    Can we just hand it to Louis for how calm he remains while driving this beautiful beast.

    I always find it so cool and fascinating when you bump into fellow school bus or van life travellers on the way. Such a fun interaction. Long time viewer, first time commenting just wanna say have been loving the vlogs, the production value never ceases to amaze me. I can always see how much care goes into the edit. Cannot wait for the Wedding vlog!

    Wow! I cannot believe this! I have two daughters, and their dad and his family are from La Cienega, de Zimatlán, Oaxaca. It’s about a 15 min drive from Oaxaca City. In 2010, the father of my girls (who were 3 months and 18 months old at the time) was deported from Oklahoma to his home in Oaxaca. A few months later, I put everything we owned into storage, and the girls and I made the long drive to his family’s home in Oaxaca. We lived there for over 4 months, but ultimately, my daughters and I had to return to America. The ultimate goal, was to try and get him back to the US with us, but it didn’t work out. I miss the beauty of that part of the world SO MUCH (I could I go on and on). I think it’s incredible that this is y’all’s favorite city in Mexico! We haven’t been back since, and the girls’ dad never came back to America (long story). Now that they are older (13 and 14), I want so badly to take them to see that part of the world, and to meet their dad and their paternal side of the family. ❤
    I loved this video!

    Oaxaca is one of the most beautiful places we have in Mexico, my favorite state for sure. All the state, the little towns, the big cities, the beaches, everything is amazing, it's a place with great culture, great history, pre and post colonial, I'm so glad you enjoyed it

    Love Louis’ outfit he purchased in Oaxaca. Raya, I think a 2 piece set (crop top and high-waisted skirt) would be so gorgeous on you for your wedding. I know you’ll KNOW when you’ve found the right outfit either way. Please be safe on your journey to your new home! 💛

    Raya & Louis, I have been a huge fan of your channel and loved your honest journey that you always share with us. Last week when I saw that nightmare of an ordeal that you both went through, my heart went out for you. I was so so so nervous for Raya while Louis was in custody. I could NOT even imagine the state of her mind - fear, anxiety, nervous & scared in a new place. I am so so GLAD to see this video. This video is a cuddle to the heart after last week's ordeal you both went through. So glad to see you both bouncing out of it and enjoying the city of Oaxaca.
    Love the outfit Louis picked up. Raya, love love love that halter neck yellow dress you had tried on. Hope you got it for yourself. Wishing you both a safe, peaceful & happy rest of your drive back to your home in Costa Rica!! Love and big tight hugs to both of you!!!

    Oaxaca is a shopping paradise. The city is famous for its hand-carved wooden figurines, that you saw at one of the markets. One of the more popular characters is a mythical figure known as a dreamcatcher in which you pull out its spiny appendages and make a wish.
