2 Equators...1 Day

We Started the day off at the original equator monument built by France in 1736. We were at the ¨equator¨ so we decided to celebrate with a side of Cuy (guinea pig) with potato and salad. From the ¨equator¨ we ventured about 200 meters north to the equator as we know it today. They say the imposible is possible on the equator, and to some degree that is true. I for instance balanced an egg on the head of a nail. The actual equator, as verified by global positioning satellites, was very interactive and informative with an animal museum that reminded us all why we don´t pee in the Rio Amazonas...see full grown catfish in a jar.
