Hello!!!!  Starting from Mexico, I’ve  been collecting turtles.  Not real ones of course, but little sculptures of them .

Here are my turtles in order from favourite to least favourite.

I was going to collect SKULLS, but today I found out that a turtle gives you a long life and that a skull scares evil spirits away!  I got a turtle AND a skull today at the Witches Market!  I get a good, long life!!!  Hooray!!

Oh, and for my favourite one can you see it’s cuteness??  Look again!

    Hey Sean, I love your collection. Careful, I might have to steal one when you get home. I love turtles too!

    Oh, you wanted them?? Too bad! YOU go on a trip and get some-they’re everywhere! It’s just hard to find cute ones like the amber one.

    I would have to agree that the amber one from Mexico is the cutest. Although the Machu Pichu turtle is also really nice! I think that between Zia Doris and I, we can help you find a home for all those turtles… just think how cute some of your turtles would look in Zia Doris’ pond?!
