Roaming Around Antigua

We had a busy couple of days.  Yesterday we had our friends, Patty and Chris, over for coffee.  After sitting around a few hours, we decided to go out walking.  We went to the market looking at all the beautiful items.  I had a piece I needed ends finished and this lovely woman, Nelly, finished it for me.

Her son, Isaac, was a great salesman.  I found quite a few great finds there.

After what seemed like hours in the market it was time to chow down.  We went to this cute little restaurant, Chez Christophe.

We had a delicious meal.  I had spatzle with mushroom and bacon.  Bruce had tuna carpaccio and Patty and Chris had a salad and pizza.

After dinner we headed home and called it a day.

Today our first stop was the park.  We ran into Ruth and made a purchase of a beautiful runner.

We had lunch at Cafe Contessa with Bruce’s friend Scott and his brother-in-law, Ted. They make a delicious tomato quiche.  After lunch we went to the bodegona which is a large supermarket.  We needed to get a few things there including bug spray to kill the little ants in our apartment.  The bodegona is always a zoo and The aisles very narrow.  I escaped with my mental health in tact though  I needed a cup of coffee to get through the afternoon.  We just happened to be passing Guate Java one of our regular coffee cafes from last year.

This evening we went to a costume party at Caoba Farms.  Actually it turned out to be a costume party for kids but Ted still dressed up.

I am clocking quite a few steps walking around Antigua.
