Welcome to OAXACA CITY!! We are so excited to be here for the next month. Have you been to Oaxaca?

[myfavoritethingsnotreal]

Oaxaca is one of my favorite places in the world! My family goes to Huatulco every year. So peaceful and beautiful.

[SammyandTommy]

It’s soo colorful and lively there!! Ahh loved this one you guys, y’all had us cracking up.. Eric nervous about the grasshopper mole and then proceeds to go eat an entire grasshopper 😅

[trevorbyron]

The first thing one notices is the colours... colourful and exciting

[RRob]

You guys are cool! 🙂 Oaxaca is one of my favorite cities! Thank you for the great video!

[stevecmitchell]

Thanks for the video. I arrive in Oaxaca tomorrow for Spanish class and Dia de los Muertos. I can’t wait!

[JustinBrehm]

What a great video thank you for taking all of us along on your journey

[wiggy]

Hi guys, what a cool place. Can't wait to see your vids

[juliasantos-qoni]

I love all of y'all's videos. You guys inspire me to travel through out Mexico more. ❤

Oaxaca, Mexico looks very enticing! The food looked very good. I really liked the excursion to Monte Alban Ruins which was very interesting too. And the wild parade at night was a thrilling way to wind up the video.

[azrael]

imposible deprimirse en un lugar tan colorido y lleno de vida como ese lugar❤. espero algún día visitar ese hermoso lugar.

[debraprescott]

It looks like a beautiful place but I had to look away when you showed the grasshoppers “cute little face” and may have gagged when you ate it!! Lol

You two are such an inspiration and I really enjoy your positive energy. Always great videos.

Enjoy your travels!

[ExpatGringo]

On my list! Color Color Everywhere - and food too!❤

Last winter we went to Huatulco. Love it, but the peak day heat was so hot. This winter we are planning on seeing Oaxaca City. Perfect climate. We are also Canadian and are looking for a new place to live. I would love to live somewhere where you don’t need an air conditioner or heater. Can’t wait to see it. Great video.

Eric and Sarah. e watch faithfully on our big screen. Since it does not have a keyboard, we seldom comment. Thank you, and keep them coming.

[trevorbyron]

Such a sweet couple. Will tune in again. You make Mexico seem great

[danielTaylor]

The colours of the buildings and all the rich history. .

[kimreyanna]

I'd recommend going to Los Danzantes (the restaurant) and don't miss Hierve el agua! (Although I'm sure that's already on your list.) Oaxaca is amazing and Día de Muertos there will be spectacular... have a wonderful time. 🧡

UNA VEZ QUE MÉXICO ATRAPA EL CORAZÓN...JAMÁS LO DEVUELVE.

I felt so much love from you and your vibrant and lovin' thoughts. I wonder what kind of camera are you using on this footage, the quality of it gives the footage a better taste of emotions!
