Guatemala--Day 9


Guatemala Day 9

I woke up at 5:30am to see the group off.  It was bittersweet as I made a bunch of new friends and hope I am able to stay in contact with them in the future.  They headed off on the to bus Guatemala City and I went back to bed.  The 3 of us remaining left Santiago at 10am for another winding trip back towards the city. We stopped in a town called Antigua, which is a beautiful little place and very touristy.  The city has strong Spanish architectural  influence and gorgeous buildings with cobblestone streets and a central city park.  The area was ruined by an earthquake, so there are many buildings partially destroyed, some restored. We just spent the day seeing the city and eating great food, and we are heading to bed early as we head out on an early flight to Tikal.

Here are some more pictures:
