December 20. Antigua, Guatemala. Part 1 of 4.

Ciel arranged for the four of us plus Rita, a crew member, Bob, a ship entertainer, and Bob's sister Debbie, to rent a van to take us to Antigua. Since we were going to be in Guatemala over night, we decided to spend the night in Antigua.

After a one and three-quarter hours drive, we arrived in Antigua, looked around, and checked out the gorgeous Santo Domingo Hotel. This a 5 star hotel. Desmond Tutu and his family stayed here.

Creative succulent Christmas tree.

Look at those hanging orchids!

The "ruins" of an old convent.

More textiles for sale!

Gorgeous dining room.

Desmond Tutu and his wife in the lobby.

Mosaic made out of beans.
