A very nice day in Antigua


We're learning.  We made the 3-mile trek to Central Park, the center of town, without getting lost or even having to ask for directions.  Again the park was bustling with visitors and the locals on family outings.  Many people we pass on the sidewalk smile and say beunos dias or beunos tardes, depending on the time of day--very friendly.  The treat for the day was a stop at Casa del Flan where I had a mochachino and Buzz had a carmelita.  Then I bought some handmade tortillas from a lady sitting on the sidewalk selling tortillas from a big basket. They were still warm.  They will be part of our dinner tonight.  We hired a tuk-tuk to take us home. A tuk-tuk is a 3-wheeled motorcycle with a canvas cover.  Thankfully, the driver knew the way to the house, and we were there in no time.  It is siesta time now. While we are resting, take a look at Central Park.
