After saying good bye to our kind hosts in Guatemala City we drove to the Colonial Capital, Antigua. I thought I knew what to expect yet I was taken back by it's beauty. The ruins of its churches are worthy of Caspar David Friedrich's paintings. The atmosphere is that of a vibrant, fresh and living city, not a ruin of a capital that was abandoned for a more secure place.
