• well we finally got here too….gina and i that is.  our fligt down was rather uneventful as well.  the only problem was there was no one at the airport to pick us up….sigh.  we flagged down a taxi (with Ervin´s help) and headed for antigua from there.  gina was scared for our luggage that was stashed up top (with nothing holding it down)  and you know how the roads are down here and they wanted to put my violin up there!!!!!!  as you may have guessed i opted to hold it.   we finally got to our ´primative´ room around 12:30 and crashed. 

  
  

  today was spent touring the beautiful town of antigua.  it´s abslutely gorgeous!!!!  all the streets are cobblestone and it´s so exquisite.  lots of charming little coffee shops and cafes everywhere!  oh and the courtyards and gardens are so romantic   seriously every cafe library and school have gardens in the middle.  we all like filled up a whole roll of pictures with all the gardens we saw.

  
  

  central park was quite an experience.  the children are the cutest!  and they all have exactly what You need   it´s so hard to resist the big pleading brown eyes looking up at you.  we all broke down and bought bandanas, coin purses, hand bags, nuts.  and for breakfast we had 2 bananas (for 1 US dollar!   mucho dinero!!!)

  
  

  now we are enjoying the lovely spanish music from a fiesta next door. and it´s time to hit the sack soon!!
