On the ecuator

It actually hadn't really even occurred to me that I might be able to visit the ecuator while in Ecuador. It was my grandfather who mentioned it and I agreed that yes, this sounded like an excellent idea.

It was a bit of an adventure getting there, I had to take two public buses and had no idea where I was going. The ecuator monument is known as Mitad del Mundo or "Middle of the World" so it was kind of funny to constantly be asking people: "can you tell me how to get to the Middle of the World please?" But I did get there and when I did I felt kind of giddy about it. I didn't really know what to do with myself so I took a bunch of photos.

This last one is kind of hilarious because I made at least 8 attempts to get the photo in focus and with the whole E showing (I eventually gave up), only to discover upon walking around the monument that "E" stood for "East" and not "Ecuator." Silly me.
