Most of the day was like every other Saturday. We went to Caoba Farms to buy some organic tomatoes, avocados and cucumbers. Bruce and I ran into our friend Deet who we hadn’t seen in awhile. Then we walked up to the weavers market because I wanted to buy six placemats. I saw Ruth yesterday and she said she would have some different colors.
Our next stop was for some frozen yogurt. I had this great stuff yesterday and wanted some today. Pina colada flavor.
We went to the park to eat our yogurt and to people watch. It’s always amazing to see how hard the people work and how hard even the young children work. This young girl was helping her mother sell as well as minding her young brother.
The The avenue was also alive with vendors and street acts. Saturday is a very busy day in Antigua.
For dinner we decided to splurge and go to Posado de Don Rodrigo. The prices were double what we usually pay but the restaurant has music and a floor show. The ambiance was really nice – the woodwork and feel of the place looked authentic.
We had a good time listening to the music and watching the dancers.
The food was adequate and I was surprised that a restaurant that charges nearly double what others do in the area, did not have a better presentation of their fare. In fact, it was so dull I didn’t think to take a picture. Posado de Don Rodriguez was worth it for an evening but I believe once was enough.
Living the life in Antigua!
