mitad del mundo

We went to a museum on the equator when we took the city tour of quito. but this wasnt your average museum. everything was outside and first we were taught about the natives, their history and traditions, of course we got to be tourists and take pictures straddling the equator. They saved the best for last though. the experiments....this is when i realized i truely am a teachers child, because i enjoy games and such when i learn something as well. We found out that water does in fact flow straight down while on the equator. we also did an experiment about strength and the effects of gravity. amazingly you can resist forces from another person much easier on either side of the equator than you can while on it. also walking in a straight line while upon the equator, arms out to the sides proves difficult because the forces pulling you in either direction.
