¡Guate!
Wow… it’s been a long day… I woke up at 4am in order to get to my bus which left La Ceiba, Honduras at 5am and I only got into Antigua, Guatemala at like 8:30pm… that’s a long friggin day right there… but the bus investment paid off… the bus was WAY comfortable and there was beverage/snack service… which was nice cause then I didn’t have to buy any food when the bus would stop for a break…
So Antigua… the first place I’ve been that I ‘ve been to before… almost 4 years ago now… and it’s changed quite a bit since then… (as much as a 500 year old city with no new construction allowed can)… there’s a lot of fancy restaurants and american fastfood restaurants around… and even though they’re inside old buildings, it still takes away from the effect of the place… basically a crumbling colonial city… I’ll take some pictures tomorrow when it’s light out and post them tomorrow… It’s really the kind of place where you can’t take a bad picture… there’s earthquake tumbled old cathedrals all over town and beautiful old colonial homes.. with volcanoes in every direction… it’s a lot like Granada in Nicaragua… but somehow a bit prettier… if over gringofied these days…
But that’s what’s up…
