Touring Antigua

We toured Antigua today which is one of the old capital cities. We found out today that there has actually been five of them. They change them because the capitals have been destroyed several times by volcanic action and earthquakes. It is a very quaint, old town with lots of character. We enjoyed touring an ancient building associated with the Catholic church. We walked on cobblestone streets from 1580 and ate in an authentic Guatemalan restaurant. (nobody is sick yet) The food was okay a little bland unless you put HOT green sauce on it. We are not positive what we ate, but Ken was impressed with how well Kathy ate. Dad was the most impressive; he tried the hot peppers, black beans, and some sausage dish that he said was great. Kathy enjoyed the guacamole the best. None of us chose to eat the cow stomach soup. I wonder why??? We walked a lot, enjoyed seeing many natives, and had everyone trying to talk us into buying their wares. We heard "I give you good price" a lot! Brett and Bri, we thought of you a lot today. You would have enjoyed the sights, but not the smells. We travel to Lake Atitlan tomorrow. We start at 6am so we are going to try for an early night.
