Antigua Travel Blogs

Background: The Maya civilization flourished in Guatemala and surrounding regions during the first millennium A.D. After almost three centuries as a Spanish colony, Guatemala won its independence in 1821. During the second half of the 20th century, it experienced a variety of military and civilian governments as well as a 36-year guerrilla war. In 1996, the government signed a peace agreement formally ending the conflict, which had left more than 100,000 people dead and had created some 1 million refugees.

Hej och hå allesammans! Nu är det så länge sedan jag har skrivit i min blogg så jag vet inte riktigt var jag skall börja. Får försöka göra det kronologiskt så skall vi se om jag lyckas komma ihåg allt. Har hänt mycket, något som också är orsaken till att jag inte har tagit mig tid att skriva min blogg. Ångrar nu förståss... Så långt bak mitt minne sträcker sig är det första interesanta som hände efter sist jag skrev Halloween. Vad jag har förstått så är inte Halloween så stort här bland barn, tror inte de går ”Trick or treat” [View Full Entry]

No, your eyes do not deceive you, it does say 1988. As my project here in Germany, I’ve begun to go over our travel journals started in 1988 when we left Alaska for our first long adventure. We went to Antigua, Guatemala first to study Spanish, then traveled through Central and South America for about a year and one-half. So as to have an accurate, historical record of our journals, I’m re-typing them “as is” so to speak. Therefore, the narrative might only be interesting to those of you who want to know what it was like in these places so [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! So Mitch and I have been here a week now! Spanish is going pretty well, we are learning a lot. A few days ago, we took salsa lessons and ate lunch at the school which was ribs with tortillas and guac! sooo much guac. In the school, there is a big court yard with a massive garden which includes avodaco tree, orange tree, lima *citrus fruit like lime but sweeter. tree, soo many colourful flowers and ferns and old brick walls and floors it's verrry pretty. i keep getting bitten by mosquitos though! The house is cool too you [View Full Entry]

Hei og haa! No er det nok ein gang veldig lenge sidan eg har skrive men har liksom ikkje skjedd saa veldig mykje i det siste. For aa sei det slik, livet i Antigua er ikkje akkurat fylt meg fart og spenning, men saa er det akkurat det eg lika med livet mitt her :) No har eg omsider byrja paa den nye jobben min. Etter 1 veke i Miami tok eg meg 2 veker fri ettersom eg framleis hosta og har faatt beskjed om at ein ikkje kan gaa paa jobb om ein er sjuk. Barna faar lett lungebetennelse av [View Full Entry]

A friend e-mailed to let me know that she wasn't automatically receiving my blog updates and would have to start checking manually. Nancy, I don't know if that was a subtle hint, but suffice it to say there wasn't a technical problem... Antigua Antigua is a beautiful and historical city in Guatemala. The streets are cobbled and the sidewalks run along the walls of the homes and businesses. It is amazing to see what lies beyond the walls in the city. Historically, a house would have been an entire square block, but these have since been divided into numerous homes and [View Full Entry]

Here I am in Antigua, Guatemala! I've been here for a few days now. I have relaxed in the beautiful Central Park, enjoyed the international cuisine (I'm not sure that they even serve rice and beans here!), been propositioned by an aggressive Guatemalan, and walked in circles. Although Antigua is built on a very practical grid system, most of the streets look the same and there are very few signs. It is amazing and beautiful to see the historic buildings and cobbled streets. My hostel is quiet, clean, and very nice. I met up with a girl today and we stopped [View Full Entry]

Alright guys...sorry...I didn´t have the guts to get up and air guitar. I know...I let you all down and I´m sorry. I won´t miss another opportunity like that...promise! This week here has been great. I made some friends and learned some spanish from a great teacher (you can see their photos at the end). My spanish classes were one on one and I really got a lot out of it. She asked me what I wanted to learn and did the best to teach me it all. I definitely have increase my vocabulary a lot and know how to speak spanish [View Full Entry]

As soon as we stepped off the chicken bus in Antigua, we knew we were going to love this little colonial city. The streets were buzzing with energy, and many of the local women were wondering around in traditional dress which just added even more charm to it. We head through the markets and into the centre to find the Jungle Party hostel, which again we loved instantly. It had a great atmosphere, with people lounging around watching films on the big tv, chill out music on in the backround, and everyone chatting about their trips and getting on really well.

Interesting experience getting to Antigua. I was going to share a taxi with Mimi (one of the Canadians staying at Teresa´s) but the taxi we called never came and we had to stop one on the street (this means he´s not reputable...no meters). We explain that he should drop me off anywhere on the street so I can catch the chicken bus on the way to the airport. I ask how much and he says 50Q ($4.50). The guy drops Mimi off she tells him I have the money, then he takes me to the Camionetta (chicken bus head quarters). I [View Full Entry]
