Equator

I'm sitting on the equator or so this monument thinks. When GPS first became available to civilians, I bought one and was headed to the Amazon to do some exploring when I decided to go to the place pictured to see how accurate this line really was. When I got there I found that I was some 80 yards north of the actual 00 00 00. I got a cab and had the driver take me to the real equator. When we got their, a side walk just outside a brick factory, I told the driver what we had done and he freaked and jumped out of the cab and started telling people on the street what we had accomplished. Soon we had a crowd of towns folk jumping up and down yelling in spanish "we're at the real Equator"!!!!!............... .
