First Day in Antigua

So, we´re here.  To start, I will say that Antigua is a very pretty town, but there are also equal amounts of tourists and locals, so I would not put it in the "real Guatamala" category.  The streets here are all made of cobblestone and the buildings are mostly one story, with alternating yellow and pink colors.  The locals are very friendly and getting around is easy.  There are "American" style bars (with American style prices) and we were even able to watch the Packers and Vikings games yesterday (Go Pack!).  Street vendors are ubiquitous, and the food is very good and cheap.  At the center of town is a large church and views of the whole city can be seen from Cerro de la Cruz.  In a few hours, we're off to Panajachel and then by boat to San Pedro La Laguna, where we will study Spanish.  That's it for now...
