Something cool happened today!!! We crossed the exact center of the Earth.  0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude.  Prime Meridian and the Equator.  How every you want to phrase it, it was really cool to do and it will most likely never again happen in my life.  I was lucky to snap a few pictures and catch a video at the exact moment that they were blowing the horn representing the crossing.  Very cool stuff.  Today I also did my first actual work on Semester At Sea.  I had to write a 9 page paper by the next day so naturally, I put it off until about 2000(8:00 PM) and it ended up taking me about 9 hours.  I stayed up an extra half hour to see the beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean…It was cloudy that morning.  Ended up staying up for breakfast at that point…They had no French toast.  It was a bad 12 hours.

  1. Less blogs about sunrises/sunsets, more blogs about getting wild on with locals.
