Today is the day we got to visit the tourist town of Antigua. We live in San Pedro a las Huertes, a few minutes outside of Antigua. We traveled over the speed bumps, on the cobblestone, through tightly packed streets to reach Antigua. It was a nice afternoon trip. We got to see all the colonial buildings, the famous arch, the cobblestone streets, and just the history of the place. There was one store that Bob had to pray over because of its idols and masks that the Mayans worship. It was kind of depressing. The whole town of Antigua was such a beautiful place. After seeing the main square, we went through the famous arch, past a cool looking church and through a crazy Guatemalan market, where one could easily get lost. Groups of two had to go looking for a piece of fruit for the dessert's fruit salad. I had no problem finding the cantaloupe. It was such a neat atmosphere and I can't wait for my next visit there.
