 Gateway Shopping

 Strange doll came in the mail from a persistent Latin Admirer  (I won't say stalker yet) of Elise's who lives in South America,  but was visiting China when he sent this package.   She met him last year on her Humanitarian trip.  We all were like... "huh?"

 TURKS & Caicos 

 Jacob made a friend on board and they seemed to meet up at the pool every day, the kids club and on Grand Turk at a resort pool.  He had a ball :)
