LIVE from the Camino Taiwan Grannies!!!

If you are on the CF watch for the fun & energetic group of 6 women from Taiwan, 5 of whom are 70 years plus.

Multigenerational family travelling together who exude love and joy from every pore! They call themselves the "Tiawan Grannies". The youngest is (granddaughter) ",Tina" who speaks English fluently and is spending 2 weeks shepherding her elders on the Camino. The other 5 older women will spend a total of 50 days on the CF, remaining on the Camino & fending for themselves after Tina leaves.

Tina walked the Camino last year and after returning home she told her maternal elders about her adventures. They all wanted "in" on Tina's experience so Tina agreed to help them get started on the CF.

They are a super super interesting and fun group so be sure to say hi, wave, smile, and chat with them a bit when you see them on the Camino!!!!
