Avocado lotion for my cherry head

We just crossed the equator on the way to Ratetea, our first stop in the Society Islands. I'll be beach bumming most of the day tomorrow as, amazingly, I haven't been on a beach since this trip started...with the exception of Gran Cayman. This is the first time I've been in the southern hemisphere. Hemisphere seems like a huge thing. It's a big weighty word. Hemisphere. Anyway, I was outside watching a 'crossing the equator' celebration the ship does - it's a grande affair where the crew members of the ship and folks from the entertainment staff wear crazy costumes like mermaids and prisoners and judges and such, and cover the crew members who haven't ever crossed the equator in fish guts and foam sherbet and throw them in the pool. It's weird and no one can use the pool for the rest of the day...except this crazy drunk old lady who kept splashing everyone during the ceremony...she didn't hesitate to jump right in the fish gut sherbet pool as soon as the ceremony was over. I was out there for about 15 minutes on the pool deck and throughout the rest of the day watched in horror as my face turned a brighter and brighter shade of red. I felt funny even walking around...like a big headed cherry who hasn't heard about sunscreen. I bought stuff in the salon made from avocados because apparently avocados are the reciprocal of our sun. It cost me $40 for avocado lotion for my cherry head.
