    Thank you very much for your final thoughts. It was fun to listen to you again ... and you know you can speak with authority, because you walked to "the end of the world" 😉. Jason, thank you for your effort with your daily videos and Lady Reck for your humor. I enjoyed you guys tremendously. Buen Camino.

    Thank you for all the fantastic videos. I enjoyed every one of them and appreciated them filmed in real time. I can only imagine after a hard days walk how much time it took to gather the footage and edit. Glad to see your going out there to hike again. Looking forward to those videos now. We are headed in Sept. for the Frances that we have been putting off because of the crowds. We too stay in private accommodations. I need my sleep!

    A recommendation regarding the umbrella for your next adventure - Euroschirm umbrella it has a larger circumference so will cover your backpack PLUS buy the attachments to the front straps of your backpack for the umbrella that way you can walk hands free. This is a recommendation from several seasoned Camino pilgrims. All the best and safe travels

    Queridos Jason y Lady Reck Os escribo desde el noroeste de España, en Galicia, en un pequeño pueblo en el cual veo pasar cada día a muchos peregrinos que, como vosotros, caminan a Santiago de Compostela. No importa si llueve o hace frío o si el sol es abrasador, tampoco importa si vuestros cuerpos acusan el esfuerzo de cientos de kilómetros recorridos. Siempre continuáis caminando con una sonrisa en vuestro rostro y un brillo especial en vuestra mirada. Vuestra decisión de emprender este viaje lleno de significado y espiritualidad demuestra un profundo compromiso con el descubrimiento personal, con la aventura y el respeto por las tradiciones culturales. Es un honor para nosotros haber sido parte de vuestro camino y haber compartido con vosotros un pedacito de nuestra tierra. Sabemos que el Camino deja huella en todos aquellos que lo realizan, pero vuestra presencia aquí también deja una huella imborrable en nuestros corazones y en nuestra comunidad. Vuestro esfuerzo es un ejemplo para nosotros. Espero que los recuerdos de vuestra travesía por el Camino de Santiago sigan iluminando vuestro camino en el futuro. Siempre seréis bienvenidos en nuestras tierras. Con todo mi cariño y gratitud. BUEN CAMINO !!

    Followed your adventure and loved it as I sit here planning our first camino. Since you stayed in private accommodations, could I ask how much that cost you, if you have breakdown? Also, did you have to book ahead? Thank you and love the videos!

    We averaged $86 per night. Always booked 4-5 days out. Which really locks you into your itinerary which is good and bad. Buen Camino
