Bonnie and I bumped into Sue on her new motorbike.

Love this door knocker

Morning glories just suddenly burst into bloom

Richard admiring Maureen's banana plant, which apparently is a berry! And a strawberry is not a berry!! Who knew?

Tommy, Liza, Richard at a party at Maureen's.

Great doorway, and magnificent blue sky.

We occasionally see fabulous old cars here.

            Pensive Richard at Toko Baru

                             Is this Mary?

Cool grill on door, reminding me of Icelandic runes.

Another wall with multiple layers of paint. I wonder what will be next?

             Another bird, another fountain. 

          Part of San Sebastian Church ruins.

          Richard thinks this is a 1964 Bel Air

Antigua, Guatemala Week 3

More photos from around Antigua:

Blue skies, smiling on me ...

Art installation by Sheila Hicks, called Peregrinación, made of bamboo wrapped in textiles.

As it is nearing Lent, the stations of the cross on the way to El Calvario are open to view.

 

Hungry but well behaved dig eyeing my papusas. I shared.

And eyeing Richard's sandwich. He didn't share.

Preparation of my papusas. They were delicious.

Awesome cafe created by connecting these two chicken buses.

Fuego poufing.

Bonnie organized a Chilifest as a fundraiser for Casa Sito. It was a huge success and a good time was had by all. They even had a mechanical bull with soft landing pad.

Great country and western band.

Tess, above, has for many years organized the cleft palate surgeries here. Through her work, many hundreds of children's lives have been improved. 

Friends having a chin wag.

Feral cats patiently waiting for breakfast.

Blue corn tortillas. The cooks asked not to be in the photo.

More poufs from Fuego.

Cool dude by a cool wall.

The fruit here is fabulous.
