Antigua. Spanish charm and Mayan color.

Of all the postings in this travelogue, this one was the hardest one to put together. I started with my usual style of describing my day was like and then using photos to help the story along. About two paragraphs into writing the posting, I trashed the draft because it wouldn't have conveyed what I wanted to say about Antigua.

Birthday Boy!!

Everyone was in on the plan except the Birthday Boy, of course. We would go to a deli to pick up food for lunch and then head over to Posada Los Bucaros to eat. Waiting there would be dessert. A birthday cake and other treats for my brother because today was his birthday!!

I got Sue in the act about a week ago when told her I wanted to have everyone help him celebrate the day. She organized everything and turned it into a wonderful surprise party for him!

Food Porn. Street style.

Usually, my food porn pics are all of food placed nicely on dishes. I try to get a good angle to take the picture so as to show off the food at its best.

We ate at restaurants and we had good meals and we so-so meals. I only had one meal that no amount of money in the world would be sufficient reward to try it again.

Semana Santa Processions. Easter Sunday at Iglesia San Pedro.

Today was a day of joyous celebration for it was the day that all of Antigua celebrated the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and I was lucky to have been a part of it.

Only one procession was scheduled and that was the one leading out of San Pedro Church.
