Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here
0:03
coming to you from the outskirts of San
0:06
Antonio right on the edge of the city
0:08
and I'm right here under
0:11
this a little painting of a guy trying
0:14
to get his donkey to move. In other
0:18
words, trying to get his you know what
0:22
in
0:23
gear. Profanatory phrase in gear. Three
0:27
letters. You figure it out. It's my
0:29
second channel, daily vlog
0:32
channel. It's the daily. Getting your
0:34
you know what in gear. And I'm getting
0:36
my you know what in gear as well here on
0:39
Guadalupe Street. A pretty fantastic
0:42
area decor with all kind of awesome tile
0:46
and paintings and wonderfulness right
0:49
here next to the
0:51
Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center on the
0:54
corner of Guadalupe Street and South
0:58
Brazos. I guess that's Brazos or Brazos.
1:02
B R A Z O S. So Google map that. Do a
1:06
satellite view. You can figure out
1:07
exactly where I am. I'm right underneath
1:10
this
1:12
marquee. Look at that right there.
1:19
Guadalupe. Some sort of theater of some
1:19
sort. Remember what I was saying about
1:21
the painted tiles? Pretty awesome
1:24
architecture they have out here. I
1:26
really like this building. Not only do
1:28
they have the tiles, but there's little
1:29
paintings that are coercely embedded in
1:33
the side of the tiles, like this, for
1:36
example. Pretty cool. I am now reaching
1:38
the point of my trip, which is my
1:40
favorite because once you get west of
1:42
San Antonio, you get in the desert. And
1:45
I love the desert cuz you find all kind
1:47
of fantastic things around the desert.
1:49
And I'm really excited about going from
1:51
this point, the San Antonio region
1:53
westbound. I'm going to veer off
1:55
Interstate 10 for a little bit. And I'm
1:57
going to go into the deserts of Texas.
1:59
I'm looking forward to the next day or
2:01
two. But right now, I want to show you
2:03
something amazing. Look at this little
2:05
courtyard area here. A courtyard of
2:07
wonderfulness. Look. Wow. Look at these
2:11
here. That is cool. Like little benches
2:14
that are
2:15
decored. Look at
2:21
this. Like some little jewels or
2:21
emeralds or diamonds. Not diamonds.
2:24
Almost like a marble
2:26
type on that
2:29
bench. And what exactly is this
2:32
courtyard that I'm standing? Well, I'm
2:33
going to show you something really
2:35
fantastic momentarily here on Guad Lupe
2:39
Street in San Antonio. And what I'm
2:42
referring to is
2:53
this. It is the world's largest mosaic
2:53
of the Virgin Mary right there. Four
2:56
stories tall. That is incredibly
3:00
awesome. Look at that. There's an
3:03
eternal flame that usually burns up
3:05
there. Can't really see the flame. It's
3:07
kind of overcast today. Hopefully, it's
3:09
burning. We're just going to vicariously
3:11
pretend that the flame is
3:19
burning. That is incredible. That's
3:19
right there. The world's largest candle
3:23
mosaic. Most mosaics are just paintings
3:26
on the side of a wall. This is a 3D
3:28
mosaic, meaning it's actually real. It
3:31
actually comes out. It's a massive
3:32
candle with the Virgin Mary right on the
3:35
side of
3:37
it. For those of you I can't talk. For
3:41
those of you who are not familiar with
3:43
this, a lot of religious connotations
3:45
obviously the city area, the street of
3:48
Guadalupe. This means a lot to them. So
3:50
they felt like building this and
3:52
dedicating this fourstory mural right
3:55
here protruding out of the wall.
3:58
Awesome. You ever go to the grocery
3:59
store? A lot of grocery stores, even if
4:01
you're not familiar with this, a lot of
4:03
aisles in the grocery store actually
4:04
sell these
4:05
candles, which is really awesome and
4:08
cool. So, you could probably relate to
4:09
that and you know exactly what this is
4:12
if you're not familiar with the Virgin
4:13
Mary. If you are familiar with the
4:15
Virgin Mary, there's even no need for me
4:17
to even try to explain the connotations
4:20
and the religious aspects of this. Wow,
4:22
look at these.
4:26
They have places set up for moments of
4:28
reflection and
4:30
peacefulness. And there are actually
4:31
some real candles. Here is an example of
4:34
the large candle. Yes. And then the
4:37
smaller candles right down here. Here's
4:40
a teeny tiny candle. Look at this.
4:43
Someone has placed this
4:45
here. Right inside of there is a candle.
4:48
A little bit of candle wax that has been
4:50
burnt. And then right down here are two
4:53
more two more candles.
4:55
right there. This is what I'm talking
4:57
about. You know, you can see these in
4:58
the stores. Some of you guys actually
5:00
might have some of these in your home as
5:03
well, but I bet you don't have a 40ft
5:06
one right above us. Right above us is a
5:07
40ft one of these. Right outside San
5:11
Antonio. So, if you're in the San
5:13
Antonio area, come check this out. This
5:16
is awesome. Cactuses. Remember what I
5:19
was saying about going in the desert?
5:21
Well, I'm going to be seeing a lot of
5:22
these and you will be seeing a lot of
5:24
these cuz you're going to be living
5:26
vicariously through me. Speaking of
5:28
cactuses, there's one on the wall right
5:30
there.
5:43
Awesome. This is pretty cool. I'm glad I
5:43
can travel around. I'm glad I can show
5:44
you guys this stuff. And I'm glad you
5:46
guys join me vicariously. I love that
5:49
word vicariously. If you want to help me
5:51
out on my travels, you can go to my
5:52
website. There's a donation link. Or
5:54
even better than that, if you don't feel
5:56
like donating to help fuel the woo, to
5:59
fuel my van. You can also do one other
6:00
thing. You can check down below for my
6:02
t-shirts. I make a small portion off the
6:05
money when you purchase a t-shirt. So,
6:07
if you want to help me out and you want
6:08
to get yourself a cool t-shirt, not this
6:11
t-shirt. This is a scarred t-shirt. You
6:13

6:17
band. That's him. Justin scarred right
6:20

6:21
t-shirts. You'll get one of my t-shirts.

6:31
Leave some comments down below as
6:33
well. Speaking of down below, hopefully
6:37
this does not have a connotation with
6:38
being down below. This is up above. The
6:41
Virgin Mary comes from above. But also
6:44
down below, you can check social
6:46
networks and get a hold of me. Twitter,
