Today's adventure begins as a recording
0:02
of a Saturday, May the 10th, 2025. Today
0:07
in Mexico, it's Mother's Day. Now,
0:09
tomorrow, as I'm filming this, it'll be
0:11
Mother's Day in the US, but here in
0:18
Mexico, it's today. That's why all the
0:18
stuff set up in front of the cathedral
0:21
here. Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo
0:23
here. Say hello to
0:25
Louise. Hi. local resident for 37 years,
0:29
you said. Yes. Yes. And I I was going to
0:32
get Starbucks and you said, "Let me take
0:34
you to a place that has proper like a
0:37
Mexican Starbucks." Proper Mexican
0:38
coffee. What's the name of the place we
0:39
went to? Celito Cafe. Okay. So, we're
0:43
going to go to a huge park, a castle,
0:48
and the church from Romeo and Juliet by
0:50
subway. By the subway. See, I didn't
0:53
really I didn't really go into the
0:54
subway the last couple days, but then
0:56
you said, "Let's try the subway." So,
0:58
you know, a little bit more about the
0:59
general layout of the land, so I'll feel
1:01
more comfortable on the subway with you.
1:02
Yes, for sure. We'll we'll check out
1:04
some other stuff. Watch, Adam. Well,
1:07
you're in Mexico City. You're going to
1:08
You're going to have my back? Yes. All
1:09
right. All right. I'm inviting you to
1:11
join me and Luis here in Mexico City.
1:15
Shall we? You nailed it. All right.
1:19
Going into the depths of the subway.
1:22
So, there's another subway platform over
1:24
by where they have the stage set up for
1:26
the concert later. That one's closed
1:29
because of the event. So, we had to walk
1:30
over here to this
1:39
one. Change of line. And Selena's exit.
1:39
Yes. Did I pronounce that right? Selena.
1:42
Selena. Selena.
1:44
So, we got to do another connection.
1:46
Yes.
1:51
Yeah, you can
1:51
see. So we were we were right here. So
1:56
then we we get there. Now
1:58
we So we can
2:00
go and this is where the church place.
2:04
Exactly. And maybe then we can take down
2:07
here and go back here and then we go
2:10
to Excellent.
2:23
That's different. There are tires. It's
2:24
not on the rails. It's like between the
2:25
rails.
2:31
I think there are It's electric. So, but
2:31
they have those to just to make the the
2:34
train. Yeah.
2:47
Door closed on me.
2:47
They're
2:48
handcrafted.
3:02
handmade. Louise gave me this magnet.
3:02
He wanted to show me that doll. That way
3:03
I know what it is. So, this is something
3:06
that's specifically Mexico,
3:09
like handcrafted in Mexico from the from
3:11
the street vendors.
3:14
I got a little magnet version that's on
3:16
my little cabinets there. Nice. Very
3:17
typical indigenous tradition. Okay.
3:25
Are they still in use? Yes. So, a little
3:25
police
3:27
substation. Very retro looking. So,
3:29
there's little alarms up there. They're
3:31
are panic alarms. You can press on the
3:33
any of these power poles, but these are
3:35
also multi-use. They're used for the
3:37
earthquakes they have. There'll be a
3:40
minute. You said a minute warning. Yeah.
3:42
Approximately 40 seconds or minute and a
3:44
half. It depends. Yeah. Because the the
3:46
earthquakes start in the Pacific coast.
3:49
So, it takes about a minute for the
3:52
earthquake to come to Mexico City. So,
3:54
they could they could give you a warning
3:55
that that could save your life. A minute
3:57
could save your life.
3:58
So you just got to get down off lower
4:00
levels or get out from under down out
4:02
down out from underneath anything that
4:04
might fall in your head and stuff,
4:06
right? That would be scary when it must
4:08
be pretty startling. It would be for me
4:11
anyway. It is. All trees around here are
4:13
not doing very well cuz these are not
4:15
native to Mexico.
4:18
Mexico City are not native to Mexico
4:20
City. Okay.
4:30
Yeah. It's funny because a lot of people
4:30
say, "Oh, I love pantries in Mexico
4:32
City." Yeah. But they're not from here.
4:35
They're from other parts of the country.
4:37
Mexico City essential. So, it's a truck.
