5. Toddler Interrupted

[00:00:01] Speaker A: This is the true story of one family who sold their house, packed up their life, and decided to live nowhere on purpose. [00:00:11] Speaker B: What absolute abnormal people would even conceive of something this ridiculous? Two kids, two parents, six months, no fixed address. [00:00:31] Speaker A: There are some people who are like, oh, that's so nice for you. And probably secretly in their head going, what the fuck? Find out what happens when you stop watching the travel influencers who make it all look perfect and start living their nomadic life with kids for real. [00:00:54] Speaker B: Did we name this podcast? [00:00:56] Speaker A: We called it Trips and Giggles. [00:00:57] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. Because I was gonna say welcome back to Trip Giggles. Megan just asked me, should we start the podcast with the exceptionally loud alarms that are going off outside? I was like, that's pretty much what it's like here. So it would give people a realistic depiction. [00:01:14] Speaker A: I mean, about 20 minutes ago, there were fireworks going off right outside the bedroom window. So I was like, please, dear God, do not let it wake up the toddler. [00:01:24] Speaker B: And they weren't like those piss poor, like, bottle rocket shit you get when you're like nine, right? Like, these were like mortar level explosions outside of our fucking window. [00:01:34] Speaker A: Is this a gunshot or is this a. [00:01:36] Speaker B: It was worse than a gunshot. It was more like a bazooka. Like, it was. It was not a gunshot. It was. Well, I went there to check the baby because I'm like, oh, my God, this is just killer. Okay, well, I will. [00:01:49] Speaker A: Just to make a comment on that. We did read before we came here that San Miguel, which is where we still are, it's our last night in San Miguel de Allende. There's lots of festivals here. I read that. I read lots of reviews on the Airbnb saying there's noise. [00:02:07] Speaker B: Your cousin said that due to the, like the Catholic nature. Your cousin said there's like a hundred holidays per year. [00:02:14] Speaker A: Yes. [00:02:15] Speaker B: So something like 25% of the days have, like, holidays. [00:02:21] Speaker A: Right, Right. So I, you know, I definitely was expecting there to be noise, but not like this. [00:02:27] Speaker B: Right. [00:02:28] Speaker A: I didn't really expect, like, fireworks to be going off outside of our window at 9. 9:30? [00:02:34] Speaker B: Yeah. 9:30 at night. 9:30 at night. And at sometimes 7:00am Which. That one I don't understand. We could talk about that one too at some point. So I want to start here, though. This is our last night in Mexico. Not all of Mexico. San Miguel. How are you feeling about leaving about the next leg? [00:02:51] Speaker A: So our kiddo. I hate that word, kiddo, actually. [00:02:56] Speaker B: Why did you use kiddo? [00:02:57] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:02:58] Speaker B: Can you say chitlin? [00:03:00] Speaker A: Cordy and I were talking today, and Cordy said, you know, I'm both sad and happy to leave. [00:03:10] Speaker B: Awesome duality. She's so emotionally intelligent. [00:03:13] Speaker A: So emotionally intelligent. And I said, oh, tell me about that. And she said, you know, there's certain things that I'm gonna miss here. She said, I'm gonna miss the, like, some of the food. Right. She's gonna miss the flower ice cream. [00:03:30] Speaker B: Of course. She says desserts. Right. I think that's really what she's taken to here, is, like, the desserts. [00:03:35] Speaker A: Yeah, Churros. Churros. [00:03:38] Speaker B: Chocolate filled churros. [00:03:40] Speaker A: She made a friend this week. [00:03:42] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, she did. [00:03:44] Speaker A: And so I kind of feel similar. She said, I'm not gonna miss the house that we're staying in, even though it is beautiful. It just. I think there's a lot that didn't work well for our family. And not that it wouldn't work for somebody else, but I feel very similar. I was gonna say kind of something the same thing. I think that there's some really cool things about this city and this town, and I am kind of looking forward to our next step. How are you feeling? [00:04:18] Speaker B: I'm ready to get the hell out of here. I'm done. I'm done. No, I. [00:04:26] Speaker A: Listen, I will miss the coffee. [00:04:27] Speaker B: You know that I love the coffee culture. When