 |
| The start of our adventure! We flew from Miami straight into Guatemala City - couldn't have been easier... |
 |
| Big city! Happy we are headed to a smaller town. |
 |
| It's about an hour to get from the airport to Antigua. This is home for the next six weeks - Casa Matilde. |
 |
| Nice place with five bedrooms (three with private bathrooms) for guests and then a room for the owner - Mario. |
 |
| Our room for the first two weeks - then we moved upstairs to a private bathroom. No heat or air conditioning in these rooms. Even though it got cold at night (in the 40's -50's) we were never cold - the building is well insulated and holds the heat from the day. |
 |
| No hot water tanks - the only way to get hot water for showers is to set it just right. "you can take a hot shower or a high pressure shower - not both" |
 |
| Dining room - where we did most of our visiting |
 |
| Kitchen - the sink is down the hall. |
 |
| From the top deck - we were fortunate enough to be able to do laundry here - everything is dried on the line. |
 |
| The view from the top deck - Volcan de Fuego |
 |
| Nightly socializing time during dishes with the gang. |
 |
| Scott, Fred and Mario |
 |
| Another view from the deck - that's Volcan de Agua |
 |
| We went out to dinner one night and enjoyed the music |
 |
| traditional Mayan dancers during dinner |

 |
| So thankful for this group (and Sara!) - they made our trip that much more fun! Mario was a great host - we just need to learn more Spanish so we can go back and visit more! |
