Thursday, 3/7. Simple day. Attended a concert in a school for autistic children. Included singing and dancing performances. Inspiring.
Stood on the Equator, though there remains some suspicion that I didn’t. The French marked a spot in 1736 that was proven 240 meters too far south. The privately owned touristy museum we visited has a line they say is GPS proven, though Wikipedia has unspecified criticism. Google Earth indicates we were 130 meters too far south.
Museum of Ancient Ecuador. The building was an echo chamber, so I could hear very little from the tour guide.
Not much else today. We leave at 4:45 tomorrow AM for the airport to the Galapagos Islands. One night in a hotel on the main island (with wifi I’m told). Then three nights on board a 16 passenger ship. No wifi.
Concert with autistic children (and a few of their teachers). 
South America’s version of the United Nations. Just completed for $50 million. Last month half the South American countries withdrew. Ouch. 
A real shrunken head. About the size of a fist. 
I don’t consider the silly act of standing on the Equator a Bucket List accomplishment. But here I am anyway. Or not.
Great post đŸ˜„
