Welcome to Antigua



We are in Antigua for the weekend. This is the fountain in the middle of Plaza Mayor, the central park. Antigua is a 500-year-old colonial Spanish city, and was the first capital of Guatemala. So literally, its name is "Antigua Guatemala", or "old Guatemala City".

They moved the capitol due to earthquakes...

Ohhhh, memories of beautiful Antigua!

Walk the grounds at the Casa Santo Domingo - your little man will love seeing all the parrots! :)

We spent almost 4 weeks in Antigua last summer. Paradise.

Hope your ankle is feeling much better!
