I love how Mexico is about free enterprize, free expression and pride for their cities and towns. The country has the most wonderful, friendly people everywhere.
Hey thanks for the shout out! That breakfast looked delicious :)
1:30 Comida corrida is a two or three course meal which typically includes rice, soup and agua fresca or soda. The restaurants which offer comida corrida are usually known for being economical and fast.
Thanks Jonno! That's definitely not what this was then. It was just the one plate of food and no drink was included.
Maybe she understood your order wrong! Because, like Jonno said, they first bring you soup, or a "soupy" kind of meal, then rice, salad or even spagetthi in some places, and then the main course. All of this with endless agua fresca and tortillas.
I think you ordered off menu breakfast and she was confused. It's normally cheap and multi course as was mentioned. I don't think it was gringo price or anything, just lost in translation.
By the way it looked, it doesn't seem like a "comida corrida".. close, but not the same..
It's similar because when you go to a "fonda" (small restaurant) to eat "comida corrida", they would also have several pots ready with the "guisos"
The difference comes in the way they are served.. "comida corrida" is always a 3 course meal (at least):
1. a liquid soup: it could be a small cup of chicken broth or some vegetables soup
2. some carbs: rice, beans or spaguetti
3. the main course: there you should pick one of the "guisos", can't have them all
Also, it's not unusual that a restaurant does the same thing, but they usually call it "menú del día".. you could either choose something "a la carta", or go with the "menú del día".
It's usually a one page written by hand.. or if they have a small slate (blackboard) they would write something like this:
** Menú del día **
Sopa de verduras / caldo de pollo (vegetables soup / chicken broth)
********
Arroz a la mexicana / spaguetti rojo (mexican rice / red spaguetti)
********
Pollo al estofado (chicken stew)
Puntas de res (small chunks of beef.. similar to fajitas)
Chicharrón en salsa
You have to choose one item from each section: soup or broth then rice or pasta and finally your main dish.
Some come with "agua fresca" and even coffee or tea.. but you should better ask upfront.. sometimes they could give you only one glass of "agua fresca", or even a small pitcher..
Would love to see you try one of this.
Salu2
I think the place offers comida corrida during lunch, but they went at breakfast time. Yes, comida corrida is usally a tree courseeal including a beverage, but is usally served at 2:00 to 4:00 pm
Would you like to see a $10 entertainment challenge? (where we see how much you can do/experience for $10 usd)
"Comida Corrida" mostly is at lunch time and it includes several small meals. The price is prefix and it is cheaper then "a la carta". It is cooked fresh in large quantity, so it is the fastes order you can get. Comida corrida's advantages are ...it is fast, it is cheaper, and it is cooked that same day. The bad side is that there is no way that you can have an special order on it. Maybe some restaurants may offer it, but mostly you gotta look for fondas (very small family restaurants). By experience I know that some people charge higher price for things in order to get some profit, they do it higher because they dont get to sell enough to cover cost, on the other hand other people charge less, but they sell more. Its like a vicious circle.... I bet you know this, specially in Mexico, you gotta look for busy restaurants or fondas. That means that either the food is very good or at least is cheaper then the rest.
I am living vicariously thru u guys thanx
Totally stoked you guys are in ajijic. We are seriously thinking of making the move from Canada with our 2 children. I don't know if it's possible, but we would love to see a video about Terra Nova Institute in Ajijic or other schools. See what you can do. Keep up the great work.
I live right next to that school :)
I just watched your video "E-bike ride home" yep, you took us on a nice ride dodging cars parked in the bike lane right to Terra Nova. Are you living lake side year round? would love to have a chat sometime, if your up for it. you got a new subscriber!
Standard Graphics . hello our kids have been going to terra nova. We like it.
I would love to hear more... FB friends request sent!
The pollution is a topic that should always be covered when speaking of this area. Nobody with children should ever visit this area period
I absolutely Love your videos guys!!
Breakfast with handmade tortillas could raise the price because one handmade tortilla cost more than a machine tortilla. A kilo of machine tortilla cost around 13 pesos meanwhile a handmade could cost 40 or even 50 pesos depending on where you are.
Those tortillas looked freaking awesome too.
You are really good tourist; I'm glad you guys don't ask for something outside of the menu or try to modify the plates; in my opinion I always try to tip even in those small places, maybe that tip it's the bus ticket for the daily commute and that can make a huge difference; keep up the great work cheers
Such a double standard. Mexicans can be VERY picky about menu's, but when a tourist does it...
