First Trip to Antigua






This past Sunday we made our first trip to Antigua. It is a very charming city full of Spanish colonial architecture. The city boasts over 40 churches and I lost count after seeing 12 churches in a matter of hours. Some of those are pictured above. From the colorful houses and cobblestone streets to the beautiful restaurants and so much more, there is a lot more Antigua that we hope to discover. My favorite place on this trip was the park in the center of town with its very special fountain. Look closely and you will notice what I mean. In addition, I really liked the family playing traditional instruments in the street. If you look closely you can see that the drums the boy is playing are actually turtle shells.
