Journey to the Middle of the Earth
After breakfast we headed over to a place near the hotel that teaches salsa lessons. In order to avoid dancing last night I promised Em I would take a lesson today to brush up.
We signed up for a 4:00 class and then headed off to the equator. It is located about an hour outside of Quito but it took us about 2 hours to get there after several confusing bus transfers.
Surrounding the equator location where the buses drop you off is a tourist trap village that vaguely resembles Disney Land. Still you get to cross between the northern and southern Hemispheres as the line is clearly marked. We ate lunch at one of the many restaurants in the park, took some photos, and then headed back into Quito.
Once back in town we had to head directly over to our salsa lesson. We actually signed up for two and both instructors were extremely nice (and patient with me).
After the lessons we had some dinner, checked the internet, and then it was off to bed.
