Antigua

Some shots of Antigua, although it was pretty I did feel much happier to be returning to my home in Copan, it was like spending a weekend in London, exciting but it is always great to get back to the country. Charlotte is now based in Antigua so she was my guide. The market there is vast and full of many tiny stalls selling everything.












Antigua is famous for its alhumbras in the build up to Easter which are drawings on the floor of churches or in the street made out of sawdust. It REALLY is made out of sawdust which is dyed and for the ones in the street, they make it again every day.

The volcanoes around Antigua dominate the skyline.
