- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- After traveling the Baja Peninsula from Tijuana all the way down to Cabo San Lucas, we're making our way back north with a stop in San Felipe. This beautiful little Mexican town is located on the eastern side of the peninsula on the Gulf of California. So…@GeneandRenee we're spending the day in San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico and you are too!
Be sure to check out our previous 2 videos on this town.

Wow! So quiet and peaceful!❤
It definitely was. Thank you Laura for traveling with us! Hope you’re having an awesome week!! 😎
You too!😊
not on the expat facebook pages
In the Desert Southwest, you know its summer when you turn on the cold water and get hot!
Arizona 🏜
100%! Thank you for watching! Hope you have a wonderful week!! 😎
Loved there in the early seventies. Much different but some things are the same, no real cold showers in the summer. Thanks for the tour. Enjoying your videos.
Thanks David! We appreciate you taking the time to watch our travels. Hope 2025 is a great year for you!! 😎
Like the drive around the town at the beginning to see the different type of houses available in the town. Food looked great, wondering what the bill was. Your lovely, relaxed videos are a joy to watch.
Thanks Michael! Nice town. Don’t remember the cost of dinner but I know it wasn’t bad. I imagine that it was around $30-40usd for the two of us. Keep in mind that the Baja Peninsula is more expensive than mainland Mexico. Hope that you’re having a great week! 😎
Amazing seeing SF through someone else’s eyes. We enjoyed our time there and literally just posted a video yesterday.
Thanks guys! I’ll be sure to check your video out and subscribe! Hope you’re doing well. 😎
@@GeneandRenee Thank you! We need all the subscribers we can get. 😅 Subscribed!
@leroiandmarie 🤠
A really stunning city and beautiful vlog! Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for riding with us Daphne! Hope you’re having a nice week!! 😎
Only way to get a cold shower is to take one in the early morning. As far as cold water to drink, we have a 5 gallon jug which goes to a watercooler. The water we have delivered to our home's cistern (2000 gallon) and is intended for the bathrooms and cleaning as it's a little brackish.
On those hot days I’m sure that cool water is much appreciated. 😀 Thanks for being part of our Journey! Hope you have an amazing weekend!! 😎
Nice production.............visit, I would like to live there. Did not see any trash, homeless, blue plastic tents. Sick of the States. Like the 1980's stereo cabinet in your hotel room. Loved seeing your dog at the lunch table in the baby carriage.
Robert thanks for watching our adventures on UA-cam. We appreciate you! I fully understand bro! You do see some trash (mainly in the cities) but no worse than I see other places. No where near the graffiti I see in the states. None of the homelessness and tarp tents until you get near the border in Tijuana. The only time we see folks begging is if they are without legs or extremely old and arthritic. Ginny (our fur baby) loves that in Mexico she is welcome most everywhere. I’m sure that the politicians in Mexico are corrupt but at least they don’t pretend that they’re not (like north of the border).
Hope that you’re having a great weekend my friend! 😎 Hopefully I’m getting better in production in our episodes. 🙂
San Felipe has many great memories for me. It's been 40 years since the summers i spent there. great vid. What is the Spanish song you used?
Hi! Thanks for watching! So glad we could help bring back good memories for you. I don’t remember what music I used in that episode. Recently I started putting the songs titles and artists in the “more” comment section of the more recent episodes. Sorry that I had not thought to do that earlier. Renee and I hope you have a wonderful week! 😎
@@GeneandRenee it's quite alright I found the song and yes very fond memories o fishing and watching that crazy tide go out I don't think I've ever been to a place where the water just disappears like that.
@saga4646 glad you were able to find it! 🙂🌞🙂
We stayed in the same spot you did! Thanks for sharing the video 😁
Oh cool Gabe! Wish we had stayed longer. Hope you’re having a great week amigo!! 😎
Spent many good weeks in SF years ago. Did you guys make the Sunday brunch at La Fonda yet. The view is spectacular
We didn’t, and are long gone now. 😢 Hope you’re having a great week. We really appreciate having you along on the Journey with us! Hope you enjoy our episodes. 😎
THE SECOND COMMENT QLICK LIKE BEFORE WATCH IM NOT AFEAID OF THE PRODUCT I WILL ENJOY MY TIME
Thank you for watching our adventures! We hope that you’re having a great week! 😎
I love how you take your dog with you! I would like to start taking my dog with me to Mexico as well. Just wondering if you could give me some requirement information to take your dog to Mexico as well as bringing your dog back from mexico. Really do appreciate it and trying to figure this out and getting all kinds of conflicting information. Thank you
Thank you Fran! Ginny really is our best friend and we love having her with us. We did a video on this subject about a year ago, the information should still be good. That episode is: How to Bring your Dog to Mexico - What you MUST know!

