We arrived late last night and were picked up by a shuttle from the Black Cat Hostal. I´m very happy that we arranged it because the airport is a little nuts and Antigua is a little far from Guatemala City.
When we arrived it was difficult to get into the small city because of all the crowds. People were out and about for the religious festivities so when we were all settled we took a stroll to the beautiful Parque Central. It was all lit up and the full moon was shining bright. There was a delightful foundtain in the center and tons of people were just hanging out. Then we went into the church and explored the gigantic ruins that went on and on. The archs were amazing in the moonlight. We also waited in line to see the catacombs- creepy man.
People were super emotional and I got a little emotional myself.
Today we are heading out to watch the purple robe and incense processions.
