We arrived in Antigua on Thursday. We took a shuttle (read: minivan), during the ride, two of the seat-backs broke, including the ONE we were sharing. People got out along the way, though, so it wasn´t as bad as the ride from Chiquimula.
Antigua is a beautiful town. It used to be the colonial capital of all of Central America. It sits in between three volcanoes, one of which is active... lava flows everyday. We are not going to climb it as our tour book says that people have died recently from the sulfur and rocks being spewed at them. Doesn´t sound all that fun to us. Instead, we are hanging around the town and making arrangements for the next leg of our jouney. More later.
