Que triste

So Nealy heads back to the US tomorrow. Que triste (how sad). But, there's a food festival in Antigua tomorrow! I think that'll help me overcome the separation anxiety :)

Before breakfast, we drove up to Santo Domingo's restaurant on the mountain. It was incredible! The landscaping is extensive and really beautiful and there are great views of Antigua!

She and I spent the day shopping! Haggling with the vendadoras (sales women) is good Spanish practice. Not gonna lie though, it's pretty exhausting after awhile. I'm kinda looking forward to the fact that when I walk into a store in the States the price is set. Way simpler :)

Kara's also leaving tomorrow, so we had a little going away night out. Our first stop was ... I forget the name now - "Someone's" Tacos. Can't remember the name of the guy. It was literally a hole in the wall - the door isn't so much a door as a hole that's been knocked in a wall facing the street. There's not even a sign indicating that it's a restaurant. I'll have to take a picture to show you.

According to a doctor at Kara's clinic, they have the best tacos in Antigua. So, we go in, sit down, and the proprietor approaches. He doesn't ask us what kind of tacos we want, only how many! Hahaha! We each ordered two of what turned out to be potato and pork tacos. Though to be honest, I don't really think there was actually any pork in them. But they were pretty tasty and incredibly cheap!

Afterwards, we climbed to the terrace of Cafe Sky for dessert! I think mine was the best - I ordered tiramisu. Although Kara had some kind of a chocolate licuado with ice cream that was pretty fantastic. Nealy and Ann-Marita had some brownies that weren't too impressive.

There was a band in the park too! It was pretty interesting. A keyboard and drum combo. The crowd wasn't into it so we didn't stay long. Also, check out this huge cockroach!

Now I have four hours to sleep until I have to get up and catch the shuttle to Guatemala City with Nealy tomorrow morning! I'll tell you more about our tour of El Salvador and Honduras later!
