention this yesterday but Jordan tried, for the very first time,
pan de Muertos. Muertos? Pan de muerto. Muerto.
What did you think of that? How would you describe it?
So it was like, it was like a
doughnut. A chocolate doughnut on top with another donut on the bottom, and in
between the two donuts it was like this creamy stuff and fruit. It looked really
really good! It was really really good! It was really really good! I feel like I
need to eat salads for the rest of my life but it was tasty! I wonder if they
call it dead bread because that's what happens after you eat it, you get
diabetes and die! But at least you enjoyed a good, sweet, delicious last meal.
We're not supposed to get morbid for Día de Los Muertos!
Laska!
I think I hear her! [Laughter]
Come on in. Thank you!
How are you? Very well!
We are talking with Laska.
Laska! She's very excited. [Sounds of Laska freaking out]
Hi!
[Laughter] Laska! [Laughter]
Where are you going?
[Laughter]
Laska! Hi!
[Laughter]
Are you happy? Oh, hi! [Laughter]
Now that we've been in Aguascalientes for like four days or so,
What do you think about the city? I love this
city! The people are the nicest I think we've come across in all of Mexico!
Most friendly, helpful. Mexican people are nice in general but this is a whole new level.
And they actually use their turn signals to turn and the sunsets are amazing! And
how about the prices here in the city? They're some of the lowest we've seen in
all of Mexico. What else did you like about it? I think you covered a lot of it
that those were some big things. I don't think the city looks particularly nice
like it's not the newest of cities. Yeah, at least not the parts of the city
that we've seen, right very true, of course it's a big city with almost a million
people, so there's a lot that we haven't seen. But that aside, the people are
amazing, the atmosphere, the vibe here is great! I honestly can't wait to come back
again! We're huge fans of Aguascalientes, for sure! This is a wonderful place. As far
as the festival Dia de los Muertos, I had an awesome time! It was a lot of people
but not too many people so I felt like that was kind of a good, a sweet spot
because were just not big crowds people. Having just like a mess of people
kind of ruins the experience sometimes. We were going to experience some
more but it got rained out yesterday. Yeah, we wanted to do a little bit more
but as soon as we were walking out the door, the heavens literally opened up.
It is raining so hard right now that there's literally water coming in
through the skylight.
So unfortunately we didn't get to do as much as we wanted to do in
Aguascalientes but that's why we have to come back now! Thanks for hanging out with us
here in Aguascalientes! If you enjoyed this video, give it the old thumbs up and
