Today I stepped foot on the North and South hemisphere. A few of us from the hostel went to Mitad del Mundo which is where there is a big monument of the world and a line showing the equator. Of course you pay to get in and there are shops selling crafts and other displays. It seemed kind of silly to go just so you can say you stood on two different hemispheres but how can you not go when it's only an hour away. And now I get to say I stepped on 2 different hemispheres at the same time.
So there's this big park for it but when GPS came along the equator was actually 300 meters over so there is this other site claiming to be the actual equator site. Which we visited as well. And we took pictures at both places. The other site has all these gimmicks like balancing an egg on a nail and water turning in different directions when it's moved a few feet over the equator line. Over all it was a fun day.
