Guatemala Day 8 - Antigua - Aug 6

Our last full day in Guatemala. It was so fun and we didn't want it to end! This house that we stayed in was very beautiful too!!!


The three girls bought these cute tops!

The kids were always playing something
The streets in Antigua.

We needed breakfast and found a Pollo Campero. Everyone was taking advantage of the the WIFI while we waited.



After breakfast it was shopping time at the market :)



After shopping for a while Chepe met up with us and took us to a small town not to far from Antigua called San Felipe. There was another market there. 


Chepe getting his shoes shined. Chepe wanted to spend time with us so he took a bus to Antigua so he could spend the day with us. He was in an accident a while ago and he walks around with a cane but he wants to help whenever possible.

When there are licuados we stopped to have some.

Since it was the last day we didn't care where we ate. So we had mixtas from this street vendor. They were delicious!

Julio and his kids didn't want to eat on from the street vendors so they came to this restaurant. We joined them a little later and the WIFI again!


The triplet cousins!

We then drove to this other little town that Chepe recommended. It was called Santa Maria de Jesus. It wasn't a tourist place and so it was so nice to visit. This is where the women come to do their wash by hand. My dad mentioned that this is how his mom washed their clothes when they were little. They would have to go really early in the morning to reserve their spot.

I love everything about this picture!








Afterwards we went back to Antigua to have dinner at a restaurant that played marimba.

I love Antigua. We often would go visit to get out of the city. It's not a great representation of the country as a whole because it's so touristy but it is beautiful.