I'd like you guys to look at apartments and houses for rent there!!
Hi, it's not gringo price, it is more like "strangers price", this kind of places have their regular clients and charge about 10% more to people they don't know, it was a great price though, in Ciudad de México and most urban places, hand made tortillas are more expensive than places with tortillas from "tortillería or tortilladora" (tortilla machine), and hand made tortillas are considered a real treat
Hand made corn tortillas...yum, yum!
At 7:17 in the video its called a "merry-go-round" and when I was a kid playground's had them (mid 60s to mid 70s) in the USA, but they were about twice as big in circumference. Thanks for your great videos I enjoy them.
You guys are growing so much through these videos. You are experiencing true local flavor and diving into the language customs and culture. You guys rock!!!
Thanks for appreciating our efforts Dorota! Sometimes it really puts us out of our comfort zone, but we still try diving in anyway. :)
Tip: pomegranate also taste great with lime and chili, hope you try it next time. Great videos!
Watery eyes and mouth watching this vid. So beautiful how you can have that scrumptious breakfast at someone's very homey restaurant!! Mexican culture is just priceless.
I dont live in a tourist town..and our prices are about the same....Kinda hard to say if prices are going up, or if they gave you gringo prices when you guys managed to eat 2 meals, snacks in between, and a shot of tequila...and still had a couple pesos left......
Omg. Comida corrida is a must in Mexico during lunch. Some places open at 3am in CDMX for taxi drivers. They are amazing. Traditionally started by family members out of the first floor of their home. Over time and popularity has turned them into thriving historic establishments all over Mexico. Maybe not for tourist. They can be confusing if you don't speak Spanish. But gotta love grandmas cooking. Some of my best meals have been in places like these. They get very down home. Enjoy and cheap!
That was definitely a enjoyable video and also it looked like a really fun day⭐
At @4:20 she's saying "con razón" which in this context means "Oh, that explains it", or "Oh, I see". I'm not really sure how to explain the meaning, but it's kind of when you realize something, or something becames clear to you, like:
- ¿Por qué vienes mojado?
- Estoy mojado porque llovió
- Ah, con razón.
That makes way more sense than the translations we were coming up with! Lol Thanks 😀
My pleasure! :D
Tangerine Travels makes sense is another translation for "con razón"
Great explanation
"Con razón" means "no wonder."
The first place for comida corrida wasn't expensive, that's standard price if you consider that's a full course meal that includes 2 or 3 dishes, tortillas and drinks
It was only a relatively-small plate of food that didn't fill me up, they brought out 3 tortillas for the 2 of us to share, and no drinks were included. Does that change things?
It does change things, you should try other places for comida corrida
For the portion that both received it was a bit expensive. :)
How do Ajijic prices compare to your city?
Very inexpensive in comparison to virtually anywhere in Canada.
Ya guys said that the Cocina Económica charged 65 pesos per person, fair enough similar to Querétaro, If you go to a food stall in a mercado, they'll charge ya 50 pesos, it will only include a portion of fried rice, beans and your choice of guisado(chile relleno, tortitas de papa, bistec en salsa verde, etc.). If you go to a Cocina Económica, like this lady's home, the price varies from 40 pesos to 65 pesos, there's a Cocina Económica in the downtown area, fresh made tortillas, about 6 tortillas per person to go with your Sopa aguada(chicken broth or veggie soup), Sopa de Arroz and finally the guisado, my fave is the Chile relleno and a portion of beans, a small cube of jello and the day's fruitade, which is usually horchata, tamarindo, limon or jamaica, for 65 pesos.
BTW you guy's and kinetic kennon's are one of my favorites you tuber's I love watching you videos alot thank you for let me and show me about Mexico and your great aventures !!!! LOVE YOU GUY"S
Well, Ajijic is a touristy area, so expect higher prices than GDL. Try doing this same experiment in Jocotepec or and I'm sure it will be cheaper
I'm maybe out of context, but... Why don't you guys cook? Cooking Mexican dishes could be a very interesting topic. Watching you buy cooking supplies and experience the joy of making your own meals can give you plenty of chances to have more and different videos. I would love to see you doing it, while saving much more money.
Hi Guys...Love you! The name of the roof style is Palapa!
