What brought you to Mexico? Porque TE mudaste de Russia?

Qué sentimiento tan maravilloso ser tan bienvenido aquí. Nosotros también lo sabemos bien. Gracias por compartir esto con nosotros. Cuales tu plato favorito?

@@gloriaortiz1227 en el mundial de rusia en el 2018 me encontré a muchos aficionados mexicanos y me invitaron a visitar México🇲🇽 yo crei que solo estaria unas semanas en México pero al llegar a México me impresionó la ciudad de México que es muy grande e interesante con gastronomía exquisita y llena de museos muy interesantes pero yo buscaba algo más tranquilo y me hablaron de puebla llegué y me enamore de puebla❤ de sus tradiciones sus artesanías y su gastronomía, ya hasta me dicen la rusa más poblana👱‍♀️❤ lo cual me gusta y lo agradezco de corazón 🙏❤

@@alexandraibizevich3844 que interesante. Ahora necessitas encontrarte a un novio Mexicano 😅🙏

@@TheCountryCollectors hay todavia muchos platillos que no e probado ya que la gastronomía poblana es muy extensa pero una de mis comidas favoritas son el mole poblano, los chiles en nogada, las enchiladas, y dicen que los tacos al pastor fueron inventados en puebla no estoy muy segura pero si es así serían los tacos al pastor mi comida favorita 😍🌮❤

🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

@@TheCountryCollectors Gracias amigos, regresen a Queretaro.

That's exactly how I feel about the United States

@@antonytomas1the United States is not a dangerous country lol

@@shay3697 it’s horribly dangerous! Mass shootings weekly and kids murdered in schools. That’s just one crime and danger pulse point.

Thanks for sharing!

It’s such a beautiful country!!

I love your Dad jokes

It’s almost unbelievable!

Thank you so much! We appreciate you!

Eso realmente significa mucho para nosotros. Gracias por compartir su hogar con nosotros.

Hi Melissa! Oh that’s amazing glad we could bring back your fond memories!

Hey Gary! Haha 😂 he grew on me … I’m sure many people on here can say the same thing. He was on fire 🔥 with the puns. lol if he’s happy that’s all that matters! Thanks for being here and experiencing puebla with us Gary. Take care!!

Crazy huge!!

Aww Karen! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Quispe¿¿ isn´t that an andinean lastname¿

Haha Thank you so much! We won’t!!

Hey Cindy! Oh there’s so much to learn!

Oh wow very interesting thank you so much for sharing this with us.

lol yes they are definitely worth a try, that one was the best we had!

We really were blown away. It’s always a grateful feeling walking through history like that.

Hey Jenny! Haha thank you so much! Oh we do a lot a research!!

Ha ha "if it aint BAROQUE dont fix it" "unFROGetable" "everything happens for a RAISIN" you are a genius

Haha glad you enjoy it!!

It’s our pleasure! Thanks for being here!

lol 😂 thank you so much!

So glad we could bring back some memories!

Oh yes we spend a nice chunk of time making sure the subtitles are correct and then transfer them into 25 different languages!

@@TheCountryCollectors wow..you guys are pros, and it shows in your videos! What a great service you’re doing for those who can only armchair travel. Thankfully, that’s not me yet. I’m collecting all your videos and making a list. Puebla and Cholula just flew up the rankings:)

@@ltdodgen thank you so much! We appreciate you! We love to hear that we are inspiring people to visit new places and have adventures! Do you have an upcoming trip planned? 😃

It sure would seem that way but we haven’t even scratched the surface! There’s so much to it! Thanks for joining us!

Kind of hard. Mexico is a big country. It's the 14 largest country in the world.

Hi! Wow thank you so much for all of these thoughtful recommendations! We appreciate you. I wish we could make a little documentary in Chipilo by taking to the locals about their heritage but our Spanish is just not up to it. It’s very interesting that they have held on to their culture and continue to speak in the same dialect. Very nice. We are actually heading north to Zacatlan de Manzanas and hopefully Cuetzalan as well! Thanks again.

