The day at the Equator

As some of you know my mom, dad, and sister came to Uganda to visit. Of course when your family comes to visit you have to show them around. So one day we when to the Equator, the Equator goes right through the Uganda, Kampala is about 2 degrees north of the Equator. So we drove 2.5 hours west to the Equator. When we got there I was very surprised at what I saw. There was nothing there, and I mean nothing at all about 5 stores that sell the same things. The reason that I was so surprised was because in America we would of made a huge deal out of it, you know make a day out of it. There was this stand there that you can pour water into a bowl, and on the south side of the equator the water goes counter clockwise, on the line it goes straight down, and on the north side it goes clockwise. There was this place to stop and eat so we went to see what they had and they were selling Rolexs the food there and it cost 5700 ugx I was in shock because normal price was 700 ugx. SO that was r day at the Equator.