My wife and I are planning on moving to Mexico in two years and Ajijic & Lake Chapala are on our list to visit. Love the street foods of Tacolandia “Mexico”. Thanks for the great videos and the Positive Side of Mexico’s! 💗❤️💗
My husband and I have been here in Ajijic for the past week from outside of Phoenix. We are heading back home tomorrow. (Our friend who picked us up at the airport, her house is at 9:02 in your video). We stayed on 16th de Sept and Ramon Corona. The streets and sidewalks drove me crazy. Too hard to walk on without almost dying lol. We won't be moving here after all. We ae going back to california where our heart lives.
Cuando llegan a una ciudad o pueblo, ¿cuál es la mejor forma de encontrar un buen alojamiento que sea barato pero seguro (para no tener que preocuparse por su ropa, etc.). ¿Usan airbnb?
It's rainy season now the flowers are blooming and the mountains are green. Ajijic is up in the mountains it will take time to adapt to to the altitude. Pace your breathing with longer deeper breaths to keep up the energy.
"Mandarinitas" Lol
You know what's cool? Your $10 challenge made me wonder if I could do that in my city. I thought it was most likely impossible unless I bought total crap coffee and food... Which then made me smile because in México I know I can complete the challenge and have good food and drinks!! México for the win! ❤
It would've been so difficult in Phoenix! Just like you say, buying food that's garbage might get you through the day.
Hi again!
I have family in Ajijic and its our hometown! .... I hope you love it and enjoy it! hollar if you need anything!
Comida corrida is kinda like Mexico's idea of "fast food" as opposed to "comida callejera" which is street food. Unlike fast food though, comida corrida consists of what is basically a mexican home cooked meal that has, for the most part, been pre prepared and ready to eat almost as soon as you order. Its a popular option when you're looking for something quick but dont want to eat street food, and its also generally healthier than street food as well. It's also a good way to eat to experience what mexicans really eat on a daily basis. The dishes will change depending on the whim of the establishment owner and the region you're in. Even though there is a lot of overlap between the cooking of the different regions of México, there can also be very notable differences depending on the state you're in.
I recently subscribed and now I'm addicted. I've never been to Mexico and now I want to move there. I love the people and the food and the atmosphere that you present in your videos. So sweet that you were searching for the hungry dog. I'm an animal person myself. God bless and stay safe.
Thanks for subscribing to our channel Lrds! Makes us really happy to know you're enjoying our videos. We have a huge soft spot for animals (especially street dogs), so we try to feed them as much as we can.
My friend lived here and now lives in the country not far from here but I think she liked this area alot and lots of Americans here.
Hey thanks for your videos, are very informative. Most casual places are not used to get tips but they are so gratwful when they receive any. I'm Mexican living in Tex.and I love watching the videos.
So glad you tried to help the dogs! We always do that when we are in Mexico.
Hey guys! I just wanted to do a shout out to you and say that we LOVE your youtube channel! We watch your channel a lot and we feel sad that some of the people in Mexico are haters that there is nothing that we can do about that. But just know that when we move a about 3 years from now we will look you guys up to say Hi! and to let you know that we appreciate all the videos that you do! Keep up the good work!!!!! :-)
I use to called the homemade tortillas "applaudidas"english translation. Applauded tortillas when I was around 3-4 years old. My mom remembers. I use to tell her, " yo quiero unas appludidas" she use to crack up.😂
That is the best thing ever.
That is so cute! Omg 😍🤣
About the comida corrida, I think maybe she misunderstood your order, because typically it's usually three dishes in order; they first bring you soup, or a "soupy" kind of meal, then rice, salad or even spagetthi in some places, and then the main course. All of this with endless agua fresca and tortillas. There's the posibility that comida corrida it's different in Ajijic, but I really doubt it.
At 10:30, the word you're looking for is "palapa".
Ah, your videos are very entertaining to watch. You can immediately tell your spanish is improving.
Keep up the good work!
Ah yes, palapa! I think the two words that we mentioned are both cities now that you mention it. Lol
Thanks to your videos I'm visiting Ajijic in two weeks :D
Cool :) It's a great place, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
Love your videos! You guys are so much fun no matter what the weather may be! Thanks!
