Quito, Ecuador
Hey everyone, so the foot´s pretty much all better which i know you will all be thrilled to hear. Right now i am in Quito Ecuador. I arrived a few days ago into the scene that this city is. It´s pretty hoppin. Quite a change from guatemala that´s for sure. Yesterday I went and stood with one foot in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern. pretty coooool. but it´s also pretty hilarious because there is a big monument with an official line that was put there a long time ago and it´s a big deal buuuut it´s WRONG. haha. the actual equator is about 250 metres south (worked out using military gps). I don´t know, for being what it is (a place on the earth) it was pretty cool...they did some tests to ¨prove¨that it was acutally the equator. they took a basin of water and drained it on both sides and then in the middle and the water swirled in different directions on either side and straight down, i kid you not, on the line itself. tomorrow i am going to leave for guayaquil, a city on the coast where i will take a boat the la isla de puna to start working on a shrimp farm. i hope it will be good. i forgot my camera cable, so i can´t put up any photos, but i will. i will. peace out.