we started this, this podcast, you said, like, you know, tell me, what are the things that you like or whatever. And those things haven't changed. There is. We walked to the local grocery store. The coffee is so good. [00:04:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:43] Speaker B: The cappuccinos and lattes are just. [00:04:46] Speaker A: I don't even like coffee. And the coffee is good. [00:04:48] Speaker B: It's zero bitterness, which is the way coffee should be. The fact that people, like, go to Starbucks, like, this is delicious or full of shit. Unless you get a Frappuccino. Yeah, no, but I'm ready. Like, I feel like we've done. We talked about this. We've done this. I could have done this in a week, but I'm like, this was super cool. Really enjoyed X, Y, and Z. I'm moving on. Like, I'm ready for our next leg. Let's go. Let's get out of here. I am feeling like I wanted to leave three days ago. [00:05:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, when I found, like, a dead, giant beetle in one of the bags when we were packing tonight, I. [00:05:23] Speaker B: Was like, was it a cockroach or a beetle? [00:05:25] Speaker A: Cause I don't know. [00:05:26] Speaker B: These beetles are big. [00:05:27] Speaker A: They're big. [00:05:28] Speaker B: They're like silver dollar. I know. We're old silver dollar big. Because that big one was down here that crawled on the couch. And I was like, I'm gonna have to get that one tomorrow. [00:05:35] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know. I can't tell. There's, like. There's different kind of. I can't tell if they're like Mexican cockroaches or if they're. [00:05:41] Speaker B: Well, the brown ones were cockroaches, but the big black ones are just beetles. Did you see what I did to the one down here? It crawled on the couch the other day when I was, like, sitting there on the corner of my life. Big ass one on the couch. And I was pissed. I was like, I don't want to sit here with my naked feet on the floor and this beetle comes back and craw. I'd freaked the fuck out, Right? [00:05:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:59] Speaker B: So I went upstairs and I was like, I'll do my nightly thing. The next day I found that sucker roaming around while I was working. And so, of course, I smashed it. But then I left it out in the dustpan to make an example so that their friends didn't come back and think, oh, shit, Larry got in. Larry's fucked. Like, So I wanted other ones to know that situation. [00:06:21] Speaker A: Meanwhile, you made. You created a toy for our toddler who's been picking up these giant beetles and the dead ones and the live ones and taking them out to the leaves and going like, she's feeding them. You know, like it's a doll that she's pretending to feed, but they're beetles. [00:06:39] Speaker B: Hey, that saves money on toys. I love this. This is great. Why not just keep dead bugs or things around for her to feed? [00:06:48] Speaker A: I'm glad that she's not afraid of bugs. That's, you know, that's a win. [00:06:53] Speaker B: I mean, she's going to be. Cordy wasn't afraid of spiders either, until you did the scream a lot. A couple. [00:06:59] Speaker A: Well, you know. But now she does pick up bugs. So, like, I think some of them. [00:07:02] Speaker B: With spiders, she screams the way that you scream. [00:07:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I still. Yeah. We talked about this before. [00:07:07] Speaker B: We did. Let's not go into that. [00:07:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:09] Speaker B: Okay. Let's go through our list of awesome here. Oh, this is fun. So before we got here and this always happens, the kids got sick again. [00:07:18] Speaker A: Oh, good. Yeah. So, I mean, it was inevitable. [00:07:22] Speaker B: It was. It's just they were doing so good and they had made it through and the audacity of hope. Right. I'm just like, oh, maybe it's something about, like, they're not having a lot of contact with kids. They're not. Well, except for our two year old. They're not like licking things randomly, you know. [00:07:40] Speaker A: Ripping plants and eating them and like, oh my God, she's gonna be poisoned at some point. [00:07:45] Speaker B: Like, our youngest likes to pick up cigarette butts and put them in her mouth. Like, she just loves that. Like old cigarette butts. Look at this. Oh, God, she is something, man. [00:07:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:55] Speaker B: So just wild. So. Yeah. So her oldest got sick for three days and she was down, but that, that's not as bad. I think she can handle. I mean, she whines a little bit, but like, I think she handles it okay. It's when like a 20 month old gets sick. [00:08:09] Speaker A: Here's what happened the day where Cordy was starting to feel better. [00:08:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:15] Speaker A: I don't remember why, but Cordy was like messing with Nuggie and like licked her face. [00:08:24] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah. [00:08:25] Speaker A: And I was like, I might even mention this. [00:08:28] Speaker B: They could also cross like water bottles or food or something. Like, you know what I mean? Like, you try to stop them from like eating the same muffin and you can. Or like the water bottles get mixed. [00:08:37] Speaker A: Takes her like ice cream. [00:08:39] Speaker B: Cody always takes her dessert. Like, no matter what happens, like, jacks up her dessert and then just stuffs it in her face and we're like, she's sick. And then, you know, that's the end of it. I forgot about that part. So then, yeah, our youngest gets sick and she gets like 104 fever and she's just a mess. And she's crying and she's screaming and like, we're trying to work. She wants you. Yeah, she's screaming. [00:09:03] Speaker A: We basically sent the nanny home like three days. [00:09:05] Speaker B: Multiple days. [00:09:06] Speaker A: The nanny's just like, it doesn't even matter. [00:09:08] Speaker B: Well, the nanny's just kind of sitting there with her as she's screaming in the stairwell as our place, just as we said before, a total echo chamber. So it sounds like she's like in our ear. [00:09:17] Speaker A: Yes. You might as well just be sitting up there with her. So. Which is what we did. [00:09:23] Speaker B: Let's just watch Coco and Moana just non stop. [00:09:27] Speaker A: Oh, God, I hope we watch less TV at our next. It's been way even for me, which, you know, I'm a little more lenient than you are. A little more. It's been too. [00:09:37] Speaker B: We're not even close. Like, we're not even close. [00:09:40] Speaker A: I'm really hoping that there is, like, more outdoor activities. [00:09:47] Speaker B: Listen, I've talked to you about this before. I swear to God, I'll do it And I'll let myself. I'll do. I will be in the moment. I will put my phone away and I will pull all the electronics and we'll all sit around and stare at each other. I'm cool with it. Yeah, like that Mitchells and machines scene where they forces them to put the phones down and stare at each other. [00:10:05] Speaker A: I love that movie. You can't see it right now. [00:10:09] Speaker B: Five minutes of uninhibited eye contact. [00:10:12] Speaker A: If you can't see it right now. Damon is staring at me very creepily with his eyes super wide open. [00:10:18] Speaker B: This doesn't feel weird. [00:10:23] Speaker A: Anyway, best kids movie. [00:10:24] Speaker B: I feel like we're. If you have kids, I think this conversation will resonate because we will talk about movies. We were just talking to another parent yesterday. Our friend's sister came and we're talking about, like, they have a young daughter and she says they watch Encanto, like on repeat, nonstop. [00:10:43] Speaker A: And. [00:10:43] Speaker B: And for our two year old, it is Moana and Coco. [00:10:46] Speaker A: Yep. Moana and Coco. [00:10:48] Speaker B: Moana and Coco. [00:10:50] Speaker A: So they got sick. But I, you know, being the optimist here, I do want to point out both kids only got sick for three days and there was no after cold. You know, like, there's usually the fever and then there's the cold afterwards, which is like the snotty nose and the coughing. [00:11:09] Speaker B: Oh, you're sniffling for. Well, you can't get a snotty nose here. It's so freaking dry. It's a damn desert. Good luck having a snotty nose. [00:11:16] Speaker A: I'm just saying there was no post fever cold, which then drags out two or three weeks, which I was like, that is a positive. I will say, oh, it's true. [00:11:26] Speaker B: I'm just like, I think that has to do with the fact that we're in a desert and at the current moment, I can just feel how dry my, like, Sahara nostrils are right now. Like, they feel crackly, like dry skin inside my nose. And so that's why you can't get snot afterwards. But you're right, it could have been worse. But it was a lot of whining, a lot of screaming, a lot of us not