If you have any other questions email me at gene63@icloud.com
Thank you for joining us on the Journey! Hope you have a wonderful week! 🙂
What music is that? Sounds so Cuban.
Elisabeth I apologize for not putting the “music used in this episode” in the “More” section beneath the title. I try to do that now for all videos but wasn’t doing it at the time of that episode. Unfortunately it means that I don’t remember. I agree, it is a very pretty song! Hopefully I will use it in a future episode and remember to put it in that “More” section. Thank you very much for watching our channel and joining us on the Journey! We hope you’re having an awesome weekend!! 😎
Great video ❤️ 👍
Subbed
Thank you Roni! Welcome to the Journey! Hope you’re having an amazing weekend!!! 😎
Thanks for posting. I'm considering buying a small lot in San Felipe.
Thanks Peter! Other than the oppressive heat 🥵of the summer I think you’ll enjoy it. My personal preference would probably be La Paz for the amount of restaurants and stores but San Felipe is definitely nice. We wish you the very best and much happiness! 😎
did you get to check out El Padrino returaunt
I don’t think we did. By the time we got the recommendation, we had already traveled far away. Hope you enjoy an amazing weekend Michelle! 😎
thank you@@GeneandRenee
Any idea how I can sell a double electric lot at El Dorado???
Tommy I’m sorry but I don’t. Check with a facebook group of people who live in that area. That’s my best guess my friend. Hope you have a great week! 🙂
thank you!@@GeneandRenee
👍
Thank you Joey!
I moved to San Felipe 3 years ago. 10k expats live behind gates, 10k locals live in town. We have fiber optic cable, and supermarkets, 90 miles to the border. My new furnished house costs me $400 a month by the malecon. Please, its Fay-LEE-pay
Marcia, thank you for sharing! It sounds like you are definitely living a good life!! I usually learn many months after visiting a location that I have been pronouncing it wrong. 😑 I just learned 2 weeks ago that I’ve been mispronouncing a city in Michigan for 45 years!! Evidently I’m a very slow learner! Hope you’re having a fabulous week! 😎
Is there a full coverage insurance you can buy to cover your car while in Mexico?
Hi Kim! We used Expat Insurance (www.expatinsurance.com) while on the mainland and Baja Bound (www.bajabound.com) while on the Baja peninsula. There are plenty of other ones too and you should see some talked about in Facebook expat groups but those are the two we used. Can’t swear by them as we never needed to file a claim. Our residency is South Dakota so we’re able to cancel then reinstate with our SD agent (State Farm). This way we’re not paying for USA coverage while we’re in Mexico since it doesn’t cover you once you cross the southern border. Some states require you keep your USA coverage even if you’re not in the USA for 11 months a year…ridiculous! Thanks Kim for watching our video adventures and joining us on the Journey! 😎
Please learn the correct pronunciation of places you report to know. This part of the world is Spanish, as it has been since the 1700's.
It is San Fel-EE- pe...not San Fel - IP-ee.
Americans need to be respectful of the other countries and our own areas they visit.
Thank you.
Rose Ann you are 100% correct. It was pointed out to me after that episode first aired but nothing I can do about it now. If it’s any consolation my wife points out that I cannot pronounce places in the USA correctly either. Hope you have a wonderful and happy new year! 🥳
you need to learn how to pronounce San Felipe
Miguel, I need to learn how to properly pronounce a whole lot of words 🤣. Hope you’re having a great week mi amigo! 😎
very easy my friend only need to learn how to pronounce the 5 vowls in spanish A E I O U@@GeneandRenee
Un comentario...en español...con todo respeto...todos los turistas extranjeros (Gringos) son bienvenidos a México 🇲🇽...pero últimamente se estan comportando PREPOTENTES y muy delicados e irrespetuosos... respecto a nuestra idiosincrasia mexicana ...nos gusta la música...la BANDA...La música Norteña y el MARIACHI...en la playa, restaurante...etc...Y algunos GRINGOS quieren que las autoridades retiren a estos grupos musicales...y esto Nos esta MOLESTANDO...A LA TIERRA DONDE FUERES HAZ LO QUE VIERES...y si no les agrada ,no les gusta...NO VENGAN...Entre los individuos,como entre las Naciones,el derecho al respeto ageno es la PAZ...BENITO JUARES... presidente de México 🇲🇽. .. saludos.👍
