journey to china
![]() These are my aunts Deb & Mary-Lou. The photo was taken in Victoria's China Town, Canada Day 2010. We didn't know back then that 4 years in the future we would be off to China together. The trip will be an adventure. From Vancouver to Shanghai to Beijing. Lots of sights in 12 short days.
We have our vaccinations, our Chinese Visas, our walking shoes, a great group of people and an open mind! We probably won't wear the maple leaf on our cheeks. |
