President called and invited us to a "quick trip to Antiqua". We never turn those down! So off we went. We visited Pastores, a small town a little north of Antiqua, where they had a lot of really good leather shops. Eldon bought a nice leather belt.
Next we visited Jocotenango and stopped to take pictures of a cathedral.

Then we went to Antiqua, had lunch at the Pollo Campero and checked out the big central market next door. It is the closest we have seen to La Concha in Bolivia where we use to go 2-3 times a week. I bought a lovely fancy apron like the natives wear here in Guatemala, a lovely blanket just right for cool evenings and a small bag to take my possibles when we go shopping. I still use the money purse that I bought in Cochabamba to carry cash as it is the most secure way.

All in all a productive day.
Wednesday we walked to Price Smart to pick up a couple of things since we had not gone shopping Monday. Since I had walked all that way and obviously burned off at least 200 calories, I treated myself with a 300 calorie frozen yogurt. Not sure really how many calories either activity has but you get the idea. It was a cooler day as we had a huge rain last night but still very warm. The humidity in the air makes if feel "thick" to breath.
