Views of Antigua

So this is Antigua - where I have spanish classes (well the pretty bits anyway). Antigua is about 50mins away from Guatemala city and was once the capital of Guatemala, until almost everything fell down in the earthquake in 1773. It is still full of colonial buildings. It seems to have more than it's fair share of churches (and plenty of ruined churches too). There's also a spanish language school on nearly every corner so there's always lots of foreigners and therefore plenty of touristy places to eat and drink and be entertained. That's not always a good thing - but it does mean I've found some second hand english book shops - which I think I will be visiting frequently.