4:39
They're buying
4:41
Are They're just buying people stuff.
4:43
Yeah. They're saying mattresses,
4:45
refrigerators,
4:48
ovens. So, if I had an oven, they would
4:50
buy it from me.
4:58
Shakaronda
4:58
trees just missed the blooms there with
5:01
all the
5:03
purple just out of
5:07
season. So about what a month ago these
5:09
would have been fully fully purple. Yes.
5:11
And they just last for like a couple of
5:13
months from February to April or March
5:15
or April. It's like the cherry blossoms
5:18
in South Korea. Exactly. And those are
5:20
also introduced. They are not native
5:21
from Mexico. They are Brazilian I think.
5:24
Oh. So a Mexican president wanted
5:26
something like the cherry blossoms. But
5:29
a botanist told him no we cannot do
5:31
those but we can do hakarandas from
5:32
Brazil. Back in 1996 a movie came out.
5:35
Sorry. Claire Danes and Leonardo
5:37
DiCaprio. Romeo and Juliet. The same
5:40
director that directed the movie that
5:42
came out a couple years ago about Elvis
5:44
directed it. It was not filmed in Verona
5:46
which is my fair Verona. parts of it or
5:49
majority of it was filmed in Mexico City
5:52
and the rest of the country as well. But
5:54
this church right here is the church
5:58
from that movie
6:00
1996. Really enjoyed that film. This is
6:03
where Romeo and Juliet had their secret
6:06
wedding. It's also where later on Leo
6:10
playing Romeo ran up those stairs,
6:13
grabbed the one
6:14
priest. The officers were charging up
6:16
there. a very famous photo of him
6:18
grabbing the guy with the weapon. And
6:21
this is really the top sculpture
6:24
there. I'm guessing that's the Virgin
6:27
Mary up on top of the church. You can
6:28
see that multiple times in the film, the
6:30
helicopter zooming around the top of the
6:32
church itself. That is incredible. I
6:35
didn't even realize this was filmed here
6:36
until a few days ago. I was like, I have
6:38
to go check that out. So, we're going to
6:40
You think the church might be open? Yes,
6:42
I think so. Yeah, I saw someone came
6:44
that came out. So that's that's where
6:45
the end of the end of the film, the the
6:47
the dramatic ending. I don't want to
6:48
give too many spoilers, but if you don't
6:50
know about the story of Romeo and
6:51
Juliet, then you should probably know by
6:53
now, but that's where so that's where
6:55
the wedding was. And it's also where
6:56
both of them ended their life inside
6:58
this very church building film. Romeo,
7:01
played by Leo, runs right past this
7:03
trash pile right here. Like he literally
7:06
runs right past this around this way
7:10
that past that store. Also earlier in
7:12
the movie, he drives up his car right
7:15
here. There's a helicopter view looking
7:17
down as he goes up the top of this and
7:19
goes in. And the church is open. We're
7:22
going to be able to go
7:23
inside. Yeah. The iconic photo or the
7:26
iconic scene where he's got the guy kind
7:28
of grabbing by the by the by the
7:30
shoulder and he's pulling him up is
7:32
right here. And then when he goes in to
7:34
discover Juliet, which he thinks has
7:36
passed away, but really she's like
7:37
slumbering and she's going to wake up.
7:39
And then he takes the poison, all that.
7:41
You can see these sacred hearts right
7:42
here behind DiCaprio when he walks in
7:45
this very door and shuts the door behind
7:47
him, sticks the gun out and is firing up
7:50
firing up the helicopters that are
7:52
circling around right here. These are
7:53
the actual stairs
7:55
from from Romeo and Juliet 1996. Here
7:58
you go. There he is running right past
7:59
the pole and that tree right
8:03
there. That is so neat. And then the
8:06
stairs which are right here when they're
8:08
kind of like zooming in. He's right
8:09
there in the middle of the stairs. I'm
8:12
kind of losing it right now. This is
8:13
awesome. So, not going to go in the same
8:15
door he walked in, but the one side door
8:17
here. So, right here is that moment
8:19
where he's got the guy up against this.
8:21
This door is
8:22
closed. That photo right
8:30
there.
