    • The road to Antigua snakes its way through the mountains. Antigua is situated in a valley. It is nestled in front of Volcan de Agua. Just out on the outskirts of Antigua the houses are full of charm. I love the architecture.

    • The Antigua valley is beautiful. But historically it has been a dangerous place to live. Earthquakes and the surrounding volcanoes have laid waste to much of the valley. Time and time again Antigua has been reconstructed.

    • Not only are the homes colorful in Antigua but there is so much more in a decorative sense. Here a basic gate becomes a decorative wall with a coat of arms and a fountain. Fountains are abundant in Guatemala.

    • There isn't much outside Antigua, but if you want a feel for the local flavor of coffee and architecture venture out into Jocotenango. You may notice arches are common in government buildings. The coffe plantation is just outside Antigua. It is brewed fresh daily.

    • Local church in Jocotenango just outside Antigua. Notice the detailing in all the churches and the colors.
