~ When we approached the Nanyuki Equator sign Anthony asked if we'd like to briefly stop for photos. It was decided to do so, despite the presence of hawkers and touts. I've passed this particular sign a number of times — sometimes stopping, other times not. The ebullient mood we felt made the photo stop fun, with equatorial sunshine overhead. It required patience and finesse to take these portraits without others in the frame, importuning us to buy this or that knickknack as a souvenir of transiting the Equator. Does this occur elsewhere?