getting stuff done. [00:11:48] Speaker A: I mean, prep for her getting sick. Both of them getting sick at our next location. [00:11:52] Speaker B: Portugal was worse. You know what I mean? Like, Portugal, they got sick. [00:11:55] Speaker A: Well, they were with kids all the time. [00:11:57] Speaker B: Right. So I don't know. That was. That was tough times. [00:12:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:01] Speaker B: But, you know, we survived. I just think those moments are painful sometimes. [00:12:05] Speaker A: Yeah. And I will say, traveling with Kids who are sick. I have some anxiety about that, even though, you know, generally the traveling is my thing. I kept thinking, okay, do we need to go to the doctor? Do we need to call a doctor? Like, when do we call a doctor? Is the doctor going to speak English? Like, how do we know if it's a good doctor? You know, like, you know, you always, like, think the worst. Like, is there a hospital nearby? Right. Like, just in case. So, like, I think having that stuff sort of mapped out a little bit better would be. [00:12:44] Speaker B: Would be helpful. I mean, we. We kind of stumbled through that. I don't know. Did we talk about that in Portugal? Like, the amount of times we went to. [00:12:51] Speaker A: I don't think we did talk about that. [00:12:53] Speaker B: We'll go back into that and go into, like, the amount of time you get used to, like, the medical system there, which I think is probably good to talk about, and we'll learn that. I mean, yeah, it's inevitable that we're gonna have to go to some urgent care or a hospital. We went to, what, four hospitals in Portugal. [00:13:07] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:13:08] Speaker B: I think four different ones we went to. [00:13:09] Speaker A: So at least in Northern Ireland, where we're kind of going next, we. We figured out the private healthcare system there, and it was pretty good. [00:13:18] Speaker B: Yeah. That one I feel like we have a better hold of, at least from appointment central and being able to connect. And the fact is, like, you know, again, we just. You know, here they predominately speak Spanish, as they should. Right. And so it's. There's not a whole lot of English. You know, we suffered through, like, a waiter trying to figure out the word for plate and us figure out the word for glass for about 15 minutes. [00:13:41] Speaker A: Like, awkwardly staring at us. [00:13:42] Speaker B: Just awkwardly. The three of us all staring at each other going. [00:13:46] Speaker A: What did he ask me? [00:13:47] Speaker B: What does he say? [00:13:48] Speaker A: I was like, did he ask me for a small water? [00:13:55] Speaker B: Or just the three of us just staring at each other in awkward moments. [00:13:58] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:13:58] Speaker B: Ladies behind us wanted more beer. He's just staring at us. I'm like, this is gonna be awesome. [00:14:02] Speaker A: Oh, goodness. [00:14:03] Speaker B: Very nice. I mean, people were. [00:14:04] Speaker A: Yeah, people are very nice. They're very patient with us. [00:14:07] Speaker B: They're patient with us as we stumble through Spanish as we're just terrible at it. Let's do it. Let's do a bunch of food things here. Okay. Let's go through a bunch. Okay. I had very intermittent luck with Uber Eats, and we don't use Ubereats back in the US because the fees are, like, 40%. They're insane. So cost is just nuts. But we went to Portugal, which we probably talked about. It was amazing. There's no fees, there's no tipping culture. The food was cheap, and it would come in like, 10 minutes. [00:14:38] Speaker A: I know you'd order it and it'd be like, there. [00:14:40] Speaker B: Holy shit. Like, bam. It's like preparing your order, picked up your order. I mean, these motorbikes were so incredibly efficient and so fast and so good on those roads that were all one way in this tiny city. I got spoiled. I'm like, oh, I get it. Uber Eats is just better in every other country than the U.S. no, that's just Portugal. That is incorrect. So. [00:14:59] Speaker A: Or at least so far, just Portugal. [00:15:02] Speaker B: Yeah, so far. I mean, we'll find out in Spain, right? So I had an order that the shopper was super communicative, very nice. Grabbed all the groceries, got to the checkout. He's texting me back and forth through UberEats from the grocery store, and then writes me and tells me that they're no longer part or they're not part of UberEats