Mexican cities are like European cities in the sense that their history goes so far back and there are so many interesting urban layers. Those city tunnels are truly fascinating!
My spouse and I have visited Puebla twice. It is close enough to Mexico City that one can easily do an overnight (or more). You guys did a great job highlighting what makes the place so enticing. We didn’t stop there in our recent two months slow travel through Mexico and your video made me sentimentally smile in appreciation of the good times we have had there.
Really enjoying my “armchair travels“ with you guys - taking notes for future Mexico itineraries, and I love how colorful it is everywhere! Growing up in Europe, my parents taught me to enjoy the local “flair” instead of just rushing around to see everything on a tourist checklist. So although you said 3 days are sufficient in Puebla, spending a few extra days just to relax and wander around is a great idea (if you have the time). Thank you for yet another fun and helpful video.
I was planning to go to Oaxaca or Mexico in late March next year. Now you have my wheels spinning. I didn't realize from Oaxaca to Puebla to Mexico City was so close. I would have about a week and a half, so I might fly into Oaxaca and then fly out of Mexico City! Definitely something to think about!
I love Puebla! It's an underappreciated gem (and the home of Cinco de Mayo). Those rolled tacos are Tacos al Arabe, originally influenced by the Middle East. I was there earlier this year (got Camotes for my grandkids) and plan to go back next year for a few months to work on my Spanish (there are a couple of excellent Spanish schools there). The climate there is generally nice year round and it's only a 2 hour bus ride from the Mexico City airport. Glad you got to go and appreciated the video.
The trying of the treats at breakfast with the small bottle: Carrie: "Do you want to try this?" Brian: Shrugs and looks at the camera with an "Of course" look. Then earlier on cookies Carrie: "It tastes like a Christmas sugar cookie". Brian with zero hesitation "I love sugar cookies!" Too funny. As always so very informative. You are so well connected and interact so well. We can all learn from you two being together. Thanks guys!
I have been traveling this area for many years now, there is so much to see and learn! Also other amazing areas are just minutes away, such a Cholula, Atlixco, and San Martin Texmelucan. Also the Volcano is visible from many of those areas. I love the Historical Center of Puebla as well as the Largest Malls in Mexico nearby... You have Costco, and many other well known stores.
I was just about to guess it was eggnog liqueur you both sampled! Or, at least tasted like it. Yum! The city of Puebla is absolutely beautiful! It reminds me of Europe! Thanks for a lovely tour of this historical place!
Thank you for your videos. We look forward to following in your footsteps and hopefully meeting up with you sometime. I love that you answer everyone's questions. It is so helpful and encouraging. Happy Travels!!😊
I am glad you're having a good time in Puebla,looking forward to seeing your upcoming video from Cholula(it's believed that only in Cholula,there are 365 churches which means,you can visit a different one every day for the whole year ,cheers!
Binge watching the two destination videos on this semi quiet Sunday. Love Puebla ❤️ The 14:46 Chile enogada... yummy. The museums and galleries hours of of entertainment. 😮 The architecture is just incredible. Plus all those restaurants, cafés, semi hidden inside those beautiful buildings down the side streets. 😊👍 Getting ready for the hurricane 🌀 🤪 as long as Waffle house doesn't close we should be ok.😅OK.
Ugh!! My daughter lives in St Pete!! They have a short-term rental in Tennessee, so they are heading north! We appreciate your continued support!! BE SAFE!!!
I was in Puebla for Cinco de Mayo, the only place in Mexico that Ci😢nco de Mayo is recognized. That park above the tunnels is incerdible. The oldest library is so fascinating, so old.
Great video. I've lived in Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia over past 7 years. Take a look into visiiting the Sumidero Canyon outside of Tuxla, Gutierrez. It's the most amazing spot in the country. You can get cheap flights from Mexico CIty or Guadalajara with Viva. Stay in San Cristobol then Comitan. Visit "El Chilflon" outside of Comitan (one of the most beatiful waterfalls in the Americas). Slow pace it to Merida. Have a great time.
Looks amazing! You’ve hit two of the cities that I’ll be staying in when I’m there. Now, if you could please just go to: San Luis Potosí, Xalapa, Guadalajara, Mazatlan and Mazunte I won’t have to do any research at all😂 Safe travels👏🏻👍🏻✌🏻🤙🏻🍻
Hi...I've never been anywhere in Mexico, except border towns. Looking to spend January (ish) in Mexico City or some other tourist spot. Do you know if any of them have good, inexpensive dental care for english speakers? Great videos, thanks :)
Slightly...we have had some issues recently with month long rentals so decided to move about every two weeks. We will be doing a video later this year with an update on how its working for us. Thank you for watching!! 😊
We have very much enjoyed our time here in Mexico! The people have been very friendly and welcoming to us. We will be in Mexico for another 6 weeks, but we plan on coming back as early as 2025!! 😁 Thank you for watching our videos!!
Puebla looked pretty flat in your videos. What was your opinion on the ease of walking around for those with mobility issues? Thanks for the video. Puebla looks like a great place to visit.
Pronounce it as Caye del doolse Both Es like in Echo. Ce and Ci sound like in celebrity and circus. The bookies are "Tortitas de Santa Clara". Csmotes are the ones that are long (sausage shape). The eggnog is called "rompope". Originally it was made by nuns.
Thanks for curing me of any guilt I might have had sitting down for my first meal of the day: a wine-and-cheetos party! I wonder if you've ever thought of being art buyers and selling them to a store somewhere near your home... that could be a fun way to supplement your income maybe? Really enjoyed the video:)
Mexican cities are like European cities in the sense that their history goes so far back and there are so many interesting urban layers. Those city tunnels are truly fascinating!
That is a good observation! We are loving the everything about Mexico!
Que chula es Puebla, que Linda es Puebla. I love to see my hometown city being appreciated for people around the world.
Your city is beautiful and incredibly welcoming!! Thank you so much!! ❤️
Thank you for showing the beautifull city, dome parts of the city reminds me of Barcelona Spain.
It's amazing how many places around the world share similar architectural styles!
I am from Puebla. Loved this video! Made me remember my high school years :D

