@@GeneandRenee you too
Great video 👋👍👍👍👍💯
Thank you! Todos Santos really is a beautiful town. Hope you’re enjoying a great weekend! 😎
You mention that the prices are high, could you include restaurant prices as well?
Yes restaurant prices are higher here too. You really are paying higher on the Baja peninsula for everything in comparison to the mainland of Mexico. We’re told that it’s because it’s a peninsula and everything has to be shipped in. I understand that when it comes to food and gasoline etc. But real estate here is definitely affected by California both in rentals and sales. I’m going to do an upcoming video with a local realtor and we’ll explore some of that.
Hola Gene, Reneee and Jenny. I enjoyed the video very mucho! Learned a few things too. Good to see the town through fresh eyes. Hasta La próxima !
Thank you Alvaro!! So glad that you enjoy watching our adventures. Take care my friend!! 😃
Loved your video of Todos Santos. What time of year was it shot, and what is the temperature like daytime and nighttime?
Thank you Jose! Be sure to watch all of our videos on Todos Santos. We were there for the months of May and June of 2023 and loved it. By my memory I believe it was probably in the mid 70’sF (about 24C) during the days and low 60’sF (17C) at night. Very comfortable. We are very glad that you are on the Journey with us! Hope you are having a great week!! 😎
I grew up in Virginia Beach!
Cool!! Thanks for watching and joining us on the Journey. Jerry we always appreciate having friends who understand and “get” our references to Va Beach. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday and enjoy watching our adventures!! 😎
I really enjoy your experiences and point of view. Thank you for sharing!
You are certainly welcome Kate! We appreciate you watching our adventures and being a part of the journey! Hope your week is a great one!! 🙂
It's very nice. Touristy 🤔. Thank you for another great video and thank you for your honesty! Love the sunset at the end! Stunning!
Thank you Laura! Yeah, it’s definitely a gringo touristy town 😂. Hope you’re having a great week! 😎
If these businesses are charging their home prices there, are they paying their workers the same as they would back home?? I bet not.
I bet not as well! 🤔
Todos Santos IS on the Pacific Ocean. How do I know - we live here and have since 2019. Many homes are across the street from the dunes. I know of one home built on the dunes - which ExPats seem to not like for ecological reasons. Did you make it to Punta Lobos, where the fishermen go out every monorng in their fishing boats? Truly, we ARE on the Pacific Ocean. I guess ya just needed to explore a bit more.
You are of course absolutely correct! If memory serves me right, I was trying to explain that the town proper (downtown) is not sitting right on the ocean (as with a malecon similar to Ensenada or Puerto Vallarta) but inland a few minutes. We did hang out at Las Tunas quite a bit so definitely know the ocean is there. We miss Todos Santos, the beauty of the area and the wonderful people. Thank you for joining us on the Journey. We hope that you’re having an amazing week! 🙂
Thanks for talking about the cost of things there. You would think someone coming from America to start a business would have some common sense. You get so many business owners without common sense and it messes with the economy for the locals. I've never heard the term Colonialist in this day and age. I would have said, "Thank you", I think. Some people are just weird about stuff. You would think some of those owners overcharging would at least be able to afford fast internet. lol
By the way, I heard there is a scam going around certain parts of Mexico where someone will ride up to you on a motorcycle and try to sell you "extra pizzas that can't be delivered" and when you pull out your wallet, they rob you and speed off. Not sure if they are doing that in that neck of the woods though. Be careful.
What a great video. Thanks for the tour and glad you guys are back together on your trip. I'm jealous of the $25 massages! ha
Chaz you and I are definitely on the same page! Thanks for watching and commenting!! Take care 🫡
You know it may be interesting if you're looking for content to talk about prices to rent by the month or week and to buy
Happy Belated 🎉 continue to enjoy
Thank you Mikey!! 🙂
This is the most expensive place in Mexico. Most things are more than the United States. Even homes.
But it sure is pretty. 🙂 Hope you’re having a great week! 😎
Be careful the new government in Mexico has changed and the new government is very scary now be careful things are changing in Mexico
We are sorry to hear this! 😢
The most expensive place I have ever been. More than the United States.
I hear you Rex but I just got back from Jackson, Wyoming and that was very expensive too. Inflation sucks! Hope you have a wonderful weekend amigo! 😎
This video was one year ago
And IT was expensive. Now it will knock your socks off. Gotta be the most expensive place in Mexico. House prices are more than the United States. And there is no water 0 no water.
Robert I agree that it’s expensive, but it is so beautiful. I’m currently in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and the home prices here are astronomical! Thanks for joining us on the Journey. Hope you’re having a great week! 😎
How much is a two bedroom cost now
To buy or rent?
Rent and furnished
@@GeneandRenee both
I’ll ask around. Realize that Todos Santos is going to be Cabo prices and much higher than the rest of Mexico. I know a 1 bedroom casita, 1 bath, like what we’re staying in, which is fully furnished, runs about $850usd. That’s pricey! 🤔
I’ll check Angela. Just for comparison, the one bedroom/one bathroom casita that we are staying in, runs US$850 per month. That is pricey!
I want to job in Canada..
I am live from India
Plz help me...🙏
Looks lovely n quiet.......👍
Beautiful area, you’re right!! 🙂
Really enjoy your videos as always belated happy birthday 850 a month doesn't sound that bad but I haven't traveled all over Mexico that's why I'd enjoy your show. Do you have an absolute favorite place yet in Mexico😊
Michael, hmmmm. For the natural beauty either Todos Santos or Loreto. For the architectural beauty definitely San Miguel de Allende! 😎
@@GeneandRenee haven't been to Todos Santos but I have been to loretto really liked it
They both are gorgeous towns! Thanks for traveling with us via our UA-cam channel! 😎
Nice place if you're rich. We're not 😢
Okay but you can't swim at the beach.
Not sure that I want to swim where I can’t see what’s coming after me anyway! 🤣
I had a question for you guys. Last year, did you make it to Queretaro, Mexico? I just saw this video and it looks like a really nice place.
ua-cam.com/video/2cM9JjYdBtE/v-deo.html
Chaz we didn’t but intend to on future travels. Queretaro is not far from San Miguel de Allende (about 23 miles) and we would have gone but Renee broke her ankle in San Miguel and that limited our travels out from San Miguel. From the videos I’ve seen it reminds me of San Miguel. Hope you’re having a good weekend Chaz! 😎
@@GeneandRenee oh my! I forgot she broke her ankle. I’m really liking what you guys are showing of the Baja Peninsula.
Thank you! We’ve got a lot of videos planned for the Baja that should run for the rest of 2023!! So glad to hear when our friends enjoy them! 😎
Gene, I really like your videos but the music doesn't fit... It's honestly kind of obnoxious. I'd rather hear some Mexican music or something very acoustic that's soft. It drowns out everything. It's very nerve-wracking to me...😊... Other than that, I love your little tours.
Thank you. I appreciate your honest comments and will certainly look into our choices of background music. Hope you are having a great week! 🙂
CAE, I watched the video again and agree with you. It was different than what I usually use. Using Mexican music wouldn’t really fit either though for here. This town has a very “west coast American vibe. In most every restaurant we’ve eaten in the music being played is American ‘80’s rock. Kinda strange. Again I apologize for not using a better soundtrack for that video. I’ll do better! 🙂
