Hello, Tangerinees from Puerto Morelos, Mexico.
So, we here in Puerto Morelos are still in the traffic light designation of orange,
which means we aren't perfectly free to go out and do whatever we want, but we do have some necessities to do today,
including one highly requested thing on our channel for literally the last 3 months. Should we tell them? Nope.
You're going to have to come along with us so you can see for yourself.
It has been a while since we got a chiropractic adjustment
and we normally go to Playa del Carmen for this but we just found out that our chiropractor has temporarily moved to Puerto Morelos.
So, we're going to head over to his house now to get an adjustment.
[Laughter]
Laska, I love it when you stick your tongue out a little bit like this.
In the Instagram world, that's called a "mlem!"
I also like how you said you liked her tongue sticking out and not the whole pineapple upside down dog thing that is going on.
Laksa! You're such a cute little weirdo. Hi!
Yes, that's good, you have a question?
Okay, so let's have you face down.
Hey, your hair's getting long there. [Laughter] Yeah.
It has been a while. It's been a popular debate on our channel.
Should Jordan get haircut or not?
There you go. Oh Jeez, a little out of whack there.
See? This one's a little higher than this one.
Oh wow, yeah!
[Sounds of joints cracking] A little bit there.
Beauty, okay.
[Sounds of neck joints cracking]
Oh yeah! [Laughter]
Okay, relax there. (Maddie's adjustment was different because she dislocated a rib or something.)
Were you moving boxes or what were you doing there to get this?
I have no idea.
You tweaked it somehow?
It just kind of come on out of nowhere.
You lifted a heavy mop bucket and noticed the pain at that point.
Yeah, that's right. It's not something I've never done before.
Yeah, it's just the way sometimes - the way you do it.
It must be something, you know, maybe you slept wrong? I don't know. Yeah.
But if you're carrying things and you turn with something in your hands or arms sometimes
it tweaks those rib joints. Yeah.
Doesn't take much.
[Sounds of neck cracking] Woo!
Okay. You got that one! Sure!
[Sounds of back cracking] Woah! Symphony!
Okay, the other way.
[Sounds of Maddie's back cracking] Woo! Yep!
Breathe in, exhale.
[Sounds of joints cracking] Oh, a little bit!
[Crack]
[Pop! Crack!]
Whoo! I needed that. It's been a long time. Same.
I feel so much better now. Ah!
So, up until now, we had paid him for a plan where we got 15
adjustments and we got a discount because of paying in advance for that. But this time it would have been
550 Pesos ($24.07 USD) for one of us or 900 Pesos ($39.38 USD) for the two of us.
Laska, can you take our laundry for us?
(Laska talking) How many treats do I get?
No! [Laughter]
Laska bit my finger!
[Laughter] Bye Laska. Bye Laska.
Be a good girl. Bye! Here dog. (Tosses treat)
Since we don't have a washer at our apartment and we don't really want to wash our clothes in the shower or the sink, we
take our clothes to Rush eco-laundry about every 2 weeks or so.
They have all the security measures that everyone else has in
Mexico right now, like the
disinfectant mat and hand sanitizer and all the employees are wearing masks.
Very safe. Yeah.
When we take our clothes to a lavandería or laundromat in Mexico,
we transfer it from our baskets to their basket or bag, they weigh it and tell us the price.
Washers are not common in Mexico at all. So, we have to take our clothes to a full service.
Well, we don't have to take it to a full service
but we do take it to a full service laundromat and basically they wash it, dry
it, fold it, bag it up and then we pick it up a few days later.
Yeah, it's 175 pesos ($7.66 USD) for I don't know, 2 weeks of clothing? And sheets and a bunch of other stuff.
I would clarify though that I think washers are fairly common, dryers are not at all.
But, washers in Airbnbs, washers in rentals, that has not been common for us at all throughout Mexico. Yeah, that's true.
Alright.
So, that thing that's been requested so many times - it's me getting my haircut.
And today, I finally reached the point where I'm like, "I cannot stand it anymore. I can't take it. I need it gone!"
So, I'm going to get it cut.
Can we record?
Is that okay with you? Yes. Thank you.
