Midad El Mundo - Middle of the World

French explorers identified a point as the middle of the world and created a giant monument. Just a few years ago, with GPS technology found out that the middle of the world is a few hundred meters from the originally identified spot.   Now at the "official middle of the world" there is an indigenous run tour that explains about indigeous life and quirky facts about the middle of the world.  I was able to balance and egg upright on a nail, they calimed that it was due to the gravitational forces but I’m not sure.  Either way it was a fun tourist excursion with our German and British friends.
