Wednesday- Antigua Day

Today was our day to visit Antigua which is touristy type of town, rich with history. In the morning we drove there and ate breakfast in a hotel named Santo Domingo, which is a hotel that was built into the ruins of a monastery. It was a wonderful buffet style breakfast with omelets, fresh fruit and juice, potatoes, breads and cheeses. We explored around the ruins and watched one of the volcanoes periodically blow out some ash clouds!!

After breakfast we walked through a catholic church, known for Hermano Pedro, who is one of the catholic saints from Guatemala. And also climbed around the ruins there also. Following our historic adventures, we got to visit the artisan market of Antigua and buy some souvenirs. (t-sihrts, blankets, knives, shoes, jackets, jewelry etc.)

For dinner, we had eggs and black beans, and then had a great evening hanging out with the kids, playing soccer, and enjoying some jokes that may, or may not, translate across the languages. We had some good laughs. Below are some photos of the day. Tomorrow we are back at work.