Jordan, your hair really is so long.
I want something like this.
Like this? Yes. Very well.
The first cuts, how good does that feel?
It's weird.
[Laughter]
[Sounds of electric hair trimmer]
It looks like you have a wig on your lap.
[Laughter] I pretty much do.
Jordan, it's funny because it looks really good on one side and then super hilarious on the other.
I look ridiculous!
Now, he's double faced. [Laughter]
This one...and this one. [Laughter]
Ahh, how funny.
Should we leave it like this? [Laughter]
Should we leave you with this length?
That's okay? Yes, yes, thank you.
Of course!
Alright, the grand reveal! This is the picture I showed him.
Yeah!
Babe, you look hot!
Well, thank you. You look so good!
Okay, do like a little turnaround.
Oh, slow, slower, slower, slower.
Very nice!
It looks really good, what do you think?
I thought he did a good job.
He was meticulous!
Yeah, he was. He spent a lot of time.
He said it was 120 pesos ($5.25 USD).
I gave him 200 pesos ($8.75 USD) just because he spent so long on it and been out of work for a while.
Also, he did a good job. Quick little story time for you guys.
For those of you who follow our Facebook page, you might remember months and months ago
we were asking you about some Mexico-themed designs for our apparel store and
finally, months later, they are ready! We've released them.
We have both been dying to release these. We've been so excited about them and they're finally ready at TangerineTravels.com
We have 3 different designs one looks like this
It has a Papel Picado, a colorful block and it says "I'd rather be in Mexico with Tangerine Travels"
The one I'm wearing is also "I'd rather be in Mexico with Tangerine Travels" and then with Papel Picado.
I personally love this shirt
and
I'm going to get more for myself. And we mentioned in our live stream and it's clearly already a crowd favorite based on orders
so far. So, if you want to get one for yourself, they'll be at TangerineTravels.com in T-shirts, V-necks, long-sleeve shirts,
Hoodies, and tank tops. Just about every size and so many other color options.
Most of the options in our store are unisex sizes. So, just for reference,
I'm 5'9 or 5'10 and I wear a medium and I normally wear a small but I got an extra small this time and
I think this fits a little bit better than the small, although I do
have a small size as well and it still fits on me. It's just a little bit longer than I would prefer.
Look at this thing. Have you ever seen anything like it? [winks]
No, nothing like it in my entire life except our thing which isn't really a thing, but it's kind of a similar thing, you know
what I'm saying? [Laughter]
This is one of our favorite places to go in town, La Sirena, and
I personally have been dying to go back here. Figured as a celebratory
second outing out since we've been trapped in our apartment for 3 months /
Jordan got his haircut. We can go get some margaritas up on the terrace. Which just opened.
Hi, I need to take your temperature.
Excellent.
I was really to the point where I couldn't stand my hair anymore.
I don't know how women do that - where their hair is touching their face all the time
but anyway, it feels really good now and it also feels good to be out here on
this rooftop terrace that just opened back up.
Ah! I love this...
The view and the breeze coming out of the ocean,
we get to look at all the birds
flying overhead and the boats out
here, and I don't know, it's just this is like the place to come in Puerto Morelos
for like a very Oceanside experience
Yeah, it's not totally open up here,
like normally, you can come up here and just buy drinks, but now if you're getting drinks, you also have to get food.
It seems like it's that way everywhere.
Yeah, yeah, it is. And the bar's closed as well up here. You can order drinks, it's just the upstairs bar that's not open.
Cheers... Cheers, I mean salud...
Salud.
Ah!
"Ah!" is right.
It's so good to be outside of the apartment.
I can't even say that enough.
I know. And this ocean breeze like you were mentioning, perfect. Puerto Morelos gets a lot of credit for its beautiful sunrises
but the sunsets are nothing to scoff at either.
This is one of the most Mexican things in Puerto Morelos. It's El panadero con el pan. El panadero con el pan!
It's this guy who drives around in this little car. The back is filled with sweet bread.
I got that grilled Portobello burger for 155 Pesos ($6.78 USD). Look at this thing! How am I supposed to eat this?
