"Gargoyles & Graffiti"chronicles architectural elements that I find interesting or unique in my travels. Gargoyles are my passion, but today graffiti (which I hate but am learning to love as it is everywhere) is as much a part of architecture as the gargoyles and decorative railings that thrill me.

Towel Animals on Holland America

Elephant towel animal on the Holland America Noordam
Now that I have locked my cruise in on NCL, I am getting nostalgic about the wonderful cruises I've had on Holland America and all the things I will miss. I only hope NCL can be half as good as HAL. One thing I love about HAL are the wonderful towel animals. Doesn't matter which ship I am on, whether the Eurodam or the Noordam, the cabin stewards make these great towel animals that we come back to after dinner.

Towel monkey hanging on HAL Noordam 

The above two towel monkeys look a bit alike, but note the difference. Both hang from a hanger, but the first monkey has his legs really stretched out and monkey #2 almost looks like he is sitting or swinging with his legs up. Monkey #1 has a long face, where monkey #2 almost looks like his towel tongue is hanging out.

Which do you like better?
