Interesting sights in Antigua

There are some things that are a little different here. For instince, the doors serve dual purposes, you can open the little door and walk through, or you can open the big door and park your car inside.

Also, there are a lot of stray, hungry dogs here. This one lives down the street. This is a picture of him eating a diaper.

And this is what the taxi cabs look like. They are called took - tooks. They are basically scooters with a covering. I am not even sure how they go up and down the big mountains, but they manage. Only one fat american or two skinny americans can fit in the back seat, but here, a family of four can fit. It costs about $1.25 for these guys to take you across town. Granted, town is small, but in the middle of a downpour, a buck twenty five is a pretty good deal.

And finally, for a beautiful view we get to see every day. This is volcano Agua. It is directly south of the city and very active. Early this week we had a small tremor from it. It is very breathtaking on a clear day. There are two other volcanoes due west of here, Fuego and Acantengo. They sit very close to each other and are also active.
