Mitad del mundo (centre of the world)

The centre of the world is in quito in ecuador. We were on our way, but as usual abz got distractied by food! Gotta love meat on a stick!













Us at the centre of the world!













In the olden days there was a tradition of taking the heads of important people or enemies and shrinking their heads. the enemy heads would be worn around the neck as a sort of trophy. this is an actual head after it has gone through the shrinking process.














At the centre of the world supposedly there are no forces pulling either side. one of the tests of this is to balance and egg on a nail. unfortunately it was so windy that we werent able to do it.
