Travel along with The Beans this week as they make their way to the Emerald Isle. . . Ireland! This episode covers their eventful introduction to the new country, which includes pints of Guinness, drunken old ladies, a moldy tent, witnessing an RV go up in flames, boozy tours, too much "Who let the dogs out?", Po-Po pub crawls, "The Cliffs of Insanity!", a sweater-wearing solo weenie dog. . . and more! Thanks again so much for tuning in and listening to another episode covering these two Beans' travel tales! We'll be back again next week for more stories during their stay in this beautiful country, so stay tuned!

Episode #11 - London: Charming Pubs and "Camigo" Hugs.
Friday May 04, 2018
Friday May 04, 2018
Pack your bags and travel along with The Beans this week as they make their way to London! High hopes of a milder climate were met as they about-face and spontaneously spin the dial of their travel compass in the opposite direction. They find a favorite pub, with charmingly quirky characters and lively old locals. There's tons of sightseeing and exploring the city to be had as well as reconnecting with a few "Camigos". The exchange rate and introduction of British currency put our traveling duos' budget skills to the ultimate test and while multiple forewarnings of a rough and crude mentality of the general public, The Beans' interaction with the locals couldn't have been more opposite. They please their palates with some dishes served from a couple of hidden gems, all the while accruing absolutely zero bug bites during their stay. So put the kettle on, or pour your favorite pint, and join our friends as they experience their first go in the United Kingdom! Thank you so much for listening, and be sure to tune in next week as The Bean Trail crosses the Irish Sea via bus, train and ferry landing these two in Ireland!

Episode #10 - Portugal: Wacky Meals and ...Drug Deals.
Friday Apr 27, 2018
Friday Apr 27, 2018
This week our beloved beans make their way to Portugal, the third country thus far. They experience some unexpected uniforms and k-9s while border crossing on the train. Their first stop is the quirky and vibrant port city of Porto, which is compared to San Francisco with its vibes. There are trollies, hills, narrow streets, seafood, and kids dressed like they're heading to Hogwarts. Karl gets offered drugs several times, and is learning how to be firm with his "NO!". We learn about service etiquette and their tipping culture. Lisbon brings with it a completely different vibe and fulfills our deepest foodie-desires. This might be our funniest episode yet, so get ready to laugh...if you don't chuckle aloud at least once or twice, you might want to get your noggin' looked at. We hope you enjoy the episode, and be sure to like, comment, leave a review, share, or subscribe to download new episodes each week. Next week: We'll be heading to London and Ireland. Thanks so much for listening!!

Episode #8 - Walking in the Dark & Trying Not to Shart
Friday Apr 13, 2018
Friday Apr 13, 2018
Created: 04/13/2018
HELLO ALL!! This week's episode will make you laugh, cry, and possibly cringe. We deal with quite a lot while walking into Santiago, which is the "finish line" for most pilgrims while walking this trail. Karl did an unexpected night hike, which was filled with spiritually enlightened experiences, and had a hard time with missing his brother's wedding. Whitney broke down while being followed by lost kittens. Our walk into Santiago was tense and filled with unmet expectations. Whitney had a surreal moment with a butterfly that forced her to look at the journey as a whole, and not just Santiago as being the main focus and finish line of the pilgrimage. Having our entire Camino family back together again for one final hoorah of a meal was bittersweet. Please feel free to leave any feedback, or contact us if you would like. Check out our website www.trailofbeans.com or our FB page by searching @TheBeanTrail. Stay tuned for next week's episode where we complete our 43 day Camino experience in Muxia along the coast in beautiful Spain. Until then. Thanks for listening!

This week The Beans talk about spending some time in St. Jean Pied-de-Port, where they start their pilgrimage across Spain. They experience pilgrim hostels (Albergues) for the first time, and have quite a quirky breakfast the morning they start the trail. Follow them along their journey up the Pyrenees, and their descent into Roncevalles where they sleep in a converted monastery, enjoying boiled weiners for dinner. They group up with some "Camigos", and walk into Pamplona to enjoy a stay with "Hermann the German" in his home confined by a set of very strict rules. Sneaking, vino, and heavenly hymns are in store for you while listening to the tales of this week's bean trail. Want to explore more of our travels? Check out our website at: www.trailofbeans.com