8:30
Wow. Let's go
8:38
in. Oh my gosh. This is it. It's the
8:38
Romeo and Juliet church. This is where
8:40
they got married. This is where she
8:42
walks down, sees Leo at the
8:45
end. The murals all still look the same
8:47
in here, too. And up at the very, very
8:50
end is where they where they passed
8:54
away.
8:56
Unbelievable. What the heck? Right
8:59
there. Right
9:01
there. Right there where those stairs
9:03
are.
9:11
still looks exactly the same. Exactly
9:11
the same.
9:13
It was used three, I think, three times
9:15
in the
9:17
film. You really see this one during the
9:20
wedding when they're choir boys are
9:21
singing the song as they're walking in.
9:23
But take a look here. This is also on
9:24
the staircase. Right there in the middle
9:26
is where Juliet was laid in the bed and
9:28
then she awakes and she realized that
9:30
Romeo took the poison. It was right
9:32
there where that where that little
9:35
stairs is right there in that same spot.
9:37
Yeah. When they got married. So Juliet's
9:40
walking down this aisle. Claire
9:44
Danes sees Leo standing right up
9:48
here. This is insane to me that this is
9:52
the spot from 96 Romeo and Juliet where
9:55
they where they were right here in this
9:58
very very
10:00
spot. Oh my gosh. Right here.
10:04
Look at
10:06
this.
10:08
So Claire Daines was there. Leo was just
10:12
below her. Leo's foot was right here.
10:15
And there was an
10:17
aerial crane shot going
10:25
up.
10:25
Wow. Wow. Here's Fair Juliet right
10:31
What a great modernday rendition of that
10:34
classic. Unbelievable. So, yeah, look at
10:37
this. So, they had a crane up, but look
10:40
over here. There's that pillar. Not the
10:42
pillar, but the marble siding to the
10:45
stairs. There's the other siding to the
10:48
stairs. And there they lay right there.
10:51
Tragic love.
11:06
Unbelievable. I mean, I'm a movie nerd,
11:06
so come on. And during that wedding
11:08
scene, this is the where she walked down
11:10
the aisle. That's where the alter boys
11:12
are singing the song, right up there.
11:23
So for those who have not seen the
11:23
film, I I would say I would recommend
11:26
it. I mean it is a modernday
11:34
take on it, but modern day. It came out
11:34
in 96. So that's been what 28 years ago.
11:37
20 My gosh. 29 years
11:40
ago. But right in here. So Leo walks up
11:44
after all the altercation out front,
11:46
barricades himself inside the chapel,
11:49
comes up here where they got married. So
11:51
in the same spot they got married. Well,
11:53
a few feet away they got married. Right
11:54
here is where he sees Juliet. Assumed
11:57
she had passed away, but in reality she
12:00
had taken like a sleeping type of
12:03
potion, not potion, but a sleeping
12:04
medicine that made her family and others
12:07
assumed she was gone. Leo did not know
12:09
that. So he shows up. He is mourning and
12:12
weeping his new
12:14
bride and decides he does not want he's
12:17
going to take some poison and join her.
12:19
And then she awakes as he takes takes it
12:22
and then it all ensues right
12:26
here. Spoiler
12:29
alert. You could watch the clip online.
12:31
There's plenty of clips online. I'm
12:32
always enamored by these beautiful
12:34
Catholic cathedrals.
12:36
But when it's like one of the movies
12:38
that you really enjoy and kind of grew
12:39
up with and you're in the spot, just
12:42
seeing how dramatic that was, it really
12:44
kind of just is an extra added thing.
12:48
Look at the
13:21
This is definitely a spot I never
13:21
thought I would see with my own
13:37
Amazing. Remember when that movie came
13:39
out? I had it on VHS. Watch it all the
13:47
time. Pre-DVDs. I think it might have
13:47
been on DVD, but I still had
13:49
a the VCR at those times that came out.
13:53
So, I had it on
13:55
VHS. All
14:13
right. Grabbed an Uber. Just got dropped
14:13
off
14:15
here. Was quicker to do that or easier
14:18
to do that than take the subway.
14:21
Now we're going to check
14:23
out the castle which is over here in
14:26
this
14:27
area. The fungus festival.
14:31
There's a fungus festival happening
14:32
right now.
14:47
So you're not allowed to smoke weed
14:47
except in these like exclusive spots?
