The Global Mason-Dixon Line
August 18, 2008
On Sunday I took a minibus to the equator! (I don’t get to say sentences like that very often!) It was my first time in the Southern Hemisphere, so I wandered a whole hundred meters to a cafe for an avocado wrap and to a shop benefiting local disadvantaged women to buy some paper mache flower vases. Here I am half in the Northern and half in the Southern Hemispheres, assuming of course that the Uganda Department of Transportation (and Equatorial Line Painting) got their coordinates right.

Ya know…that is WAY COOLER than standing half in Georgia, half in Florida. Yep. Way cooler, indeed.
