Jill and I were excited to take a week's vacation in Antigua, Guatemala. We give Antigua two thumbs up as a tourist destination. The city is clean, the people gracious, and the presence of tourist police makes it feel secure. Our favorite feature: cool air. Daytime highs on Utila are running a humid 94; nighttime lows are 82. Antigua humidity was low and temperatures a good 15 to 20 degrees less. Places in Antigua don't have air conditioning and don't need it!
