Antigua Washing with Volcano Watching

Antigua Washing with Volcano Watching
GUAT07D-10
June 25, 2007

Wandering through the colonial city of Antigua, Guatemala, in the morning is a tranquil time.  This pool is used by locals for washing, and has been for the last two centuries or more.  And in the background, the ever-present threat of volcanoes.  Antigua is surrounded by three such monsters, which forced the moving of the capital from Antigua to Guatemala City after a major eruption.  Two of the three are still active, and Pacaya can be climbed until your boots start smoking.  Enjoy.