14:50
Yes. spots over tolerance. Occupied
14:53
occupied spots. Occupied spots. That's
14:55
what everyone under the tree is doing
14:56
over
14:58
there. Interested over in the
15:04
shade. All right. End up getting a w
15:04
couple waters. So you said this bill is
15:07
kind of a rare bill. Yeah, it's because
15:09
it's it's beautiful. You see? So it has
15:11
the aalote in it. It's a native species
15:15
of Soimo canals. Yeah. And this bill won
15:19
the award for the most beautiful bill in
15:21
the past years. So it's sometimes it's
15:23
difficult to come across them because
15:25
people tend to keep them. So maybe you
15:27
can. So she gave me back that as change.
15:29
So I should hang on to that one for
15:30
sure.
15:32
And I also got this 100. This would not
15:35
This one's probably not as rare. Yeah,
15:36
it isn't. But that is the Monara
15:38
butterfly. I'm trying not to get my
15:40
lollipop in my in the shot. But yeah.
15:44
All right, let's go see some fungus.
15:45
Yeah, for sure.
15:52
the in the way they they die. So they
15:52
migrate all the way from Canada. All the
15:54
way from Canada. So you can find them in
15:55
Canada and in Mexico in in the colder
15:57
season. So like birds, they fly the
15:59
whole way from Canada to here. Yes. Wow.
16:03
Monarch. The monarch. Monarch
16:05
butterflies. It's hard to talk with this
16:07
sucker in my mouth.
16:15
We're going to go up the side of the
16:15
hill, but there's a sculpture here. The
16:16
defenders of the nation, 1846 to
16:21
1847. A stage here with the sculpture
16:25
there in the middle. Got the side of
16:26
this little hill to the chapel. The park
16:29
is called Chapel Topek. Yes, the park is
16:33
and the castle. It means hill of the
16:36
grasshopper. That's right. Hill of the
16:38
grasshopper. in now the language of the
16:41
mishikas or the astics.
16:43
Are there are there a lot of
16:44
grasshoppers here? Maybe more squirrels.
16:47
I think more squirrels.
16:56
Nice little gazebo here.
16:56
The monkeys. Yeah. And the people buy
16:58
them and they put them in their heads.
16:59
You'll see some around and then they
17:02
squeeze water and those are typical.
17:04
They squeeze water on Oh, look. There's
17:06
little straws coming out of them. Yeah.
17:07
And then so they squeeze water to drink.
17:09
No, no, just to like to hydrate to get
17:12
hydrated. No, no, no. Like to like a
17:14
joke to people? Oh, so they're these
17:16
monkeys are going to squirt me. Exactly.
17:19
Okay. All of these are also like jokes.
17:21
Oh, yeah. Look at this. And you can see
17:24
the aote there. The one in the 50 peso
17:26
bill.
17:28
Where am I looking? A right here. Yeah,
17:32
that's the the Look at that monkey with
17:34
a luchador mask on. That's cute. It's
17:37
very typical. So, someone's going to
17:38
squirt me with these, probably. Or you
17:40
could squirt someone as well, but I'd
17:42
have to buy one of those to squirt
17:43
someone. And then once you go to the
17:45
castle, they won't let you in with them.
17:48
But, but listen to this. They have like
17:50
a nursery for the little monkeys. You'll
17:52
see. A nursery for the monkeys. So, they
17:54
keep them while How do you know which
17:56
monkey is yours? Oh, because they give
17:58
you like a ticket, a little tag. The
17:59
monkey gets a little tag in the tickets
18:01
here. This is kind of interesting. I've
18:02
never seen anything like this. But you
18:04
pay the general admission, which is 100
18:06
pesos, but in order for me to film where
18:08
I'm going, it's another 60 pesos to
18:11
film. I kind of like that. Just let me
18:14
pay a little bit extra. And that gives
18:17
me permission to film instead of going
18:19
to a place and having them yell at you
18:20
for filming. Right. That's how it should
18:22
be done. Everywhere. Right there. Done.
