Friendly folk everywhere- Antigua, Guatemala

What a beautiful city. Antigua is set in the hills surrounded by a group of volcanoes, it's built entirely in Colonial style, and only an hour away from the dangers of Guatemala City. Despite there being many tourists, the Antiguan people are so welcoming, stopping in the street for a chat, requiring nothing in return. Such a treat.

We had the best lattes and espressos along with fabulous street food in Antigua. Tacos and tortillas were making an appearance everywhere, which was the first time we started to feel our proximity with Mexico. Lucky for us we stayed in a beautiful hostel with rooftop and free gourmet breakfast, complete with beans, roasted tomatoes and herb potatoes! Believe me this was so exciting after a year of pretty average food!
