    Best birria: Birrieria Los Montaño on Calle Ignacio Zaragoza close to OOMSAPAS. Never mind the iguanas looking down on you from the tops of the walls, or the chickens walking down the sidewalk. This place sells out so go early! You will also be able to practice your Spanish since no one there speaks English. Not to worry because the legenday Mexican friendliness runs strong there. I have been visiting CSL since 1992 and have lived here since 2012, full time.

    Maro’s is hands down THE WORST shrimp I have ever had ANYWHERE in the world. You can smell the bleach coming off every plate the is carried by your table. An old trick is to rinse shrimp that are old to mask the off smell. Every concierge will send you to Maro’s because they think that’s what gringos want. Absolutely terrible!

    Most of these I agree with. I love roadtripping and I haven’t done as much lately because I don’t have a spare tire yet. My car came with what is essentially a fix a flat system instead. 😂 I think my one issue with the items listed is the personal safe. Just keep things out of sight. You’d be amazed how many hiding spots are in your car. I was able to stash a snack size Pringles can in my car beside a bin that doesn’t look like it would be removable. Cash stash!

    Over stuffing PD cubes like that kinda defeats it's purpose. Works better to have multiple small cubes. PD cubes has two sides. One side for clean clothing. Other side for dirty. Then you compress it down if needed. If you can't then it is too stuff and should be split. Need some wiggle room to move things from side to side.

    • @GeminiDiscover
      @GeminiDiscover Місяць тому

      Just finished my 3 weeks in France and have come to the same conclusion that the PD cubes can’t be stuffed to be effective. The cheaper Bagail cubes had way more wiggle room for “stuffing” and compressing them. They ended up being my favorites after 3 weeks of traveling.
