"I need some pictures of Antigua so I can see where you are." This is the message I received early last week. Here you go, my dear Sara! Antigua is nice. It's a place for walking (with caution). There's an abundance of cafes, restaurants, little markets, and language schools. I did not have a particularly great week there, something like the flu which meant I spent way too much time on my bed with flashcards while the sun shone and the markets called. However, I did meet some really wonderful people who live in the same neighborhood as POP. And that means…I will stay at POP and drive over in the mornings with a few others in the coming weeks. It's a quick 20-25 minute drive and much easier for me to be here rather than living with a family there. I'm glad to be back. One of Antigua's charms, the doors! I was constantly wanting to take pictures of the doors, but knew I'd be disappointed with what I actually captured. Annie is on her way here the first week of April, with her camera, and I already communicated that I have dreams of a "doors" installation for her next photography project. Yes, Annie, it's time. ; )
Meet Antigua...

One of many cathedrals. |
