Between Ghana and South Africa, we crossed the Equator. Maritime Tradition is to hold a ceremony to honor the sea god, Neptune by getting fish guts poured on your heads and kissing a dead fish. I did both and so am no longer considered a "pollywog." When this was an actual US NAVY ceremony, the newbies were seriously hazed; our version was the college "hazing is illegal" version.
Hahahaha.

Is it tradition to shave your head for Neptune day because they pour fish guts all over you and it's hard to get the smell out of your hair?
I am happy that you thought of me while hiking the great wall. I had forgotten about the grade school study that you reminded us of. Sopme day I may yet go there and visit it for myself. Hope so.
