We visited the equator today, which was a really cool outing. There were actually three different museums, all claiming to have the "real" equator. At the main big one, they had a whole complex of souvenir shops and pavilions and a monument and whatnot, although that one is generally believed to be off by about 240 meters. It was neat, though, and we took a bunch of silly pictures. A little ways down, I found this church, right on the equator. I imagine it's popular for weddings!
At the GPS equator, they did all kinds of things like showing you which way the water flowed down a drain on each side of it, and right on the line (don't worry, I got videos) and letting you balance an egg on a nail (pretty easy!)