yet. What? You shop for all your shit, it's on the app. You're in the line. I paid it. And they said, well, I'm sorry, we don't do Uber Eats. What are you talking about? I don't understand what happened. [00:15:33] Speaker A: I don't even know how that works. [00:15:34] Speaker B: I don't. I don't understand. I had to contact Uber Eats, get refunded. Then I ordered on a Sunday at 8 o'. Clock. I put in the order. It said it was open, everything's fine. We just sat. [00:15:43] Speaker A: Nobody came. [00:15:44] Speaker B: Hour, actually. Nobody actually picked up the order. Like, they never took it. It was just like the time just kept going and going and going. [00:15:50] Speaker A: Yeah, because I think people. I mean, you. What? We talked to my cousin. He was like. Or no, you talked to somebody who was basically like, yeah, the culture here is that people want to spend time with their families. They're not all about money, so they're not going to be working, like, all hours. [00:16:04] Speaker B: But I don't blame them. I blame Uber. [00:16:06] Speaker A: Yes. [00:16:06] Speaker B: In other words, like, if there's not drivers available, don't allow me to put the order in. And, like, the one day which is like, it's been torrential rainstorms here for a while, because for the last week, I went in to put an order and it just said no drivers available. So I was like, okay, cool. The app actually gets it. No one's working right now. But that Sunday night, it didn't say that. So Uber, get your shit together. You ordered Domino's through actual Domino's, Right. Like through their website. And they have that really cool like. [00:16:34] Speaker A: Tracking system showing the guy the process. [00:16:37] Speaker B: The driving, the gps. Right. [00:16:39] Speaker A: Yeah. And then it just, it looked like it went to some other house and then just didn't come. And I was like, your order is delivered. It was like, your order is delivered. And I was like, did somebody just steal our pizza? Somebody just eat our pizza? [00:16:54] Speaker B: Well, they gave it to someone else. I mean steal is a strong term right there. [00:16:58] Speaker A: Well, they did end up coming like 10 minutes later. [00:17:00] Speaker B: Yeah. So 15 minutes later, non GPS, they showed up to the door. So I Uber eats after that Domino's because their GPS does work. [00:17:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:10] Speaker B: But it was like, it was a little bit inconsistent to say the least. [00:17:15] Speaker A: Yeah, that's okay. I mean, and there's been good food and I mean, I think it's like in many places some of the food's been good and some of it's been. [00:17:23] Speaker B: Ho hum, we've hit or miss. Like I really liked Three Maria's. Right. Which was a place. [00:17:28] Speaker A: That place was great. [00:17:29] Speaker B: Was super fancy. We bring the two kids up. Like I just thought it was like, it looked like it had a cool rooftop deck. So I'm like, oh, let's go here. [00:17:35] Speaker A: Yeah. I just thought it was like a kind of, I don't know, it said cochina or whatever, right? Am I saying that wrong? And I just thought it was like maybe like a little bit of a brew pub or something. It's not, it's a like steakhouse. But it was very good. [00:17:48] Speaker B: Right. But they had a door person asked to be a reservation. People are dressed in suits that are all working there. [00:17:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:55] Speaker B: And then fireworks are being shot off. So pieces of firework remnants are floating into our food. Into our food. I'm like, the food was good. Putting our hands over top of the wine bottles or the wine glasses to stop ash from falling into our wine and on our food as the kids are losing it because our two year old can't sit for more than seven seconds. Because she's two years old. [00:18:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:19] Speaker B: So we're like trying to run her around this place. But the views were gorgeous. Yeah, it was beautiful. I love the other place we went to that had the, they had a mezcal and craft beer bar. [00:18:30] Speaker A: Oh, that was cool. [00:18:31] Speaker B: And I just, it was just the lights they had in this place. Like think of pendant lights in the kitchen and then imagine that it's like the size of a dinosaur. Like, those things were unbelievable. It was like liberty bells with baskets and light bulbs hanging above you. [00:18:47] Speaker A: Yeah. The atmosphere was