A Belated Christmas and beginning of 2014

Christmas at Home


















Back to Guatemala


Volcan Fuego showing off for us
My sister and I exploring Antigua















town of San Juan del Obispo, about 15 mins. from Antigua
We visited a convent (ring the doorbell for a personally guided tour by one of the sisters.)
There was a family-run chocolate shop in San Juan that we visited.  The lady gave us our own personal tour of how they make chocolate.  They have samples of the different flavors and she heated up some Rice Chocolate for us to try.   I loved the Coffee Chocolate and the roasted chocolate beans!  This was a much better stop than the expensive chocolate museum in downtown Antigua.

Copan, Honduras:  Mayan Ruins
Central Park

















ball court





















This Mayan site is known for its hieroglyphics and the detail that remains in the art work and writing.
