This past week we went to Mitad del Mundo (Middle of the Earth) with our friend Vasanti from Arizona. We got to do some fun tricks on the equator because of the way magnetic forces and gravity work there. You can check out the video of watching which way water swirls on the equator and in both hemispheres. Greg was able to balance an egg on a nail head, and we all took turns using a blow dart gun used by some tribes to hunt. None of us hit our cactus targets. We were also lighter (approx 4-6 lbs! ) on the equator. We also learned about the indigenous cultures of Ecuador and saw some shrunken heads (but we didnt get any good pics- sorry!).

Amy are you sleep walking across the red line? Looks like a fun place to visit...I could use some of that 4-6 lbs lighter stuff right about now. :) Have fun!
So cool! Our world (and the God who made it) amazes me!
Oh boy, now I know we have to go there when we visit - 4-6 pounds lighter; I may want to move there! (only kidding) However, it will be a blast going there - we are excited about our visit. Those are wonderful pictures of you both - you look healthy and happy :) It's so reassuring to see pictures of you every now and then - thanks for all the photos you have posted and we're glad you have the opportunity to do some exploring and have some fun while you're there. Love, Mom & Dad B.
