Equatorial Divide

Ecuador, a country of beautiful landscapes, has been deemed worthy enough to receive the name denoting its presence in the middle of the earth, although other countries do lie on the said equator.



To be on the equator means a lot of things in physics terms, mostly dealing with opposing forces and effects. I could explain such concepts using my limited high school and university physics knowledge, but there is no need.



The point is, being situated between the north and the south makes water do cool things, causes all sorts of metereological effects, and pulls you in every which way.


The indigenous people realized the importance of their location well before anyone of th Westerners. The sun and stars told never lied, and told them much about their world.

As it is All Saint's Day, or the day after Halloween in North America, I will give my respects to the dead, saints and laymen included. In Ecuador, it is customary to drink Colada Morada, a fruity concoction which goes with sweet stuffed bread. Here's to all my loved ones.
