Just North of Quito is the Mitad del Mundo - Middle of the World. It's not known as the Equator here, as the Spanish word for Equator is Equador, and we're in Equador, so that would be confusing.
We flew South of the Equator on April 1st, 2007 - 14 and a half months ago. We have both ventured into the Northern Hemisphere during that time (Michael to Sumatra, me to Malaysia and on a whistle stop trip to LA and London). However, the majority of our time has been spend 'Down South'. I have loved being 'Down South'. The stars are different. We saw the Big Dipper for the first time in nearly a year just recently. I was happy to see the stars that made me think of home.
