Antigua es bonita

I arrived somewhat blurry-eyed in Guatemala City this morning (5:30 AM) and after seeing a bit of it, made my way to Antigua which by comparison is utterly divine. Framed on three sides by volcanoes, Antigua's cobblestone roads and colonial archictecture is breathtaking. I think I use the word breathtaking a lot, but I have good reason. I am in a spectacular part of the world.











There are a lot of ruins of cathedrals here. Earthquakes have usually been the cause of the devastation, I believe.

Alas, for kids all the stunning archictecture and scenery still pales in comparison to the allure of a hand-held videogame.
