Beyond Words: Antigua and Semana Santa

"Beyond Words" is a post that is mainly a collection of photos. A short description is provided but the visual experience is the main purpose. Enjoy!

Antigua, Guatemala is one of my favorite cities that I have visited during my trip. The city is romantic and historical and modern. It was a thrilling mix that fed every type of travel craving from roaming cobblestoned streets to visiting 200-year-old churches to enjoying the best brownie of my life in an ex-pat French bakery. I was there during Semana Santa, or the week before Easter. There were beautiful alfombras in the street, round-the-clock processions, extravagantly decorated churches, and LOTS of people. I spent the week enjoying the city, taking in the culture, making some amazing new friends, and visiting with an old friend. A special week, indeed!
