Day 2: Antigua

After church we headed into Antigua to shop and purchase things from the locals. We had such a great time seeing the city but it was also very eye opening. Many of the children you would see walking the streets were not just there for the day. They lived on those streets, abandoned and alone.

We ate lunch at Pollo Campero-a Guatemalan Kentucky Fried Chicken. It is the rainy season in Guatemala right now and we got caught in a huge monsoon rain storm. It even hailed for a few minutes. Huge baseball size hail pieces and heavy, heavy rain. It lasted for about 30 minutes so we took cover in a shop for a little bit. The store owner was not very happy we were taking up his space so he made us buy things and then get out, so we ran to the restaurant we were going to be eating. Needless to say, we were all drenched!