Tipping...well that's a good one. It varies EVERYWHERE in Mexico. Rule of thumb, if you see a tip jar for propinas then tip. Here in Ensenada, tipping is expected for EVERYTHING, including delivering propane. Good luck with figuring out this one, and I would love to hear what you discover about that going forward...
We usually just tip in restaurants/bars. That place is more of a "fonda" and people don't usually tip there.
Do you think we got "gringo price'd" today?
Tangerine Travels I heard the internet in Ajijic is very slow, how long does it take to upload your videos? Will it affect you uploading videos?
+Bud's Antics, A couple of weeks ago when we were here, it was taking 36+ hours to upload a video. But we got a new internet provider that has much faster upload speeds and this video only took about an hour. Internet speeds really depend on the part of town you're in and what company you're using.
I don't think you got "gringo priced"... it seemed reasonably priced. Have a nice time at ajijic
Yes, I think the cost of the first meal was a bit higher for the portion of food that you received. :)
I think everything seemed reasonably priced. It’s so much cheaper there in Ajijic than in northern Mexico.
Ajijic and its surrounding towns are beautiful. Thanks guys for not moving to far. Thumbs up for another great video. 👍
Yes please do this one again, even though this version of it was a lot of fun. And I would love to see y'all do a video on what you can do for fun for $10 a day in Ajijic. Thank you for showing all of this good information! I'm going to start Spanish lessons soon!
This reminds me of a German tradition called "Besenwirthschaft", which roughly translates to "Broom Pub".
People will hang a broom outside their house, usually adorned with colorful ribbons or balloons, to signal that they are operating such a "broom pub" and that means you can just walk into their private home, sit down in their kitchen or dining room and be served homemade food, almost as if you were part of the family, just that you have to pay like in a restaurant.
Spinning things are Merry go rounds, each person pushes their portion to make it go fast, and then jumps in the closest section. So all persons benefit from combined labor.
What a great exercise in teamwork. I knew those giant spinning rides with (usually) horses and animals you sit on were merry go rounds, but I didn't realize these were too. Thanks!
OMG!!! You guys made me get hungry after watching your breakfast meal from the beginning of the video.
I'd like to see you drive around the lake and visit the little towns along the shoreline.
When you tip in Mexico in a small restaurant like that you will tip around 20-50 pesos. ( as usual the better the service the higher the tip).
Also I would normally round up the check so if your bill is 80 just leave 100.
If you got by the American standard (~15%) this is usually above what Mexicans would tip so it’s much appreciated by workers.
Note: Mexicans can get away without tipping but we expect foreigners to leave a tip, of course if the service was terrible, you can too get away without tipping.
We are going back to Tlaquepaque for a week and are going to sneak in a weekend in Ajijic...watching these to get the goods! Can't wait! Seems like I haven't travelled in a million years with the virus thing. Def going to the mud bath place!
That's interesting you compared parts to Scottsdale. Both my husband and I grew up in Scottsdale and we don't see it at all. We didn't care for Ajijic all that much. If we come back, we would rent a home upon the hillside for an amazing view of the lake. :)
dude...that lady making those fresh tortillas...absolutely awesome!!! That makes the food taste amazing!!
Hey guys, your videos are awesome! I have to say that the tip in these particular "local restaurants" is okay if you keep it at minimum, it's not like a "rude" thing from you. You guys have a new fan here, Keep it up, greetings from Monterrey, Nuevo león
For balance you should tour the residential zone of the locals. The zone north of the highway. South of the highway is for the retired rich and tourist.
the $10 day challenge videos are my absolute favorite!!!!!! plus its fun to see you eating and drinking unusual things :)
I'm sorry but I really love it when she speaks spanish!!
I went to mexico for the whole month of may and you guys make me wanna go back
As for prices, as a general rule, wherever there is a large influx of "wealthy" foreigners (relatively speaking), prices will always be higher than in the rest of Mexico. You didn't notice much of a price difference between Ajijic and Guadalajara because during your stay in Guadalajara you stayed in upper middle class areas like Chapultepec and Chapalita. However if you compare to say Tlaquepaque or the less affluent areas of Guadalajara, then Ajijic is definitely considered a bit pricey. And its understandable because if your establishment is visited often by people with dollars with at least 18.47 times the purchasing power of the locals then you can pretty much afford to raise your prices.
Yumm that breakfast place looks so good. It's like going over to your grandmother's house to eat with family.
megustan sus video's estan buenisimos
Gracias Reyes! :)
Ooh I’m excited to visit in March.
