At 7:30am, the crew us up by banging down the hallway with pots, pans, whistles, and drums. The entire ship was woken up and told to go to the back deck on the 7th floor. By the time we get there, everyone was lined up around the pool waiting to listen to Neptune speak. He told us the tasks we needed to complete in order to safely cross the equator and no longer be called a pollywog. We were instructed to get fish guts dumped on our head, then jump in the pool to rinse off. After we kissed the dead fish and Neptune's ring, we were initiated. At this point, some people decided to shave their heads. About 4 girls shaved their heads and now they are considered true 'leatherbacks'.
As if these events weren't enough, it was TACO DAY today :) I have never been so excited to eat my favorite meal. It was like my excitement for Taco Tuesday times 10.
We are a little past the mid-way between Brazil and Ghana--I can't wait to get there!
