We LOVE la trajineras xochimilco. Our first time was a total blast. We can't wait to go again. It's such a FUN time! Happy (belated) birthday, Kevin. Cheers to another year!
It is so much fun, isn’t it?! Thanks so much, Lauren! 🤗
Those Mi Cheladas looked spectacular! Hell Kevin was calling canoes can nose and humping a boat! They must be that good. Amazing vlog as always Kevin and Jenny!! Thank you!🤣🤣
Happy Birthday Kevin ❤🎉 Great information and another great video guys. Cheers from 2 Canadians now living in El Centro Xalapa 😂 we just moved from Coatepec. ❤ ✌🏼
Hey thanks guys! Cheers amigos canadienses 🇨🇦🫶🏻🙂 ahhh wishing we could join you for a delicious coffee in Xalapa/Coatepec! Cheers! ☕️
Happy birthday! Glad you had a great time!
Hey thanks guys! Saludos!!
Good information. I did as part of a package that included coyoacan and something else. I don't remember what I paid for it but probably too much. Happy birhtday Kevin!
Thanks, Freddy!
Great information guys. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I'm glad you guy are able to negotiate. As a ginger is hard to negotiate with anyone in Mexico. Happy Birthday Kevin.
Thanks! Ah, that stinks lol. My nephew is also a redhead and he’s 1 right now so when he grows up I imagine he might have similar challenges? Lol
Happy birthday Kevin pleased you had a great day. Yes I remember that one with the Country Collectors & in the end the police came & sided with them fortunately, as it could of been a lot worse. They tried scamming them charging for drinks etc they didn't have on the boat if I remember correctly. One of the vendor/boat guys also attacked their friend forcibly pushing him. On the way their cab driver stopped where she had friends & they said it was closed & pointed them to a different location too.
Yikes! Yes, that’s right, I do remember seeing the video where they talked about that. It’s unfortunate that there are people who try to scam like that 😕
It looks like you guys had a great time, hope you enjoyed your birthday, Kevin! Belated happy birthday!
Thank you, Cindy! 😆
Feliz cumpleaños, Kevin. 😊 Vaya, Xochimilco está mucho más poblado que cuando yo era niño en los años cincuenta.
Gracias! 😁 y si, muchísima gente
Happy birthday, Kevin! 🍾
Thanks, Steve!
las autoridades locales deberian de estar al tanto de estas formas de extorcion, pero nos hemos acostumbrado y fondeado todo tipo de corrupcion y nos espantan para estar quietos, domados.
Sinceramente si, no entiendo por qué no han hecho más esfuerzo para poder controlar esa situación un poco más.
the boy could have shined a whole bunch of shoes during that trip
This was actually in November back when we both still had jobs and weren’t so worried about money. But this was a super affordable experience considering it was shared costs with friends.
Xochimilco es muuuuuuucho más que eso. No solamente son borracheras que hacen los jóvenes y en las que hasta la vida arriesgan; pues las trajineras (no son canoas) son transportes turísticos en los que hay que observar reglas de seguridad. Han muerto ahogados muchos que se han emborrachado. Xochimilco es un lugar de tradición y de mucha Historia. Sería bueno que se documentaran sobre cada lugar que visitan. Nada dijeron sobre el significado del nombre, por qué es emblemático el ajolote (sólo dijeron que está en peligro de extinción y que aparece en el billete de 50 pesos). No mencionaron la comida, ni todas las películas del Cine Mexicano que se han filmado ahí; no mencionaron que hace años las trajineras se adornaban con flores naturales y se formaba con flores también el nombre de la festejada o la cortejada. No mencionaron la Isla de las Muñecas y por qué existe ahí; no mencionaron las chinampas ni cuál es su función; en fin, se olvidaron de lo principal. Ni siquiera mencionaron el significado de su nombre en lengua Náhuatl. No es un lugar para Spring-breakers ¿eh?
Si tienes muchísima razón. Pronto haremos un video más educativo y demostrando la belleza de Xochimilco. 🫂 saludos
Feliz Cumpleaños Kevin 🎉 This looked hella fun!
Also, y'all should do a video on the new road built from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido. If a beach getaway is needed lol.
Glad y'all are posting again 😄
Hey, thank you! 🙏 and yea for sure, just waiting for them to actually open it! lol saludos!
Thanks for the tips! Is that how they pronounce Axolotl there? Like Ajo-lo-te. I’ve been pronouncing it as A-sho-lotL. With the SH sound for X and the typical TL pronunciation in Nahuatl?
🤭you’re probably right! We’ve heard it pronounced ajo-lo-te more often so that’s what we’ve been saying but just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s “correct”. It’s a Spanish pronunciation of the Nahuatl word.
Are you able to use your own drinks and speaker if you bring one? I’m going next month
Oh yea absolutely!!
@@EatBailaTravelawesome thanks for the quick reply and my girl and I are going with a couple friends for the first time and I’m trying to plan everything, .. sorry but if I can ask another question. What’s the best way to get here as a tourist from Cali?
Catching up to comments with my coffee this morning ☕️😊
Fly into Mexico City, as I’m sure you already know. Then you can request an Uber or Didi to Embarcadero Nativitas.
Jenny poured a “anddd two shots of vodkaaaaa” on Kevin lol
😅😅🤭🤭
this critter on MX$50 note, what's the connection with corn? similar sounding name.
I love that you asked 🙂 both words, elote & axolote, are originally Nahuatl words (elotl & axolotl), one of Mexico’s indigenous languages. That’s why they sound similar
cool @@EatBailaTravel
Looks like fun times. Was that 600 pesos per person per hour? Happy birthday. -Marc
$600 pesos per hour is the standard maximum rate
Do you recommend an Uber or take our car rental?
You can do either! I wouldn’t say I recommend one or the other unless you plan to drink 🍺
Happy birthday!!
Thank you! 😆
They tried to scam us too, both in the taxi and at the boat. But it is super fun. There needs to be a Jenny boat!
boo.. that's unfortunate. And it doesn't help that chilangos have that infamous reputation for being scammers lol not saying it's true! Just saying it doesn't help.. 🤭
and maybe there was and we just didn't see it! There are so many lol
Eso ya es una locura ! Son tantas trajineras que ya no se aprecia nada al rededor , el agua que se alcanza a ver está súper sucia , eso ya parece un canal , desilucion
Cierto que esto es solo una parte uno representa todo lo que ofrece Xochimilco. Tenemos pensado volver y hacer una experiencia realmente cultural para apreciar el verdadero Xochimilco. Saludos 👋🏼
Thanks!
Ah thanks so much!! Salud! 🍻
Hi, What is the best time to visit? morning or maybe afternoon?
the mornings are a little quieter, I'd say early afternoon to evening are the best times
Thank you @@EatBailaTravel

Work on your financial independence, invest your earnings, and diversify. It is not an easy process, but it will give you the freedom to make your own choices and retire early.
Definitely working on that! Thank you 🙏🏽
