Want to know what the Equator looks like?

Here it is just south of Quito, Ecuador. The tall building with the directions, North, South, East, West supposedly straddle it, and the yellow line you see is IT. Some of the locals told water flows in opposite directions in two sort of basins that can be found on each side of Equator. The area is known, in Spanish, as Mitad Del Mundo.

Beauty of Quito, Ecuador

The wonder of Quito to me is its color. Everywhere you look there is interesting, eye-stopping color. It is in the buildings and the people, too. I attach just a few of the photos of this beautiful city that is at the Middle of the World. These men are members of the guard at the Presidential Palace in Quito. They change on Monday of each week. They all carry spears or lances made from bamboo and wear spurs.
