Oh my gosh! I am one bald lady. I woke up at 5:45 and headed up to the 7th deck to watch the sunrise. There were a lot more people than usual because sunsets over the equator as supposed to be amazing, and holy wowzars, it was spectacular. It was dark at first, but then slight rays of pale light could be seen streaming from the horizon in between the clouds. As the usual morning crew assembled these streaks from heaven we all were more than ready for the ceremonies to begin. Slowly those who hadn’t already woken up were by part of the night crew, who had dressed up like Vikings and were running up and down the decks blowing whistles, banging on drums, and knocking on all the doors. And you know what? The rest you’ll just have to come and live through for yourself. J I’m loving my baldness and I might even keep it like this for a while.
That night we had a talent show. After every act we all just kept saying how much we love this boat! So much talent are sailing with us! There was swing dancing, break dancing, Irish dancing, modern dancing, salsa dancing, rapping, slam poetry, instrumental, comedy songs, serious songs, jump roping, standup comedy, cross-dressing, and a whole bunch in between. Almost 3 hours we sat and cheered for our friends. What a semester this is. What amazing people I am meeting. What remarkable places I am going. Thank you all so much for helping me to become the person I am, which, as I am learning, is an always changing person. I love you.
Now, I need to go aloe my head because it’s burnt…. J
