Antigua


After church we went to see our house. The tenant wasn't there so we only looked at the outside.

While we were waiting we saw this cute lady walk by with a watermelon rind on her head. We thought...only in Guatemala so I ran behind her and took a picture.

Then we went to Amatitlan. We used to go here alot growing up. It used to be such a cute tourist place but now it was all run down and dirty. So we didn't spend too much time there.


We then drove to Antigua. A huge tourist atraction but very pretty. It used to be the capital of Guatemala until a volcano erupted and destroyed it, so they moved the capital to Guatemala City. They have since rebuilt it and it is beautiful. These are a couple of cathedrals.




People try to make money in whatever way the see possible. Here are some of the things we saw:
A person playing all kinds of different musical instruments to make some nice music.


A girl drawing pictures with her feet.

A young girl taking care of her brother while mom worked.

A dad and his sons playing music and dancing.
An elderly lady selling jewelry.
There was a market of many people selling stuff of course.We walked around the park and took a picture.
We listened to a full marimba.
We went to dinner at this cute restaurant.

Here's my drink. Ohhh so good!!
We walked around the streets some more.We looked around this mall that had all kinds of souveniers. These are some of the typical indian dresses.












Luckily we found our car afterwards and went home. We probably got lost looking for our hotel though. :)
