I spoke with Kim from North Dalota on Friday and gave her a visa numbr so she could make the arrangements for the pick-up and drop-off to and from the host family. By next week she said she will have the information about my host family. Holly gave me a large bag of Aleya's clothes which are in very good condition and will no doubt make several little girls happy. I will email all my other friends and ask for their hand me downs so I can take them with me. Reading about Antigua makes it easier because it sounds like a beautiful and fairly safe city."Antigua sits in a Highland valley (1,500 meters) overlooked by the spectacular Agua Volcano (3,765 meters high). A little further away are two other volcanoes Acatenango and the always smoking, sometimes erupting, Fuego. The neighboring towns and villages include Ciudad Vieja, Jocotenango, San Juan El Obispo, Santa María de Jesús, San Bartolomé Milpas Altas and Santa Catalina Barahona. Each of these towns is worth a visit, even if only to view their historic colonial churches. Antigua’s kitchen offers a palate-pleasing combination of traditional flavors, aromas and condiments that produce a delicious, nutritious and varied menu, something you cannot miss. Antigua is also noted for its crafts: terracotta, ceramics, wrought iron, silver and jade jewelry, wooden sculptures, carved colonial-style furniture, a great variety of traditional costumes and weavings, figured stone, brass, jarcia, traditional toys and much more."