Comida corrida basically means fast food, if you go to a Fonda, all meals are already cooked, you just pick whatever you like and they serve it to you right away.
Come to Palm Springs area in winter and use Facebook marketplace to find places to go eat or pick up food at people's homes. Look us up we live at a hot springs resort.
I just stumbled upon your videos and I love them! You've made me re-live my childhood summers in Mexico with that horchata in a bag!
Do you ever fix meals at "home" or is it just cheaper and easier to go out? I like to cook so if possible would want to prepare most meals at "home" (I think lol). Thanks!
So I am getting the nerve to start my journey in travel and I have been catching your show. Your progress is very enlightening and becoming my favorite. Please if you will, show more of what we are missing and more conversation with the locals and the travelers. Thank you!
I agree with you guys..Suburbia in the US is so boring and looks the same in virtually every city. Even in the affluent neighborhoods that are new all look the same. You can find similar mass-produced concrete box communities in Mexico, but typically these are gov housing for low-income families. But in general, Mexican houses and buildings are pretty cute and unique.
How sad you didn't know how to use the playground equipment. The US is crazy sometimes.
As I kid I knew, but they quickly became banned from playgrounds across the state where I lived because of accidents and injuries.
a lot of millionaires in la floresta, chulavista and cumbres condos, they have their business in guadalajara and have those mansions in Ajijic for the weekend
Cómoda corridas are meals normally cooked like at home. They could even have cereal in the menu. Many soups. I like milanesa. Almost like chicken fried steak, but very thin.
my parents house is behind you at 9:39 LOL TYVM!!
Heh small world :)
Custom in Guatemala, generally you can ask for more tortillas, no charge.
Oh, by the way, "comida corrida" means that is not your choice from the menu, is a preset combination of dishes that usually include a soup (of the day), main plate and dessert and your choice of drink or coffee, all for a set price.
Nice video. I live in Guadalajara, which is 1 hour away from Ajijic. I can tell prices of restaurants in Ajijic are a little higher than in GDL, but the quality of food is worth paying some extra pesos. I normally tell national and international visitors that the best restaurants in Jalisco are in Ajijic, not in Guadalajara (capital of Jalisco state). Now, I think somebody has already explained what "comida corrida" is, but I´ll add some more details. A "comida corrida" is a fixed menu which changes on a daily basis. It is what the French call "menu du jour". In Jalisco state, a comida corrida normally comprises a soup or an entree, the main dish accompanied with a couple of sides and 1 beverage. In other parts of Mexico like Mexico City, a comida corrida consists of an entree, a soup, a main dish, desert and 1 beverage. Normally you can choose 1 from 3 or more options of main course. It is the most affordable option you´ll find in Mexico to get a lunch. In Guadalajara the average price of a comida corrida is between USD$7 to $USD10, depending on the type of restaurant. In less expensive cities, a comida corrida costs like USD$5
If you want to try good Indian food in the center of the town there is an Indian food restaurant
In Guadalajara we call it elote to the in the cup and in the in the cob variants but we understand what is what people from CDMX call esquite, one is elote and the other is elote en vaso (cooked corn in a cup)
My mom is from cdmx my dad from michoacan.. we live in texas and when i visit either place i always tip ... being mercado or tianguis or restaurant:) I doubt anyone in mx will find it “incorrect” love watching your videos !
patricia rangel me too !
♥️♥️♥️
Hello guys saludos from Chicago, my name is Manny and I really enjoy watching your videos because I'm interested in go back to Mexico and with your videos I discovered that beautiful place called Ajijic, I'm from Zacatecas but I really want to live in Ajijic when I go back to Mexico, probably in about 8 months I will be moving with my wife and my daughter, keep up the good work and I really enjoy your videos, hasta luego!!!
a la mayoria de los extranjeros no se les ofrece la comida corrida para que pidan a la carta. es el extranjero el que debe de preguntar si tienen comida corrida. en la mayoria de los restaurantes se acaba rapido, en algunos lugares tienen hasta 5 o mas guisados y los guisados pueden ser pollo con papas arroz y frijoles con sus respectivas tortillas, bistec ranchero con arros y frijoles, etc,etc, en algunos lugares te incluyen agua de frutas o una soda pero no en todos.
I absolutely love the Jazz music in the background of this video. Great choice. :)
hey guys any chance you'll visit puebla?
