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.

We've made it to Antigua, Guatemala.  Loooooong travel day yesterday, from Choluteca, Honduras to some little truck stop/motel on km 120 of the highway in Guatemala.   The borders.... ah, the borders.  Another story later.

It is beautiful in Antigua, as always.  The weather isn't helping, yet, but lovely just the same.
Having a dog makes finding a hotel difficult, so we rented a house for about the same $ as we spent for a crappy hotel in Honduras.  Excellent!

Some teaser pictures.  Front door, 2nd floor patio, and "Steve's Room".
But now we have a city to walk, so more updates later.
