Awww - Molly the cat 😘💕🐱
She is such a sweetie 😍😍. We are currently having Molly snuggles withdrawals. D, you would love Molly and her siblings (Ned the cat, and Nellie and Lily her canine sisters). They are the best wee gang of cuties and we are so lucky we get to mind them.
I like seeing the places you stay but could you throw in some food videos I just love those videos I continue to share your videos with other's
Hi James! It's lovely hearing you share our videos - thank you so much! We'd love to film more food videos to add to the ones we have. In early December we'll be heading south of the equator - hopefully the foods (and hotels) we encounter there will keep the cameras rolling.
The Morelos hotel is really charming with the wooden windows and the beautiful red tiles floor and no bedbugs. 😉
Hello Marthe. The Posada Morelos remains a favourite of ours. The rustic charm is lovely but you're right the lack of bedbugs can't be beat! Hopefully it won't be another 8 years before we return there. Thanks for watching Marthe. 🤗🤗
As always, very interesting! Posada Morelos looks very nice for that price point: beautiful clean bathroom tiles, pretty courtyard, etc. I am in complete agreement about the bedbugs - even worse than getting bitten is getting them in your luggage and packing them around with you. So, the first thing we do in any hotel room is take a good look at the mattress seams. This is not a problem restricted to budget accommodation. Thank you!
Yes, the bedbug-checking ritual is a thing for us select few - we are kindred spirits! As far as we know we haven't transported the creeps from one hotel room to the next yet - that must be awful and we suspect it's very easily done. Posada Morelos is a sweet place in the heart of Uruapan and it's a very good value!
I'm so jealous! haha. I really wanna go, but it's not quite the right time just yet. I'm glad you guys are able to visit Uruapan though! haha.
Hopefully you will make it here soon for a visit. We love this city and this part of Michoacan - no trip to Mexico would be complete without seeing more of this area!
@@ACoupleofDrifters haha. Awesome. I'm glad to know Uruapan is definitely a place I need to visit!
Now you understand about me and my private bathroom requirement. I’m in that older demographic 😉
We fully understand that requirement. We are doing laundry in the bathroom sink of our hotel room right now - a private baño is totally crucial in more ways than one!
Love yiz
We love yous too Chickens. ❤️❤️
Very Cool Guys! In my younger years I could do it easily, but I'm spoiled to some kind of a/c or heat. I've noticed ya'll stay in many places that have neither. Is it ever difficult to get comfortable in your room having to bundle up with blankets or sleep when it's hot and humid?
There have been times when it's been either too hot or too cold and sleeping has been difficult - for us, nothing is worse than a room which is too humid. A fan helps, but nothing can beat a/c in hot and humid environments. We've had a few rooms with gas heaters in Mexico, like in northern Chihuahua state - it's a rare treat for us to have a heated room! Failing a heated room, extra blankets can work wonders!
with $20... Compared any place in...usa..$250 dólares and up. The worst 6 motel over $150 dólares compared with $20 dolares
Enjoyed the 2 for 1, guys. Thanks ! BTW, if you could stay in a pueblo in Mexico for 2 weeks, where do you think that might be? Not big city. TIA !
Thank you Phil! If you mean Pueblo Magicos, it would be Real de Catorce in San Luis Potosi state. We've been there a few times but not since 2014. From what we understand, it's a bit more popular now than way back then. Real de Catorce features astounding scenery, plenty of peaceful hikes and even a ghost town in the surrounding hills. Even getting to Real de Catorce is an adventure!
@@ACoupleofDrifters Thanks for the reply. Actually, I was not looking at PMs but places such as Uruapan, etc. Thanks.
A small town (smaller than the city of Uruapan) which isn't a PM and in which we could spend a few weeks: (you asked for just one but we'll mention a few)
Villa Ahumada, Chihuahua: Nothing to do here except eat burritos, quesadillas and fresh asadero cheese. It's a friendly town, but could we spend weeks there just eating? Yes.
