A friendly biker gang in Antigua. |
Severly bored children await their shopping mothers. |
The motorcycles. |
Our first rain. The kids just HAD to sit out in the middle of the street (the street was closed to traffic). |
Whatever. |
Another doorway shot. |
There must be at least a dozen ruins of churches in Antigua. |
Leif on a blue wall. |
Looking back at the cathedral. This is a typical street in Antigua. There aren't many signs on the buildings. You either have to know where you are going, or be surprised at each door you go into. |
Artwork. A Quetzal is about 8 to a dollar. These are handmade quilts. I would have bought you all one, but didn't have room in my suitcase - so here you go.... |
More quilts. |
Interesting artwork at a big shop. |
501 ways to decorate a cross. |
Interesting contrast. |
A fountain near the square. |
Close up of the fountain. |
What the outside of the McDonald's looks like. There was one McDonald's and one Burger King in town. Other than that, there were no western influences other than clothing brands. |
This Mayan marketwoman is talking on her cell phone. |
Roma doorway #345 |
Close up of door. |
Looking down the hallway of the hotel we stayed in the first two days when we were with Sula. |
Outside the door to our school, Centro Linguistico International. The kids thought this door was spooky. |
Doorway #346. (I'm sorry, but I really like doors) |
A ruin that we passed on our walk from the school to our family's house. This one is called Nuestra Senora de Candelaria. |
Another shot of the ruins of the cathedral. |
Close up. The cathedral was built back in the 1500's. The plaster over the brick is interesting. |
Door details. |
Big bamboo. |
Mayan whistle sculptures. |
A Mayan ceremonial costume. |