@@TheCountryCollectors that would be incredible. The locals are very nice and many will speak English, especially the younger ones. They will help you out discover more about their history and the language is even on the public signage and on the central piazza where the municipality and town theatre are located, next to the Italian church. Behind it is the Monte Grappa which is a little hill where they fought off rebels during the revolution. They have maintained a lot of their culture, and stick out since Puebla is mainly indigenous but adds to the diversity. There’s many other Italian “towns” which were formed as agricultural colonies all over Mexico and they keep in touch (in Veracruz there are two main ones for example in the towns of Gutierrez Zamora near Papantla which has been around since the 1850’s before Italy was even a country, and the one in Huatusco/Zentla called Colonia Manuel González which has bocce tournaments with Chipilo haha and Huatusco has many Italian restaurants and monuments too…the whole central/mountainous part of Veracruz has Italian roots because of this migration…my family is part of this but they went to work in the mines of Michoacán haha so different history! You find little towns like this all over Mexico, French towns, German towns, Japanese towns, etc…but Chipilo has been my favourite since they’ve retained a lot of their culture but also influenced much of the culinary culture in Puebla…probably the Italian restaurant you guys ate at was from a chipileño owner? The Italian Coffee Company (Mexican Starbucks) was started in Chipilo and you can still visit the old cafe in the central part of town…the whole central corridor is a culinary corridor! Highly recommended. It’s small, smells like cows (sign of good food) and the people are so nice and you can hear them speaking in their language from northern Italy which is so cool! If you guys are still in Puebla after Zacatlán, I do highly recommend it! The cheese is to die for here but the pizzas at Al Canton dell’Italian and the food at La Fontana…honestly…it’s a great place to just have breakfast, lunch and dinner and as many gelato breaks as possible haha

Gosh it’s all absolutely fascinating! Thank you so much again for this info! Yes if we come back down this way we will for sure check it out. Thank you!!

What a fun little road!

Good morning Araf!! Thanks so much for joining us. Oh man imaging editing it lol I’m always hungry!

There's a guy called Mark Wiens idk if you guys know him, he travels the world for food... Adam should join him lol he even has t shirts that say "I TRAVEL FOR FOOD" LOL. and you guys should see his reactions when he tries the Mexican food lol, Priceless!. You guys brought me memories of the TAPO bus station because that's where we as children user to arrive when traveling from Villahermosa to CDMX to visit my grandma and family.

Agree! What a thing to see. Added to my list!

Thank you so much! Sure can!

Buenos días ☀️ we can see why! Puebla is a very nice place!

We love that! Thanks for always sharing this with us.

I think there’s a place you can go skiing here too!! Mexico is always surprising us!

Why the constant of many people is to believe that in Mexico there is no such thing?

yes, it snows in México specially in the half north forests in mountains in winter kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mcCpa5ObyL_Pj2Q.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eriUgLuBtd_OoYU.html

Muchas Gracias!!

Me hubiera gustado conocelos en persona. Espero regresen.

Incredible history and architecture here!

Hope you have a wonderful time!

It’s our pleasure thank you for joining us!

Oh we spent over 3 weeks total in the state - probably 10 days in the city I just meant the video was shot over 2 days!

Gracias por compartir!!

@@TheCountryCollectors si de echo pienso pronto compartir con las personas que estoy conociendo aquí en West Virginia donde estoy viviendo desdé hace 6 meses

💕💕💕💕 Sending you lots of love

Good morning Tammy!!

Hey Spencer!! Thank you so much! Happy to see you here.

@@TheCountryCollectors no problem, I love travel

Thank you so much for your feedback! We appreciate it’

Haha he was on fire 🔥 Thanks for being here!

Haha now that little tune is going to be stuck in my head now! Every time we go to a new one that’s what I’m going to sing! I love it!

Zocalo means socket; a construction socket or a base to build on to on.

Thank you so much for being here!

Gracias Diego!

@@TheCountryCollectors A USTEDES POR VISITAR PUEBLA SALUDOS AMIGOS

Aww that almost brought me to tears! I love that you get that feeling because it is exactly what we hope for! 💕

It is our pleasure!

