One of your famous, trademark 'tunnels'
Love this look down the columns--clearly you were there in a fabulous off-season when this wasn't crammed with tourists. Love your photos of the beautiful ruins, and impressed that you spent a day in Guatemala City. I was in Antigua for six weeks and never did that--I'd heard it was ugly, but your photos show some stunning architecture. I'll follow your lead and maybe stay a couple of days there. Thrilled that you got to see the volcano erupt, and good for you for climbing up to the forbidden terrace to see it. Proper adventurer!

In the latest Terminator movie Arnold plays an aging Terminator and one of the commets he uses when he can't perform the way he used to is "Old, but not obsolete". I guess that applies for me too. I used to be a bit of an adventurer but nowadays the most wild thing I do is to climb up a roof of a hostel. Thanks for the nice comment. /Ake
