Antigua, Guatemala is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Set in a broad valley, it is also surrounded by threel volcanos. One of the volcanos, El Fuego, has been in a state of active eruption for years. One time when I was here with Brian Goss , a family friend , it lit up the sky at night from the lava flows.
Being such a beautiful city has its price and here it is tourism. The streets are literally filled with them on weekends . There are hotels of all price ranges,from a dorm room for 6 dollars a night to rooms for 300 per night . There are also many restaurants.
I am staying at San Jose El Viejo , a Spanish School and hotel combined. The grounds are well maintained with many tropical plants. Compared to the stay in Xela this is plush . I do miss the family I stayed with in and Xela and would not trade them for anything . Tomorrow it's on to more Spanish classes.
