She is very interested in the lighthouse lens, although a hurricane several years ago took the part of the lighthouse down. While there Gina is reading from a girls diary that she has brought with her. The diary she has is written by the daughter of the lighthouse keepers. And, Gina is trying to adopt a girl from India that has serious health problems.
