Lent is still a time of fun...

Lest you think Lent should be all glum and dismal...all sackcloth and ashes...all hairshirts and self flagellation (Froggy...do they sell hairshirts at Kohls?) I wanted to post some more of the pics from my cruise.

The pic to the left is our cruise ship, the Carnival Triumph. She is a 101,000 ton ship, which can cruise at 21 knots and holds 2,700 guests and crew. It was a truly wonderful ship. It had dozens of shops, restaurants, bars and a casino. The pic on the right is of me standing on the sands of Half Moon Cay. Sorry about the water spot in the middle of the pic. Our ship is in the background and you can again see the bright blue waters. The sand on this island was so awesome. It was as fine as baby powder and very cool to the touch despite the 80 degree temps and bright sun.

This pic to the left is our stateroom on the ship (see Mom...I made my bed!) and it was quite comfortable for the cruise. There were two single beds (I am standing on one to take the pic), plenty of storage space, a decent sized bathroom and even a built-in safe. It was really a nice place to stay for a week and actually nicer than a hotel. The stateroom steward came in during the morning to change out the towels and restock the bar (YEA!) and in the evening she would again change out the towels. Each evening we would come in and she would have made towel animals out of our clean towels like the bunny to the right (I think it's a bunny).

It was a great cruise and I will try to post some more pics in the next week or two. Until next time...God bless.
