Antigua




Antigua is lovely. There are many foreigners here studying Spanish (there are about 75 language schools here!) but the architecture, food, and pace of life gives one a small taste of life in Guatemala. I had the opportunity the other night to participate in hacer una alfombra - making a rug. The rug is made by laying out large pine needles and flowers on the cobblestone streets - and as the church procession comes by carrying the statue of Jesus, they walk over the rug!
