WOW! China looks amazing! Catherine... did you feel the urge and need to eat snow on your journey along the wall?! You are both looking younger by the day... and those wigs make you look about 12 years old!! Lots of love to you both... from Mary, Steve, Lella and Arnz X X X X

Hi Lara - wonderful to see the photos and hear all about the China trip. Means a lot as you spoke so much about it when you were with us. Did warn you it would be cold - didn't think of snow though! Have fun on the beaches in Thailand getting those batteries recharged for the next leg of the journey. Lotsa love from Us2 in Kiwiland xxxx
