Considering we are several days behind I will be brief about Friday. Friday was an off day for us. We were given the entire day to explore Antigua and explore we did. Antigua is an amazingly beautiful city and despite spending 6+ hours walking around it, I still feel like I did not see enough.
One of the biggest events of Friday was shopping at the market. We spent over 3 hours at the market site-seeing, bargaining, and buying some extremely amazing stuff (most of which was hand made).
Friday ended with an authentic Guatemalan dinner at a hole-in-the-wall type deli restaurant. Everything on our plate was deep fried I think. And like most Guatemalan meals it contained refried beans. One such unique place to find these beans was in the “dessert”. Fried plantain stuffed with beans sweetened by sugar. Strangely enough, it was good!
We returned to our hotel exhausted that night. As I crawled into the full size bed at the hotel I did not realize just how much I would long for this bed in less than 24 hours.
Goodbye for now Antigua, San Cristobal – here we come!