I am a bit confused about the pesos versus US currency at arounds 11 min in your video... what is the difference between the two ? Hope this is not a dumb question... thamk you so much fir sharing your life experience ,
I love your videos! Can you get flour tortillas at most restaurants or are they all corn tortillas?
I'm not sure. We never ask for flour tortillas. In fact, we're always asking for corn tortillas specifically because Maddie's allergic to gluten. Maybe someone else has an answer for you?
While in Mexico your choice of place to eat for breakfast is my regular and I have always tipped.
Great conversations and relaxed atmosphere.
Beautiful choice
Also find places in the markets and taco stands.
I have made friends everywhere.
While in Guadalajara hotel in the center close to walmart.
Taco stand by OXXO is my regular for evening eats.
We have found the churches with court yards or parks for evening meals as well. They are always filled with familys in the evenings.
Love the ambiance family atmosphere with kids.
I was always trying to stay on a low budget.
Rosa (lives in Jalisco) and I have been together for 7 years now in a long distance relationship.
I'm always getting her to go out to other parts of Mexico, as you are doing, and soon I hope to move there. She has told me that she never traveled out of the community or city she has lived in all her life.
I am a USNavy veteran and love to travel. The travel bug is in her now.
Love your videos.
Enjoy your time.
We need to go back there again. Great atmosphere and food served by lovely people. Sounds like you've really scoped out the area. We'll have to try and find those taco stands. ;) Thanks for watching our channel, Craig!
Churches with big parks in front fill with life in the evening taco stands everything you can imagine
Family's come out including kids. Some with music or DJ type. Rides for kids.
Those markets with stands you pass, walk through them.
There are little places to eat there too.
The zoo in Guadalajara has an amazing view at the end (aside from the white herd of deer)
You got to see it.
Cemetery
Penteòn de Belen
go visit
Many stories and history
When you see the building in the center you may understand that the Architects person around the world building churches and Cathedrals around the world.
I am with a native when I am there, we explore a lot and visit a lot of museums.
Usually hidden by the beautiful old buildings.
Enjoy your stay.
Comida corrida. Fast lunch.. fast food. Now fancy sit down restaurant.
You guys are great. I can’t wait to get to Chapala so I can start my cooking channel!!
the xchange rate seems to change from one cafe to another??what is the price for a litre of sin verde gas??
In comida corrida places you don´t need to bring "propina"
lol awesome "El Infierno" is actually my cousins bar i really hope you enjoy yourself out there. I was there 2 weeks ago visiting family and already miss it
Those are handmade tortillas, if you find a place where people make handmade tortillas you already know it's going to be a little more expensive than usual because they spent time making the masa and its not tortillas from the tortilleria. They don't expect a tip, especially if you live in the town or city. Places that expect tips tend to be super touristy, like a resort or beach restaurant. I really like your guys' videos!! I have heard though that when people start to tip the locals get used to it and then demand tips, people are usually very nice anyway. I know when I went to Cancun we left tips at every restaurant, but that is because its a super touristy place. I really like your guys' videos by the way!!
@ 4:20, the lady said, "con razon" which translates to no wonder.
Please give the address of Morena Restaurante! I'll be back, to beloved Ajijic, for about the 12th time, so would like to eat there? Is there a reason you don't tell the location, in the video? Maybe, I missed it. Thank you!
Does Yelp work in Mexico? Would be a good way to find inexpensive places to eat.
Muy bonito es Ajijic. Yo voy de Guadalajara a veces los sábados en la tarde y veo el partido de las Chivas Rayadas en un bar que me gusta allá porque el ambiente es muy agradable y amigable. Y me paseo por la plaza.
I have a aunt married with white men from usa, and they are living in ajijic for many years, I will there to visit in a few months and I will like find the place where you take your lunch, looks delicious.
If you go out to eat at the Fonda place you don't need to leave a tip, most people don't tip, but is very appreciated from them if you leave five or ten pesos tip.
13:08 thats my cousins bar let me know if you go again to give you guys good deals
Oh that's awesome! We'll try and head back there sometime.
You guys are the reason why I convince my husband to let me move to Mexico in October 😂😂
Separate question: What kind of camera are you using, because the quality is remarkable. What kind of mount or holder do you use - because the clips are so smooth and comfortable to watch (not jerky)?
