Antes de llegar a la capital,\u00a0 visitamos el museo del centro del mundo (el de verdad, descubierto por los nativos, no por los errados cient\u00edficos franceses). Ah\u00ed ocurren cosas. Por ejemplo, el agua cae por el desag\u00fce sin remolino, el equilibrio humano es m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil que el de un huevo en la punta de un clavo, y los gu\u00edas te ense\u00f1an cabezas humanas disecadas muy peque\u00f1as. Tambi\u00e9n hay cosas que no pasan nunca, como los ciclones o que en verano amanezca antes. Todos los d\u00edas a las 6, como nuestra expedici\u00f3n en d\u00eda laboral.<\/p>\n<p>En Quito fuimos a un mercado donde poder comprar cosas como coca (en crema, hojas o t\u00e9), imanes de nevera o ropa. Despu\u00e9s cenamos carne con zumos y nos despedimos de gente como Wilson, nuesto magn\u00edfico gu\u00eda y una de esas buenas personas que el mundo necesita para ser un lugar mejor. Ahora estamos en la sala del aeropuerto refunfu\u00f1ando por pagar 3 euros por una botella de agua como la que acabamos de tirar. Pero, creo, muy satisfechos de una semana en que creemos haber sido \u00fatiles y, quiz\u00e1 por eso, felices.<\/p>\n<p>Today we got up very late: 7:30am! We traveled in our lit up bus to Quito, stopping for lunch on the way. Before arriving at the capital, we visited the museum of the center of the world (the true one, discovered by the natives, not like the mistaken French). Things happen there. For example, water drains without a whirpool, human equilibrium is harder than the equilibrium of an egg on the top of a nail, and the guides show very small stuffed human heads. There are also things that never happen in the Equatorian line, such as hurricanes or earlier sunrises in summer. Everyday the sun rises at 6..<\/p>\n<p>In Quito we went to a market in which you can buy stuff such as coca (in lotion, leaves or tea), small magnetic llamas or clothes. Afterwards, we ate meat with juices and said goodbye to people like Wilson, our magnificent guide and one of those good persons the world needs to be a better place. Now we are in the airport lounge whining for paying 3 dollars for the same water bottle we just had to throw away. But, I guess, still very satisfied after a week in which we think we&#8217;ve been useful and, maybe because of that, happy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hoy nos levantamos tard\u00edsimo: \u00a1a las 7:30 am!
