Our hotel, Hotel Sol-Mor, had a beautiful courtyard. |
| We never learned this permanent resident's name but he speaks Spanish (or so we thought) and enjoyed the pancakes (umm, panqueques, that is) as much as we did. |  |
 |
The hotel cat, Niña, befriended Jill and me. |
| The city is filled with cathedrals. Several have not been restored since the earthquakes that damaged them. |  |
 |
That's me in front of this one. |
| Several of the churches are beautifully restored and maintained. We passed this one each day walking from the hotel. (It's just as beautiful on the inside.) |  |
 |
I love going to fast food places in other countries. This is a view of the Burger King menu from the second level seating area. |
| Antigua is in a valley surrounded by beautiful mountains. |  |

One of the negatives... At times, street vendors hounded us relentlessly. Leslie was the worst! Guatemala is a bartering country. Leslie came down to 35 quetzales ($4.50) on the table runner but wanted 5 more quetzales to have her picture taken. (How much more would a smile have cost?) |