Yahualica, Jalisco: This town is simply gorgeous and some of the best salsas picantes we've ever had are made right here. Come to think of it, we've had some of the best pollo a la leña here as well. There are also some hikes in the hills above town and the stray dogs here are especially sweet.
Maruata, Michoacan. The beach here is the most beautiful we've seen anywhere. It's not really a swimming beach due to rough tides - instead, think of a stunning and dramatic coastline, complimented by the crashing waves all around...wild, rugged and not many souls here.
Just down the highway from Maruata:
Caletta de Campos: Not much to do here but lounge on a beach but it's a pleasant enough place. The waters here are known for their bioluminescence at a certain time of year. Overall, it's a peaceful little beach town very popular with Mexican families.
Zitacuaro, Michoacan: This is a great town and makes a good base for trips to the Cerro Pelon Butterfly Preserve, which is actually in the state of Mexico. Zitacuaro is more of a city, but the little village of Macheros (also just over the border in Mexico state) would be the ideal place to base yourself for a tour to the reserve. Macheros is a charming little village and is situated in a stunning location - not much to do here but we could spend weeks hiking in the beautiful hills.
Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua. This town (often just called Parral) is quite attractive. Pancho Villa was assassinated here and retracing his last moments (his route through town, the spot on the street where he was shot and where he ultimately died) was macabre fun for us. Did we mention the town itself is quite attractive?
Teapa, Tabasco: Nothing at all to do here - sometimes that can be a good thing for us. We were shown a fresh spring in the center of town (and drank from it) and we bought some delicious honey in a Fanta bottle here. I (Jerry) also ate the best molcajete I've ever had in Teapa. When we returned a few months later (just so I could get another molcajete) I was told they didn't have them.(?!?!?) It was very humid here so we spent about a week just trying to stay cool in our hotel room while watching marathons of The Big Bang Theory and Portlandia on the television - we don't even like those shows. As you can tell, we are too easily pleased.
There are more.
We don't know if you are interested in Baja - many folks are either Baja fans, or mainland Mexico fans. Sometimes folks like both. If you want Baja suggestions, just hit us up. We spent A LOT of time there.
Sometimes all we need is just an OXXO, a Modelorama and a few places which are open for a late-night bite to eat.
Just for a reference on pronunciation: uruapan
Oooh-rooh-ahh-pahn
Thank you Ignacio - we _think_ we did a more proper job with the pronunciation of Uruapan in this video: ua-cam.com/video/ofEUmWHuy40/v-deo.html
We also _think_ this video features a better pronunciation than the one you are commenting on: ua-cam.com/video/z5aKhoFAdXU/v-deo.html
Thanks again for trying to keep us on our toes, Ignacio.
I think I've never seen bed bugs - not even sure what to look for if I'm in a hotel... it's either ignorance or luck I guess...
First hotel looked much better!
Bed bugs are brown and oval-shaped. When they are out on the prowl they are quite easy to spot as they are about the size of an apple seed. They can live in furniture, walls and baseboards - not just in mattresses. One bite (feed) can last up to 15 minutes although you won't know they are biting you if you are asleep - bed bugs inject hosts with an anesthetic. You may feel them crawling on you if you are asleep, or you may see them crawling about the bed, or on you, if you are awake.
Bites are what one would expect: red, raised, itchy and even sometimes oozy after a few days. They are frequently clustered together in three or more spots - breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Believe it or not, we have very rarely encountered bed bugs - and we've stayed at A LOT of hotels of varying quality - typically the lower end! Some of our encounters have been at basic hotels south of the border and some have been at mid-range chain hotels north of the border.
I (Jerry) seem to be the one who gets bitten - bed bugs somehow skip feeding on Fiona! Even though encounters with bed bugs have been very rare, I almost always do a cursory check of the mattress once we get a hotel room, even though I know they can live elsewhere in the room! Bed bug droppings on a mattress are also easy to spot if you know what to look for and where to find them - this is a bad sign... I am not grossed-out by much, however bed bugs really give me the heebie-jeebies! 😰😨
