Based on true stories. Shout out to my friend Nate and his Mountain Men friends. Definition of crazy gringos and I love them for that #boofing .
1). They Find Beauty in Every Corner
Especially the really, really dangerous ones. What's that you see? A beautiful alley that looks like it was lost in time? You want to get your nice, shiny, new phone out to take a picture of it? Okay, how about we don't and just say we did? Amazing. I'm sweating just thinking about it. I don't have another phone to give guys. I'm at my cap for the year, but more on that later.
2). Oh My Goooood, That's Soooooo Beautifuuuuul
This sentence for everything. And I don't blame them. When you visit a place that isn't entirely made up of strip malls and Targets, you kind of get this overwhelming feeling of humanity and culture. Crazy. But also, I fully witnessed one couple lose their minds over a gordita. I felt that. Never stop getting excited people.
3) Mango Madness
This request does not fail to throw me off. Every time someone comes down to visit Mexico, the number one question is always "Where the fuck can I get a juicy mango?" Valid bro. Valid.
4) Sex Motels.
I'm just going to leave these screenshots, right here. I still snort when I pass that motel. Imagine this however you, please. You can't go wrong.
5). Assuming you can walk anywhere.
Specifically, my friend Nate. We have these things called "highways" and "crime" that might stop you from wanting to walk 30 minutes for tacos. This ain't some village kid! We have infrastructure!
6). Being all cool and Chillax.
Jealous, because the rest of us are so traumatized, that we freak out when someone asks for the time. Obviously, it's a setup to take our watch. Not falling for that again.
Shout out to all my friends who have come to visit me over here. Y'all give me a lot of content to work with. And heart attacks. But what's the difference? Am I right?
Viva Mexico Locos.
XO,
