Shoe shine man keeping up appearances

I went to Antigua in Guatemala, it was the old capital of Guatemala hence the name of the town but was damaged by earthquake in 1773 so the government moved the capital. It is also a beautiful town like Copan. GVI in Central America is based there and they run two schools for the communities in the mountains. These schools have over 300 pupils.
Like all these towns, the central park is a great place in the morning to people watch and to take in the flavour of the place. I liked watching the shoe shine man making his shoes were first class.
