As we come to our last week here, I wanted to share
some of my favorite sights and moments
El Arco is located near the city center and was created to connect two monasteries, located on each side of the street. Apparently there used to be a problem with the nuns leaving the church and giving in to the temptations of men whispering "sweet nothings" as they cross the street. They created the arc as a bridge that the nuns could use to cross the street and avoid mingling with street folk.
Deanna and I took a field trip with our classes to some ruins in downtown Antigua.
The 6th grade class in front of the mural at the ANA. I requested this group picture after our field trip and some of the kids were not enthused after our long walk back to campus.
Our early morning hike to Cerro de la Cruz to celebrated Teslin's 20th birthday. We watched the sun fall over the city as it rose above the trees behind us.
Safety first! Our boat ride back to Panajachel from Santa Domingo was cold and wet, but at least we were stylish in our orange life vests.
A view of the country side spotted with humble housing and checkered with various crops. The lush green plants and trees span through all the valleys and over even the steepest of hills.