Like if I were Laska, yeah, but my mouth is only so big. Oh my gosh!
Okay, I'll bite the bottom half, I got it.
[Laughter] and then, I'll bite the top half.
Oh my gosh!
Oh, i just saw lightning.
Anyway, I got a pretty traditional cobb salad. I switched out the blue cheese for feta
and then just squeezed some limes on top.
So, no dressing for me. This was, what do you say? 165 Pesos ($7.22 USD) and I've gotten this before, it's excellent.
So, it's July 2nd right now in the Riviera Maya
and it's actually very nice out tonight.
A rare,
cool-ish night.
I wouldn't call it cool.
Yeah.
But like... It's very comfortable.
Comfortable compared to the hotness that it normally is.
You were just saying that
you could bear to live here year-round much more if we were living on the beach side
(for reference: we've lived in Puerto Morelos for 18 months so far)
because there's always a nice breeze from the water. Yeah, it's a night and day difference.
Same with the price though, from here to there.
Yeah, it really is quite a bit more expensive here. Like we pay
$500 a month for our rental and if we wanted the same thing over here
we'd be paying minimum $1,000 or probably $1,200 or more.
I'd say probably like $1,500
or more.
Yeah, maybe that too.
I was looking at our receipt and I thought it was interesting because
instead of they having the tables numbered, they have them color coded.
And ours is Tangerine! So when you're in there and you're not at your table, you have to be wearing a mask
but when you're at your table, you can take it off.
And now that we're out...
freedom! I mean, there's
some people around but nobody
anywhere close to us.
So, I suppose that means I can
probably take mine off too. What another amazing outing.
Mm-hmm to get a drink and to eat something. And to be out! And just to not be in the apartment. That was really good. My
My portobello burger was amazing. It was way too much food though. I'm absolutely stuffed right now.
Good problem to have though. I mean better than
have too much food and not enough.
Yeah, no kidding and those margaritas - not the cheapest in town:
90 pesos ($3.94 USD), but they're really good. Highly recommendable and the whole experience too.
Absolutely. If you're in Puerto, definitely go there.
I think there's a wild animal!
It's a wild animal! It's an animal!
Laska! Hi! Did you miss us?
We weren't gone that long. Hi!
Hi there doggy! Thanks for the kisses!
Hi! Hi!
Look at those back ears. So happy!
So happy! Sit.
Nope? You don't want to sit? You just want to go in circles? [Laughter]
Awe!
Get the belly rubs! So we're coming up on Laska's favorite time of the day. [Laughs]
Basically, about like 2 or 3 weeks ago, we started this thing where we would take one of Laska's
Costco treats, break it up into smaller pieces, and then hide it around our bedroom before we went to bed. And
recently, I started calling this hide and go treat and now, Laska knows exactly what's going on when we say that and if we don't
do it, she's like "Hey,
what's going on?" Like, she'll just sniff around the room. She'll just walk. She'll go all around the room sniffing everywhere.
And then she'll sass us, then yeah, then she'll start like
(Imitating Laska)
So now, you get to see what our new nightly ritual is.
Is it that time?
It's Hide And Go Treat time. You have to wait outside the bedroom
door, just stay out there. Okay? [Laughs]
So now, we're breaking it off into smaller pieces and hiding it around the room. Right there...
Right there.
Here.
(Laska)Is it time to treat yet?
She's getting sassy. You ready?
Umm, yes. I can smell them already.
Mom's not ready yet? I'm not ready.
Mom, hurry up!
Still not ready!
I will bark down the door.
Still not ready!
Okay, hide and go treat!
Oh, she just found one!
Oh, you missed two of them over there, Laska.
Oh! Good girl.
Oh!
Oh, you dropped it.
No, don't get on the bed, Laska. Got to go around.
[Laughter] Good girl.
Good girl. What's out the window? What's over there? [Laughs]
Oh yeah. What about on the window?
Oh, good girl!
You check the dresser?
Oh, good girl!
We usually hide them under there but they're not there.
Oh! good girl.
Laska, you're so tall.
Well damn! It was nice to get out of the house once again after 3 months plus in quarantine.