We agree with your parents. As a tourist, 3 days is enough time, but enjoying the moment takes a few extra. Thank you for watching and commenting!! 😊
So happy you went to Puebla. One of my favorite cities that we really enjoy coming back to.
We really enjoyed Puebla. Plenty to do and see, the food and street markets kept us busy. Thank you for watching, Anthony! 😊

I would have about a week and a half, so I might fly into Oaxaca and then fly out of Mexico City! Definitely something to think about!
We started in Oaxaca and took buses to Puebla and Mexico City. It was 5 hours to Puebla and only 2 to Mexico City. 😊
@@BrianandCarrie which bus company need y’all use?
It was Ado. We will have a video of our bus experience next month.
@@BrianandCarrie That isn't bad at all!
@BrianandCarrie Look forward to seeing your Ado adventure. I have used Ado from Cancun to Playa Del Carmen, and it was a great experience.

Always enjoy your videos! Lots of good info and your informal style is very appealing. Thanks so much!
Thank you, Gilbert!! 😊
If/when you visit Cholula, there’s a nice jazz club called Jazzatlan. Great cocktails and entertainment, pretty good food too!
Thank you for the tip!! We did make our way to Cholula but missed the Jazzatlan. 😔
great video guys thanks
Thank you!! ❤️
Love how yall were sitting on the sidewalk munching out. Cute.
Thank you!! 😁❤️
Looks amazing!! ❤️ I’m adding this town to my bucket list. As far as the e-sim, do your phones need to be unblocked to use them?
I am glad you're having a good time in Puebla,looking forward to seeing your upcoming video from Cholula(it's believed that only in Cholula,there are 365 churches which means,you can visit a different one every day for the whole year ,cheers!
We did not know that!! Great trivia question!! 😁 Thank you for watching!!

Thank you for mentioning the accessibility in places.
Of course!! Thank you for watching!! 😊

Yes, we always thought Cinco de Mayo was Mexican Independence Day! The things we learn when we travel!! 😊
Visit Angelopolis, the city of the angels in Puebla too
Great video. I've lived in Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia over past 7 years. Take a look into visiiting the Sumidero Canyon outside of Tuxla, Gutierrez. It's the most amazing spot in the country.

