This weekend I just stayed in Antigua–slept late, walked (and walked) around town, went to the market, etc.  I took my camera and snapped a few pics:

my first car (1984 Nissan Sentra).  You don’t see many of these around back home anymore.  I dig the rims!

I  was wandering around outside an old Catholic Church when these three ladies tried to sneak a picture of me.  We made eye contact, I struck a pose, and they got there shot.  I then joked, “2 Quetzales, por favor” because some Guatemalans ask for change if you take a picture of them.  We laughed and they asked for pictures with me.  We ended up getting quite a few (one with 2 ladies, and another with the lady with the camera).  I wanted a shot too, so I gave my camera to one of the ladies.  As she held it, I demonstrated how you push half-way to focus and then click all the way.  I clicked a picture, and this is the random shot I got.  I think it captures the moment better than anything…
