Antigua

Antigua,
Wow, antigua is beautiful. Unlike any other city or town we have been in Central America. It's nestled between 3 volcanoes and have streets that look like we could be in some quaint town in western europe. So clean and manicured. We had a show and workshop at Nuestros Ahigjados which is a NGO that does a lot of community projects just outside of Antigua. I started feeling really sick here and went to the clinic to find out that i have a bacteria infection in my ear. Which this is not a huge surprise because.....in the El Salvadorian airport the checked my temperature in my ear, after checking hundreds of other ears with out proper cleaning. So no swine flu for me but an ear infection. Anyway, now i have antiboitics and within an hour of taking them i started feeling better. Drugs are good. And the pharmacies here have pure ecucalpts oil and salt that was 2 dollars. So i was ready to go out to Cafe No Se by 8 pm after my drugs and bath. Cafe No Se is a really cool bar Alicia have been to for many years playing and hanging out. So it was like a little homecoming for her. When people mention the Cafe No Se they speak with such love and appreciation. Reminded me of the Square and Compass tha lumii's played in Dorset, England. Really lovely. Our hotel was the savior of hotels. It was an old historic hotel that when i walked in had a whole marimba band playing and 3 string bass and drums. The room felt like i was in my grandmothers house, that old smell and simplicity. Felt good to be comforted by a grandmother vibe.

On the way to the highlands today. Before we left we had breakfast at the hotel where they made homemade tortillas, here''s a little clip..