Thank you, Paul! We are learning that we will scratch the surface of places to visit in Mexico. We will have to do a return trip or two!
Sure hope y’all don’t skip Mexico City, especially the La Condesa neighborhood. Such a cool vibe.
We are currently in Mexico City and enjoying Condese!! 😁
The “ll” in Spanish has y sound calle (kiyeah) Spanish dict app gives pronunciation and easy to use. If in doubt check it out.
Thank you!! 😊
Zócalo
Spanish with Qroo Paul Spanish master class lesson 1 on UA-cam is a good place to get some basics quick
Fun following your itinerary! (even though our next year and probably 2026 too don't yet include Mexico)
We appreciate that you are watching!! 😁 Thank you!!
Looks amazing! You’ve hit two of the cities that I’ll be staying in when I’m there. Now, if you could please just go to: San Luis Potosí,
Xalapa, Guadalajara, Mazatlan and Mazunte I won’t have to do any research at all😂 Safe travels👏🏻👍🏻✌🏻🤙🏻🍻
Well, at least we hit the two! 😁 We will be heading to Mexico City, San Migual and Merida over the next two months.
It would be unforgivable not to visit the forts of Loreto and Guadalupe where the battle of May 5, 1862 against the French army took place.
Thank you for the tip, Daniel!
I ❤️ Mexico. So great that you’re showing different cities and cultures. Too many Yankees go only for the beaches (also beautiful, of course.)
We may be those Yankees next spring, Joyce! 🤣 We are very much enjoying Central Mexico and glad we decided to skip the beaches for now.
Hi. Nice video. Did you move to Puebla? If you did, from where?
We slow travel the world staying in each place a couple of weeks at a time. We are from Bellingham WA. USA.
Hi...I've never been anywhere in Mexico, except border towns. Looking to spend January (ish) in Mexico City or some other tourist spot. Do you know if any of them have good, inexpensive dental care for english speakers? Great videos, thanks :)
Cancun is a great place for affordable health care.
If you had to only pick one to visit, which would it be, Oaxaca or Puebla? Thank you!
We would choose Oaxaca!!
@@BrianandCarrie thanks a ton!
I'm from Mexico city
I like white people
And I want go to England
Hi guys, you must visit MIB (International Museum of Barroco) in the modern Puebla City zone you will not repent
We missed it! 😔 Thank you for posting so others won't!!
How did you get from Oaxaca to Pueblo?
We took a bus. We will be doing a video next month on how that works and how it went.
Has your travel moved from slow travel to fast travel.
Slightly...we have had some issues recently with month long rentals so decided to move about every two weeks. We will be doing a video later this year with an update on how its working for us. Thank you for watching!! 😊

Thank you for watching our videos!!
Lots of shots of prices show $ - was this MXN ??? eg $85 (actually MXN 85 = USD 4.35?
YOu're both looking well. Take care
All our prices are in USD.
Thank you!! 🙂
I thought you were staying in Oaxaca (City?/State?) for 2.5 months? Did you change your plans?
We will be in Mexico for 2.5 months. We started in Oaxaca and finish in Merida. 😊
Puebla looked pretty flat in your videos. What was your opinion on the ease of walking around for those with mobility issues?
Thanks for the video. Puebla looks like a great place to visit.
Puebla is very easy to walk around. Everything is relatively close, and the sidewalks are well maintained. You won't have any problems. 😊
@@BrianandCarrie I love how you include solo travelers and travelers with physical issues. Thanks for all you do.
❤❤❤❤❤
😁❤️
Pronounce it as Caye del doolse Both Es like in Echo. Ce and Ci sound like in celebrity and circus.
The bookies are "Tortitas de Santa Clara". Csmotes are the ones that are long (sausage shape). The eggnog is called "rompope". Originally it was made by nuns.
I'm so glad I don't have a sweet tooth! imagine two months in a place like that !
It was difficult, trust me!! 😁
And do u like the food and how the people treating u
Thanks for curing me of any guilt I might have had sitting down for my first meal of the day: a wine-and-cheetos party! I wonder if you've ever thought of being art buyers and selling them to a store somewhere near your home... that could be a fun way to supplement your income maybe? Really enjoyed the video:)
We see things all the time that we wish we could buy. We just don't have any way of getting anything back to our hometown. It is a great idea!!
Do u like living in Mexico
Gusikowski Island
Pooh- eh- blah= Puebla
Why are you pronouncing "dulce" like it's Italian?
🤣🤣
Carrie, you are looking like a Golden Goddess!
