Returning to Guatemala.

February 17, 2023

We arrived in Guatemala city in the afternoon.

It was warm and sunny.

On our drive to Antigua the city was as busy as I remember it being in February 2020.

Typical Friday afternoon traffic of people leaving the city for the weekend.

Where were they going?

Cars, Flatas, (small pick up trucks with a bar going down the center of the bed of truck which you hold on to as best you can, more prominent in urban areas) and Chicken buses were everywhere.

Once we arrived in Antigua, we learned that the electricity was off everywhere.

We were staying with friends so they were well well equipped with candles and flashlights!

Then you have the volcanoes in the background!

No matter where you walk in Antigua a volcano hovers in the background - what a sight!

The electricity came back on around 9.00pm

Digger our class crab made the trip with us.
