Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year to all of you! Happy 2009!! We had a wonderful New Year's Eve last night! Following a great New Year's dinner, we had a meaningful program in which the ship's company had the chance to share about God's blessings in 2008. What an encouragement to hear how God's been working throughout this past year. After the program, the dining room was transformed into a cool cafe complete with live jazz! We socialized and mingled until a few minutes before midnight when the entire crew went up to our top deck to count down the minutes until the new year. At exactly midnight, fireworks starting lighting up the night sky. We have never seen sooooo many fireworks in all our lives! Literally, there were fireworks going off all around us. From our high vantage point, we could see hundreds of fireworks going off all throughout the city simultaneously. The sight was one we will never forget. We were awstruck. What an unbelievable sight! We watched the fireworks until our toes and fingers started going numb and then headed back into the ship for a night of traditional Scottish Ceilidh dancing! We will forever remember our 2009 New Year in Koge, Denmark!


Fun to dress up again!
