Millers in Antigua

Like any good Guatemala tour, we made a trip to Antigua. It is just such a unique town and so different from Guatemala City. The architecture there is beautiful and when it is clear and you can see the volcanoes, it's so nice!! So we got back from Rio Dulce on Saturday night and got up Sunday morning to head to Antigua before Mike and Gretchen had to fly out on Sunday night. We had beautiful weather and a nice day full of shopping and fun! They even got to experience some Guatemalan classics while here, we passed two dead bodies on the side of the road on our way to Antigua and they felt a tremor while shopping in Antigua!!

Mike and Gretchen with the famous arch in Antigua. This arch was built for a church so they could pass over from the church to where they lived without having to go out in public and cross the street!



One of my favorite pictures of the arch, with the blue sky and the volcano coming through behind it!


Of course a trip to the Sky Bar, one of my favorite places to visit with a nice view!


It was so fun to see the Millers and get to spend time with them!!! In Korea everyone asked if Gretchen and I were sisters. Since we are both from Missouri and we have a lot in common, we just started calling each other our long lost sisters!


Sisters!!!


When we got ready to leave, there was a parade of some sort going on. Well we followed it......all the way back to our car!!!! It took us another 45 minutes to wait out the parade before we could move the car and leave!!!
