Antigua, Guatemala

After a long week, I decided to treat myself to a Saturday 
in one of Unesco´s World Heritage sites: 
Antigua in Guatemala.

Blue and white striped dress (no brand) - Red bag D&G - Silver flats GAP 

So, I booked a one day tour to take me there.



I had wanted to visit for a long time, as I have special interest
in colonial and historic sites.


The cobble stone roads, the colorful homes and the people were a 
delight to watch.


There was music in the streets, such as this family 
of father and children playing live..


Lots of food.
There was food everywhere, I had to hold myself back.


We did a lot of walking which gave us the opportunity to
catch the little details..


As this door knocker,


or the hand painted floors.


Finally, I also got to witness a the Fuego volcano as it threw moderate explosions with fine ash plumes... 
Not what I had originally signed up for but quite a sight :)

You finally treated yourself to a non-work-related trip. The idea sounds spectacular to take a full day for yourself and go out of town.

The photos are phenomenal. So much rich history. I do love your relaxed stripped dress with the necklace, purse & scarf.

I miss you over my page but you have fun on your trips, now. ;-)


Take Care. XOXO Ada.

What an interesting trip in Guatamala. I love the beautiful painted floor.

Sounds like a very interesting trip...particularly the volcano.