very. [00:18:49] Speaker B: It was wild. [00:18:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:50] Speaker B: So that food was. It was expensive. Expensive, but the food was good. And then it was a. [00:18:54] Speaker A: Like, wasn't it a Michelin star restaurant? [00:18:57] Speaker B: Yeah, it was a Michelin star restaurant. [00:18:58] Speaker A: But, like, casual. [00:19:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, usually Michelin star would be like a five or seven course meal. And we just ordered normal chit. [00:19:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:05] Speaker B: And it was delicious. [00:19:06] Speaker A: It was great. [00:19:07] Speaker B: Everything I had was great. And then they had this little adjacent tequila bar, and then a mezcal and craft beer bar. And the Mezcal bar. The guy was awesome. It was our friend's birthday, so I bought her a. Like, a flight of Mezcal. So they gave her six mezcals from different regions all over Mexico. They bring it out with this special two kinds of salt that you taste. Slices of tomatillo. Like, you have this like. Like intermittent. Almost like you take ginger when you have an Asian meal to, like, clear your palate. I'm sorry. I love food. I'm going. I'm getting deep in people. But it's like they showed you a certain way to take the different kinds of salt. And then try these Mezcals. And they were just off the charts. Good. [00:19:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:48] Speaker B: And so our friend and I went back to the Mezcal bar, bought our favorite, and then met the owner, the maker, the owner of the mezcal, who. [00:20:00] Speaker A: Just happened to be in the bar. [00:20:01] Speaker B: Now I'm feeling badly. I'm not saying who that is. Like a jackass. [00:20:04] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Hold on. I can. I can get it. [00:20:06] Speaker B: Oh, you're gonna run over and get the bag. What I really like about this show is how prepared Megan and Damon are. They really take time to, like, write out what they're gonna talk about so they don't have to get up conversation. Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. This is the best part. I would love you to pronounce this name. Ready? We're gonna both do this and see who screws it up. Okay, here we go. This is. It's J, U, L, H, I, K. [00:20:36] Speaker A: David. I am the. [00:20:37] Speaker B: No, no, I'm not saying I'm gonna do it. Right. Listen, I'm gonna. I'm gonna completely butcher this. [00:20:41] Speaker A: I really like your Spanish. Atrocious. [00:20:43] Speaker B: Between your Spanish and your Ace Ventura impression, which I really hope happens at some point. [00:20:48] Speaker A: I refuse. I ref. [00:20:50] Speaker B: Sure. [00:20:50] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:20:51] Speaker B: Okay, so pronounce it J, U, L. [00:21:02] Speaker A: Listen. [00:21:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:03] Speaker A: Because a J is my goal in life. When we get to Spain is to take Spanish lessons. [00:21:09] Speaker B: No, I was gonna pronounce, like, a German. Like, Ulic German. Ulek. Oh, shit. They have a registered trademark. Okay, here's the deal, though. So we. This Mezcal is phenomenal. It's delicate. I mean, it was just beautiful. It's the kind of thing where you have, like, if you have a really expensive tequila, you realize, oh, it doesn't burn if you have something really good. Right? [00:21:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:31] Speaker B: And so we met the. The guy who makes the shit who was in the Mezcal bar. Got pictures and stuff, and he's. We asked him. We're like, okay, how do you. How do you make this Mezcal? Like, what do you do? Like, do you have some big, you know, farm, or what do you do? No. This dude drives three hours one way with donkeys. Then he gets the donkeys and climbs into some habitat which is completely natural, Harvests the agave, puts it on the saddlebags of the donkeys, and walks the donkeys back to the truck and drives three hours back. This is what he does to do. And I'm like, really? He comes over his phone and he shows us the donkeys? [00:22:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:22:16] Speaker B: I'm like, that is commitment and complete inability to scale at all whatsoever. Like, how do you scale a donkey operation? [00:22:23] Speaker A: Well, it's not scalable, and it's very local. Right. [00:22:26] Speaker B: That's the thing. [00:22:26] Speaker A: That's