The rest of the day Thursday, we traveled to Antigua.  On Friday morning, these pictures were taken from the roof of our hotel.  It is one of my favorite places on earth.





After breakfast, we traveled up to the cross above Antigua for our morning devotion.  The view from here is awesome!




We then visited a church and the ruins of a convent in the town.  Did I mention things here are old?  This building was built in 1548!




This arch is one of the most recognized monuments in Antigua.  It is all that is left of another convent compound.  This arch allowed the sisters to walk across the street to the church for worship without having to go outside.  Now neither the convent nor the church exist, but we still have the bridge.


Before leaving Antigua we had lunch at this pizza place.  The brick oven is huge and let me say, it makes really great pizza.
