Days at Sea—From Salvador, Brazil to Cape Town, South Africa

So I am an idiot, and I am writing about what I did on the way to South Africa while I am in Mauritius. And being that I am writing this 2 weeks after the fact, I am going to miss a lot of detail. But basically, the main thing is that I have no hair! Okay, so to explain now: Neptune Day is the day that you cross the equator. Tradition on this day is to have fish guts poured over you, jump into a pool, kiss two dead fish on the lips, kiss the ring of King Neptune, and finally, shave your head. Our Captain on the ship dressed up as King Neptune. I took part in all of the activities. Now it may shock you all that I shaved my head, but here were my reasons. All of my hair was donated to the charity “Locks of Love” and my hair is going to be made into a wig for a child who had cancer whom can no longer grow their own hair. So yea, I no longer have curls, but I have very short hair. According to a lot of people on the ship, I look better without hair. I really like it! But yea, so that’s the big news about my trip to South Africa. Oh, and by the way, there were 35 other females whom also shaved their heads and donated their hair to this amazing charity! Miss you all!
