Greetings from China! I am so excited to be writing to you from Shenzen, a city not far from Hong Kong on the mainland. This is our fourth day here in Asia. The first three days were spent exploring the amazing city of Hong Kong, and our future travels will take us to Dhongzhou and Shanghai. Enjoy a few recent pics!
