Day dos - Antigua

We started the day with devotions in the town square. We then boarded the bus for Antigua. Our guides sent us on a scavenger hunt through the Antigua market to teach us about the Guatemalan culture and also give us an experience of what it is like to try to navigate simple transactions in another language. Some of us even enjoyed coconut water served in sandwich bags. We then debriefed the market experience in the nicest Macdonald's any of us have seen complete with fountain courtyard and view of the volcano.

After some shopping, we went to the ruins of an old church and convent. We had a chance to sing in a very acoustically unique space in the basement of the convent.

Tomorrow we are off to hike the Pacaya volcano.