18:25
Then you know you got the You have to
18:26
have like a little receipt. This is your
18:28
ticket. actually your ticket and your
18:30
filming permission. About halfway up the
18:31
mountain now. Stopping to get look at a
18:33
little
18:34
cityscape. I'm still kind of confused on
18:36
the ratio price-wise. So, it was $100
18:38
each to get it and then 50 or 100 100
18:41
pesos each. And I I think I just asked
18:43
you what was that $50 a person? I just
18:44
paid like 150 bucks to get both of us
18:47
plus the filming and you're like no it
18:49
was five bucks each. So, it wasn't that
18:52
much. It was like for both of us and the
18:54
filming permit 13 bucks. It's okay.
18:58
That's That's good. That's a good price.
19:00
I was think it was like 130.
19:07
I was way off. If you buy one of those
19:07
monkeys, you got to put it over here in
19:09
the little monkey corral right there.
19:11
You can't bring them in.
19:14
The nursery. It even says guilia. What
19:17
does that mean? Nursery. A nursery.
19:20
Let's go around the front here. The
19:22
Capulet's mansion. Also from Romeo and
19:24
Juliet. All right. Reach the top.
19:27
Getting a nice little view of the
19:29
cityscape here. And then you turn this
19:32
way. And this is not a filming location
19:35
video by any means, but definitely
19:36
wanted to showcase the fact that this
19:39
was also in the beginning scenes of the
19:42
movie 96 Romeo and
19:44
Juliet. This was used as the exterior. I
19:47
think mostly the pool scene and
19:48
everything where they're in the pool and
19:50
all that and her balcony was on a sound
19:53
stage, but the whole beginning was right
19:56
here. You see the movie that fountain
19:59
there, Juliet's mom is beckoning out,
20:02
Juliet. Juliet right here. Fact, that's
20:05
the same balcony right up
20:08
there. And the same staircase the guys
20:11
are bringing the cake up. It's right
20:13
over there.
20:18
Again, this is not a filming location
20:18
video per se, but definitely wanted to
20:22
mention that because this was pretty
20:23
obvious what this was used on. There a
20:24
few screen
20:33
grabs. Same carvings and everything up
20:35
Still so cool. As a local, I should ask
20:38
you, would I, if I drank out of this,
20:40
would I get Montazuma's revenge? Not
20:42
really. That that would be safe. I think
20:44
I'm not going to. No, but you could. You
20:46
could. I just wanted your opinion. I'm
20:47
not going to chance it. I could myself.
20:50
I couldn't drink the tap water, but I
20:52
would drink that water. Okay. Yeah.
20:54
Well, I figure you're probably
20:55
acclimated like you're used to you're
20:58
being here. So, you're probably your
20:59
stomach and your system is is used to
21:02
drinking Mexico water where I drink a
21:04
lot of bottle water. So, I think if I
21:05
was to drink that, especially out of the
21:07
hotel, I wouldn't drink tap water. I've
21:08
been brushing my teeth with with bottled
21:11
water. With bottled water. I don't take
21:12
any chances.
21:17
I can't Everybody says Montazuma is
21:17
revenge. You ever heard that term? Yes,
21:18
of course. But that's especially with
21:20
food. With food? Yeah. Like if you eat
21:22
mole or something like that, like heavy
21:24
sauces sauce cuz they're made with the
21:27
water. No, because they made with chile
21:29
with a lot of spicy. It's a It's very
21:31
spicy. So, Montazuma's revenge is not
21:33
about the water. Not necessarily. No,
21:35
it's it's just whatever uh you you eat
21:38
or
21:39
drink. That's not good for you.
21:43
Okay, there's the balcony right there
21:45
where her mom comes out of yelling
21:48
yelling at the
21:54
beginning. All right, let's go
21:54
in. Only the residents of the
22:02
president, but the presidents no longer
22:02
live here. They live over by where my
22:04
hotel is over by the Zokula. Exactly.
22:07
Yeah. Palace National. The national
22:08
palace.
22:16
Presidents used to live here in the
22:16
castle or in another place here in the
22:18
Chapek Park, but not anymore because it
22:21
was too expensive and not too good for
22:24
the country apparently. But
22:28
that's amazing. Look at that.
22:55
Wow. This is
22:55
fromos, one of the major muralists in
22:58
Mexican history.
23:14
pretty amazing. This thing is just at
23:16
the
23:17
top of the hill overlooking the
23:20
city. Just quite the view of this entire
23:23
park full of
23:24
trees. I heard this is bigger than
23:26
Central Park in New York.
23:30
It's massive.
