Antigua....  you coy little minx.  For two days we've walked your streets, looking hopefully at the flanks of your beautiful volcanoes, in vain, for you hid behind a veil of mist and rain.

Of course it is today, as we arise early for  long road trip, you cast aside your gauzy shroud and impress us with your beauty, challenging us to leave you by finally revealing your full splendor.  I would say that I hate you for it, but how can I hate such loveliness? 

You're a cruel lover, Antigua, and a rare gem.
I can't wait to return, but for now I must push on towards Mexico.
