A day of celebration and honor to the god Neptune who is god of the Southern Hemisphere waters? (I think) Our alarm clock consisted of the night crew dressed in Roman like costumes, banging drums and chanting at 7:45a.m (mind you we have no classes today) . We then were called up on deck to part take in an opening ceremony. Couple teachers were dressed up as King Neptune and his queen. Everyone then processed into a line to get blue cool-aid and mango juice poured onto them, you then pump into the pool, and as you get out you kiss a fish and then get knighted by King Neptune. The raffle for head shaving by the Captain of the ship was the next activity. After those two, I would say a third of the boy population shaved their heads and even some girls with the most gorgeous long hair shaved it ALL OFF. I could never do that. We shall see what their reactions are tomorrow. The rest of the day was full of sunbathing, smoothies, and reading. Tonight we have our port briefing for Salvador to get travel tips on what to bring, wear, what not to do, etc. Supposedly it is one of the most dangerous ports we are going to. Kinda nervous but going to be glad to get the hell off this boat!

You didn't shave your head??! Oh man, that's like the coolest part about crossing the equator. That, and the idea that you're "allowed" (according to maritime tradition) to get a tattoo now.