Our pleasure!

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing! Yes we plan to visit Michoacán later in the year.

@@TheCountryCollectors day of the death is a good time to be there… but it gets very crowded and finding accommodations may be challenging. Let me know if you want some recommendations in what and where to eat so I can ask my friends that live there.

We appreciate you!

We appreciate it! Thank you!

Oh that’s awesome!

Thank you so much!!

Hi! Oh wow that is great! Here beer is king. It is what most locals drink. Mezcal in Oaxaca and tequila too. They drink a lot of Ricos raspados which are shaved ice beverages and in Oaxaca we would drink tejate, a prehispanic drink made from corn.

@@TheCountryCollectors Cool. Thanks so much for the reply. I will be watching more of your installments the closer we get to our vacation. I will check out as many of the local beverages as my liver will allow..... Keep up the awesome videos and thanks again. Be safe and have a great time down there!

Hi Julia! Oh that’s awesome! It’s our pleasure!

Villahermosa, Tabasco correct? We went there but unfortunately had a not so great experience but the beaches and islands sound awesome and I’m sure if we had a local like your bf to show us around we would enjoy it for sure! Would love to check those places out if we get back there!

We hope you enjoy it to the max!

@@TheCountryCollectors Thanks, and thanks to you, I will!

It sure is!! That’s awesome!

It’s our absolute pleasure!

Thanks so much for watching!

Wow 🤩 how incredible. It’s such a beautiful country thank you for sharing it with us.

Haha 😂 oh man!! It sure was ribbiting! 🐸

Thanks 🙏 so much!!

Muchas gracias!! 💕💕💕

Have a great time!

Thank you so much for being here!

So cute!

Haha 😂 we won’t!! We want to make you smile!

😍 Thank you!! This one took all week to make, it was a lot! But so glad it came across well!

Muchas gracias! Oh, sí, vamos a ir un poco al norte a un par de lugares en Puebla y luego a Veracruz! 🇲🇽

@@TheCountryCollectors I highly recommend. Orizaba Veracruz. The best coffee plantations. World wide. Cafe parroquia in the port of Veracruz

@@angelherrera8077 we are so excited for that!

Hey! Yes now you pay 20 pesos but I think that is fair too. Aww yeah we had some that were really dry too. Not so good . Prefer tacos Al pastor all day!

Hi Paul and Gloria! Thank you so much! Oh that’s great. We’ve enjoyed both places a lot. What a beautiful area here in Puebla. Did you ever make it north to Zacatlan de Manzanas or Cuetzalan?

Answering your question, I never made it to those magic towns. I was in Puebla/Cholula 50+ years ago and I washed a student. I had just gotten back from Vietnam in 1969 and my life was very different then. Of course, Mexico was very different then too. Someday we may make it, but for now we're huddled at home in Oaxaca.

Thank you so much for your support!! We appreciate you!

Neither did we! We were blown away by them! So neat!

Oh yeah sorry we missed you! Have a wonderful time!

Hi Nancy! I don’t think we’ve had a bad meal on film days because I tend to do my research but we absolutely have on the other days of the week!

@@TheCountryCollectors good to know! You must spend a lot of time on the research because you give great info and advice! Thank you 😊

@@nancysantamaria3924 oh yes the planning takes me at least a days work!

👍

Thank you so much Casey!

Aww 🥰 thank you for your kind words!!

So are we! Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you so much!

❤️🙏

Thank you so much Banshan! How are you today?

@@TheCountryCollectors I'm doing great, thank you

Yes we did. Thanks!

Thank you!

You’re right! Puebla has some great food options!

Hey! That’s a good idea. Others have asked that too but it seems we’re just more attracted to the historic parts of the cities. I’m sure you could find videos from these parts on other channels right? Will keep this in mind, thanks.

It’s our pleasure. You know we love having you along!

That’s okay! Happy to have you here whenever you make it by!

Thank you so much for your recommendations!

Thank you so much!
