Cruisin'

After church yesterday, Donna and I went for a leisurely cruise through the countryside!

Antigua is great, but there's some incredible scenery one you get outside of the city! On our journey, we passed through San Philippe de Jesus, Jocotenango, Pastores (the place where they make all the cowboy boots), and some other town whose inhabitants acted as if they hadn't seen a gringo for years, if at all.

This church is in San Philippe de Jesus. It looks kind of Scandinavian doesn't it?

In Pastores, there was a little block party going on. They were giving free makeovers! We stopped to check it out, but we didn't partake.

Check out these views! These little villages are built into the mountainsides and there are actually farms on these mountainsides too! Some of them are unbelievably steep.

In the evening, I joined Sondro and Aaron at Y Tu Pina Tambien - a cafe on the east side of Antigua that plays movies. After discovering that Sondro had never seen Pulp Fiction, we decided that it was time he was introduced to this little sliver of American culture. He enjoyed it! It was a packed house so the only seats left were the uncomfortable wooden ones, but it was still a good time.

Since Sondro and I didn't take our trip to Lago Atitlan this weekend, I have a free day in Antigua today! I've gotta got to the motorcycle shop and get my paperwork squared away finally. Hope they're in the mood to help me out today :)

I took several pictures of this building cause I love their sign! I think one of the pictures could become an album cover. Haha! In this one, that little girl almost looks like she's busting a move!