23:32
There's the It's very hazy today, but
23:34
you can see a angel sculpture down there
23:38
in the middle of the
23:46
skyscrapers. One of the first elevators
23:46
in the entire country right here.
23:57
It's not in use,
23:57
but You could you could use the stairs
23:59
as well.
24:06
So in all the country this is one of the
24:06
first elevator first. Yes. Just as the
24:09
one in the central meant that we went at
24:12
the beginning with the
24:23
But there was a battle here with the US.
24:23
Yes. In 1867 or something ago.
24:32
Apparently the American army came up
24:32
through the hill to take over the
24:34
castle.
24:42
And these are the young military who
24:42
defended the castle. And years
24:44
later, I pay $5 US to come up here
24:48
without having to climb the mountain.
24:50
And I'm allowed up here. You're welcome.
25:02
I always think about that about historic
25:02
places, how the people that lived here
25:03
during those times had no idea that it
25:06
would be a tourist attraction later and
25:08
the things that they did would become
25:10
something that people are taking selfies
25:12
in front of. Very interesting how how
25:15
time is and tourist attractions. There's
25:19
a little grasshopper.
25:29
The hill of the grasshoppers. Beautiful
25:29
gardens up here. Another little
25:30
sculpture and fountain as well. This is
25:33
the very top middle portion of the
25:46
I do love stained glass. This is
25:46
amazing. Incredible.
26:01
I've learned since being here a few days
26:02
when you use the banos, the restroom,
26:04
you're going to need a peso. 10, usually
26:06
10
26:07
pesos. So, if you have that, then
26:09
they'll let you in the the bathroom. You
26:11
can't just go use a public facility
26:14
unless you unless you put this in the
26:15
little coin slot. So, I've always tried
26:18
to have some coin pesos on
26:21
me. But when you go around here, take a
26:24
look. It's like a It's like a whole
26:26
setup here. It's like this whole You got
26:29
the women here, you got the men's here,
26:32
and then you insert it in here like
26:36
so. And then you go
26:43
through. Is this the
26:43
tram? Is the tram coming
26:56
Hello. Check out over
26:56
here all the swan
27:03
boats out on the lake. Well, there's a
27:03
few swan boats. Most of them other ones
27:05
are little little smaller boats. Paddle
27:07
boats. That's the word. Self paddle
27:09
boats, I should say. There's a couple
27:11
swans out there, though.
27:21
There he is. The god of rain. The god of
27:21
water.
27:30
What's his name again? Clal. Clalok.
27:30
Yes. The god of water. Rain. Yeah. Is he
27:33
a god or just No, he is. He's
27:43
It's very Aztec. Yes.
27:43
related to the crops like to
27:45
agriculture. So that's why it was so
27:47
important because we needed water to
27:50
survive. So it's I I would say the
27:52
second most important god in the Aztec
27:54
culture. Say it one more time. Second uh
27:58
most important god in the Aztec culture.
28:01
Yeah. And how do you pronounce his name?
28:03
Clal. Kluko. Clal with T L. Aloc. Kalo.
28:08
Kaloko. Yeah. Maybe you can see Kalok.
28:10
Clal. You can see down here
28:23
Yeah. Not really.
28:23
And actually it's before the Aztecs
28:25
apparently since the Tiwakan. Oh yeah.
28:28
They already
28:30
So pre-Azzac preastic
28:39
officers are specifically for tourists.
28:39
Touristica. They speak English.
28:42
Interesting. They wear the blue shirts.
28:44
They speak English.
28:46
Tourist police.
28:48
And you can see in the back. This is
28:50
where you'll see them riding around
28:51
town. They'll like have all the officers
28:53
sitting on those little benches right
28:55
there. Cuz all these places don't take
28:57
cards, just cash. Just one of them. At
29:00
the beginning, it says that they would
29:02
accept card, but not the not the other
29:03
ones. Just cash.
29:06
I've noticed all the vendors, they love
29:07
to yell. Yes, they like to use. They
29:09
want to get your attention. They do.
29:10
They They're They're relentless.
29:13
Very aggressive and relentless here. But
29:16
it works cuz sometimes you're like, I do
29:18
need something that resembles
29:24
funions. Maybe I I do need a monkey. You
29:24
want to buy a monkey? No. If they yelled
29:27
loud enough, you'd probably buy one.
