Just so that you have an idea as to where I am, here's a map of Ecuador. I'm in Quito, in Andean Ecuador.
Today, I went to Mitad del Mundo, the place just north of Quito where measurements were taken that proved that the Ecuator was where it is. To mark the spot, a large monument has been built with a globe on top and, to make matters easier for those without a compass, a handy line has been marked so that you know which side of the Equator you are on at any given moment. I'll post a picture when I get back.