basically. It's only sold in, like, two stores. [00:22:29] Speaker B: Yeah, two stores. One in Mexico City and one where we were in San Miguel. And maybe that's why it's good, because that reminded me of, like, Portugal. Like, the wines that they just did. [00:22:36] Speaker A: Oh, my goodness. [00:22:37] Speaker B: They didn't. [00:22:38] Speaker A: The wines here are not that good. Great. [00:22:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:40] Speaker A: At least not that we tried. [00:22:41] Speaker B: Yeah. The ones we tried. I mean, I don't think we got to go to, like, a vineyard or. [00:22:44] Speaker A: Something, but, like, there are vineyards that we did not go to. [00:22:46] Speaker B: But Portugal was similar in the sense of, like, these small batch vineyards would only sell in these local stores and they go to local wine store. And, like. Yeah, we're the only ones that sell this. It was similar to. We've talked about this today as well. Like, the artwork here, which is insane. And there's local artists who only sell here. But anyway, this Mezcal was amazing. The restaurant was amazing. I don't remember the name of it, but it was really good. So I'm gonna give some positives here. Even though we've had some duds of meals, this one in the mezcal bar was worth it. So I am attempting. We'll see how this goes. I can talk about this later. I am shoving this giant mezcal bottle somewhere deep into our suitcase. So either one, it's gonna break and all my shit's gonna smell like mezcal, or two, when we go from London to Belfast, we're gonna be charged some ridiculous fee because we're gonna go over and wait. [00:23:39] Speaker A: Yeah, well, we'll figure that out. [00:23:40] Speaker B: That's what I can imagine. [00:23:41] Speaker A: You knew. You mentioned the artists. I just wanted to say, get into it. There's so many cool galleries and artists and, and stuff like that here. I even. So this week, Cordy did two things right in the morning, she did a art class from 10 to 2, and then she did a rock climbing class from 3 to 5:30, like Monday through Friday. So it was a busy week for her. I think she loved it. The art studio that she went to, there was only three kids there. [00:24:14] Speaker B: Yeah, it was supposed to be four, but it was three of them. [00:24:16] Speaker A: Yeah, it was three kids with like two to three artists there every single day. So they got like lots of one on one attention. They did all kinds of different stuff. And then we were just out walking today and we saw this like massive mural. And it happens to be like from the art studio that she did. The. [00:24:36] Speaker B: That was their way of advertising. Yeah, I mean, that was their advertisement. Which, by the way, there's beautiful murals all over the city. Yeah, like painting the walls. And I've taken so many pictures of Cordy in front of these murals because they're beautiful. That class, I mean, she might not say it, but like her creativity was off the charts. I saw some of the stuff she made from drawings to stamps to like designing. [00:24:59] Speaker A: Yeah, she made her own stamps. And then it's like this like kind of very unique where they gave her sort of a plasticky thing and then she had to carve it out and then you put ink on it and then you like flip it onto this paper and then roll the stamp to get like a certain like style of stamp. So she like not only just did stamps, but like made her own stamps. And they sell these kinds of like, I've seen them now in several different galleries. Like these kind of like stamp artwork for like good money. Right. And I'm like, she made multiple of them and I think they're like on par with some of the ones I've seen for sale. [00:25:42] Speaker B: Maybe the art studio is selling them. So like they get the child in, the kids do the work. And then they sell. The kids work in, like, the La Fabrica, which is this huge studio center. So it's kind of like. It's kind of like a sweatshop. But they're not really, like, forced to be in there. [00:25:56] Speaker A: Although they did send everything home, so probably. [00:26:01] Speaker B: We just paused because I heard our. [00:26:05] Speaker A: Oh, no. [00:26:07] Speaker B: 20 month old. All right, we're gonna pause. [00:26:09] Speaker A: Okay. Well, that's. [00:26:11] Speaker B: That's a great episode. Great job, everybody. Peace out. Talk to you later. [00:26:15] Speaker A: Real parents. [00:26:16] Speaker B: Real parents. Gotta go. [00:26:16] Speaker A: Bye. By.
