Wrapping Things Up In Guatemala

Company is all gone and we had several days to wind down in Antigua.  Unfortunately, Bruce and I had colds so our last few days were uneventful.  After Keith left, we hung around the apartment reading and relaxing.  I even cooked the one and only time during our trip.  I made a spinach, tomato and cheese omelet.

Sunday we went to Cafe Barista for our morning coffee.  We stayed there a few hours  talking with some people we knew.

 

On Sunday nights a group of women meet on the corner of 6 and 6.  We meet up for Sunday supper.  Deet Lewis, a resident of Antigua, has been bringing women together for Sunday supper for many years.  It was a nice time at the Rainbow Cafe.

Afterwards, I met up with Bruce at Central Park and then headed home.

Monday we had lunch at the Porto Hotel.  It’s a lovely setting and I am always tempted to jump in the pool.

 

We met up with Elba who just completed a runner for me.  She had the cutest little granddaughter.

 

Later that day we had coffee with friends and said our goodbyes to those we wouldn’t see again.

Tuesday, we met our friends, Patty and Chris for breakfast at San Martin.

 

After we ate we all went to the rooftop to see the volcanoes.

 

At the park we said our goodbyes to Clara.

 

We met up with our favorite peanut man, Manuel.  His mom, Christina and brother Carlos were there.  Carlos saw us and shouted out, “mi amigos.”

On Wednesday, we went to the park and met up with Ruth.  We said our goodbyes to Ruth and Oscar.

We had lunch at Luna de Miel, our favorite crepe place.

We could see Fuego from there but it was pretty quiet.

I had coffee with my friend Adrianna and then we said our goodbyes until next year unless I decide to go to Malaga.

For dinner we ate at our favorite little restaurant, Mamas.  I had spanakopita and Bruce had pasta.

We had a lot to pack.  I hate that about going away.  Packing up dirty clothes ykkk!

Alexandro picked us up in the morning and finally headed back to the states!

See you next year Antigua!

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
