Our Family Journey

Wednesday, August 30, 2006

We are in beautiful Antigua Guatemala. It is a wonderful city with architecture that is out of this world. We enjoyed a four hour tour of the city yesterday. We visted a jade factory, a couple markets and several churches and cathedrals. The history of Antigua is fascinating. It has survived hurricanes and earthquakes and many of the original buildings still stand. We hope to take another tour this afternoon...possibly of a coffee plantation. The weather is perfect. It requires a sweater in the morning...short sleeves in the afternoon and a sweater again in the evening. It is the rainy season here, so it does rain every afternoon, but the rain keeps everything clean and green!
