Acatenango
Fuego is a volcano that’s almost always having little eruptions.
Next to it is Acatenango
From Acatenango there are good views of Fuego.
We have finally learned our lesson regarding hiking so we took a 4×4 up.
So we only had to walk through the clouds for 45 minutes.
Fuego is very noisy.
Sometimes it makes loud booms like fireworks followed by thuds as the big rocks settle.
Other times it just rumbles like thunder.
There are nice views of the sleepy volcano too, but that’s less exciting.
There is a lot of ash blowing around up here, but only because it is cold.
The ash from the volcano blows the other way.
We will be spending the night up here so we can see the volcano in the dark.
We have a luxury tent for 9 people.

Antigua Churches
A lot of buildings in Antigua were this awful yellow colour
This lamb is a poo-poo head
This fountain is interesting
It is facing the church
Of course, almost everything in Antigua seems to be facing a church
Or a ruined monastery.
Only part of this is another ugly yellow church. The other part is an ugly yellow hospital.
Look! Another church!
It had a weird crest
Churches have insides too
This one has Mayan gobliney things on the inside
And owls
These pretty flowers were on the walk back from the volcano
To the 4×4. We were too lazy to walk down.

Antigua
Antigua is near Fuego, the volcano that’s always exploding.
We could see the volcanos from the air flying in.
And from our hotel.
They had some weird parade floats.
Kerri was confused
But then she was happy
There’s the volcano again
You could see it almost everywhere in town
It was pretty
So was this one.
–Every direction has trees
So they need souped-up decorated school buses to get up the hills.

Antigua Walks
We went for some walks down the beach to explore.
The shoreline is packed with dead coral and seashells.
Many of them are bleached conch shells.
There are also snails.
With funky shells.
There are tons of conch.
The local fishermen cut open the shells to get the gooey slug like things out.
The shells are spirally inside.
There are lots of these weird things. Most of them are in the water.
The lizards are pretty colours.
