Visiting the Equator in Ecuador

Yesterday a group of us went to the Equator! And did you know there are two of them? One was from before GPS and the other was established afterward. We went to the real one first. It was like a mini-epcott with all these little huts where a tour guide would take you to learn about the indigenous peoples who lived on the equator many moons ago. It was really cool. We learned about the Tzantza technique of shrinking decapitated enemies' heads and wearing them around the neck as a symbol of honor. We also got to do all these cool tricks that only happen on the equator - like balancing an egg on a nail - which I successfully did and received a certificate for!
At the fake equator (which was much more grand since it has been around for much longer) we went up this tower that offerred great views of the city. Surprisingly, it wasn't hot on the equator. It was actually kind-of chilly with the wind. Well - you can't visit Ecuador without visiting the Equator, can you?
