We had to stop in Guayaquil Equador for fuel on the way to Lima. The area is very hot and humid with rivers everywhere. Lot's of mesquitos and I am sure all kinds of other goodies. The approach and landing were beautiful though as long as I dont have to live there.
There is a run way out there on the other side of the river.

The flight down was a little of everything, clouds, some ice some beauty some bumps - you know a normal flight. The hotel in Lima is really nice - a five star.
Answer to the pop quiz. The North Latitude was counting down to zero because I was crossing the equator- I almost got the photo at zero but I got so excited that I blurred the photo so as close as I got was 4 seconds. Note the time as it was 17:15 zulu time or 12:15 PM local time so the sun was at it's height in the sky at the equator so I was as close as I was ever going to get to the sun in my whole life. I worried that my wings would melt but they didn't. Actually it was very exciting for me..
