catequilla
Saturday. Hiked up to Catequilla with Paralelo. It's a hill north of San Antonio with the remains of a pre-Inca site on top, a half circle of stones. Nobody else was there except a man with goats.
The Garmin says the site sits almost exactly on the equator. Almost. A few metres. People here knew where the middle of the world was long before the French arrived with their chains.
Sat on the stones and ate Carmen's empanadas. Paralelo ate one too. The volcanoes all around, Cayambe white in the east. I don't think I've been this happy since I retired.
