Buen Camino, guys!

[@tendegreeswarmer]

Thank you!

[@nancymiller7984]

The trail looks beautiful.

[@tendegreeswarmer]

It really is. Sometimes we have to just stop and stare. ❤

[@TomChase-yb7fg]

Great video! I love this one so much as you did it from the trail. I love all your videos of course, but this one stood out. I felt like I was there with you guys. You’re providing such handy information too. That’s so reassuring that we can easily send on our extra bag to Santiago and also great information on the grocery stores and availability of takeaway salads. And the tip about having two nights in St Jean Pied de Port.

[@tendegreeswarmer]

Our goal is just to be helpful, and make the kind of videos we wanted to watch while we were preparing. So glad you're enjoying them. You two are great candidates for walking the Camino yourselves!

Great vid guys! Does the supply shop in SJPD sell hiking umbrellas by chance?

[@tendegreeswarmer]

Good question, they had a lot of stuff but I did not specifically look for this. Another option in the big cities along the way is Decathalon but that won’t help you in the beginning of the Way.

How to say I’m tuckered with out saying I’m tuckered, “Don’t worry, I just fell in a ditch?” Lol, walk safe please.

[@tendegreeswarmer]

We aren’t afraid to say it, we were tuckered out! 🤣
