    Wow Xochimilco! Saludos to Martin's mom!! Juliana's Spanish gets an A+!! That Sope with Nopal looked delicious! Im surprised nopal hasnt caught on as a healthy trend up here being so nutritious. Xochimilco has always been on my CDMX list. Ive always been interested in its sustainable farms and the infamous island of the dolls! Great vid! "Like"

    Oh shucks, thank you!!! I studied it throughout high school and minored in spanish in college. I had the chance to study abroad in chile and mexico as well, and that probably helped me the most to learn!

    I loved this! It would’ve been nice to see the process of getting there, I’ve heard that people will try to tell you certain ports are closed and try to redirect your car. It’s just me and my husband and I always saw this as a group activity but I feel like if we just go earlier in the day like you guys did we would love it!

    If it’s just you two, going earlier is going to be perfect! Martin and I did that the first time I went and it was perfect. Set your Uber drop off to Nativitas Embarcadero - you won’t run into any problems going to that port :) thanks for the support as always!!

    I watched your KZread video. Your every video is really awesome. But your channel and your videos expect more views and subs. I analyzing Your KZread channel and I found properly KZread video SEO is not done. This is why your video is not going viral and views are not increasing.
