A
beautiful day for our excursion to Guatamala City
Because of the hot, humid climate at the coast,
most people live inland.
We
have a long bus ride ahead of us
|
|
|
|
Past fields of sugar cane
|
A
steaming volano is visible along the route |
|
|
The
Main Square and Park of Colonial Antigua
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
tour began and ended
at this fountain
|
|
We
toured the church |
|
|
|
|
|
A
local tradition is to
approach the altar on your knees
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We walked through the Old Town |
The volcano is visible in the distance |
|
|
|

|
During
an eruption this church was spared from destruction
|
|

|
We
had a buffet lunch at a local restaurant |
|
|
Everything
tastes better
with
local beer
|

Back in Port