29:29
Talis. Kacadalis. Like slaps slaps in
29:32
the face. like slaps in the face because
29:35
slaps of sugar because it's like what
29:37
would happen to to the candy if they
29:39
slapped it like this. So it's just like
29:41
a candy. Yeah, it's candy. So it's like
29:43
a lollipop but slapped. We're over here
29:46
now at the museum.
29:48
This is not the art museum, right? No,
29:50
this is history anthropology museum.
29:52
Anthropology museum. You're highly
29:54
recommending I go in here? Yes, it's the
29:56
major museum in Mexico. In all of
29:58
Mexico, I would say. And right over
30:01
there's the god of water. And look right
30:02
here. There's
30:03
water. This is man-made, though. This is
30:06
coming from the ground, not the heavens.
30:10
Oh, wow. This interesting. There's like
30:12
nothing stopping anyone from just like
30:13
tripping over this and falling into
30:18
I don't think you'd see this in in the
30:19
US. I don't honestly don't think you
30:21
would see this. the trust system because
30:24
somebody we could just easily step over
30:26
there not knowing us a drop off and like
30:28
a like a a young
30:33
kid. All right. Museum of Anthropology.
30:36
Got a really goodized flag there waving
30:39
in the breeze. Cannot escape the street
30:42
vendors selling the Jaguar sound things.
30:45
They're over They're here too. They were
30:46
at the pyramids. Now they're in front of
30:48
the museum. They're everywhere. Do you
30:51
hear those Jaguar sounds in your sleep
30:54
sometimes? Yeah, I
31:05
bet. Sounds like someone's like hacking
31:05
up a log. They're like sick or
31:07
something. Admission in here is 100
31:09
pesos also and 63
31:12
pesos for video permission. Says it
31:15
right there on that
31:20
paperwork. Pretty interesting.
31:20
You have to get the permission slip. 63
31:23
pesos. Used to be 45 pesos. Still not
31:26
that much. What a couple dollar $3,
31:29
$4. Louise had to take off. Got some
31:32
prior obligations, but grateful to meet
31:34
up with him and showed me some things
31:36
before leaving. He said, "Definitely
31:37
make sure I check out this inside the
31:39
museum. This is an architectural
31:42
marvel." And the
31:45
name translates to umbrella cuz it is
31:49
shaped like an umbrella. This fountain
31:52
is the only thing holding up the roof.
31:54
You can see the roof over here. There is
31:57
a
32:05
gap. Isn't that amazing?
32:16
carving there in the water or behind the
32:19
water I should
32:26
say. And looking back the other way, you
32:26
can see only thing holding it up like
32:29
that is that
32:30
umbrella-esque type of architecture. I
32:33
also like on this card that they have
32:35
kind of an old school video camera as
32:38
opposed to like the the new
32:41
style. They haven't updated the image on
32:44
the camera
32:53
use. All right, this
32:53
is this is really awesome so far just in
32:56
the first little section here.
33:40
area. If I was reading the signs
33:40
correctly.
33:52
And now over into a different wing of
33:52
the museum. This is the Oldm area. So if
33:56
you ride the Mexico pavilion through
33:58
Cababayeras, right, the boat
34:02
ride, you pass an MC head similar to
34:05
this one.
35:16
Now do another section. The world of
35:16
Mexico.
35:52
Take a look at these little skull
35:52
carvings on this one.
35:59
All right, going to grab a Uber back
35:59
over to the Zoka area.
36:02
Also, this water should not be drank. I
36:05
mean, you're really not supposed to
36:06
drink any water, but this is definitely
36:09
non-potable
36:14
water. You can drink bottle
36:14
water or from a coffee shop that uses
36:17
purified water. Just don't drink any of
36:20
that water.
36:22
So there's an X through the guy drinking
36:24
the tap water. All right, got dropped
36:26
off. Took the Uber. Now back over here
36:29
by the
36:34
Zoka. A little bit down. I had to drop
36:34
off a little bit before there cuz it
36:36
gets a little congested down that way.
36:37
And that's going to do it for today.
36:40
Very
36:41
busy busy day in Mexico
36:54
That's going to do it for tonight.
36:54
You'll see the next video. The vlog is
