La Antigua, Guatemala, A wonderful city to See. - We had a terrific tour in La Antigua. Our tour guide was right on time, explained whatand when we were doing activities. Off we went to an excellent day of learning about La Antigua. He kept us moving and told us interesting stories and facts of the different places we went. Lunch was terrific. We enjoyed trying on the local clothes and learning how the local women made their clothes. Our stroll through the Casa Santo Domingo, was delightful.
