We got a little turned around on our way to breakfast but glad we stuck with it and found it! At Fernando's Kaffe I ate crepes with fruit and chocolate. It was lovely and delicious! Such a cute place.
12:09pm
We just checked into El Hostel and its so nice. People, young people, hanging out in the common space which has an open air courtyard. Melanie and I splurged on a double room for some privacy an its super cute! Theres a tree painted on the wall and its very colonial themed. It is a lot cleaner than out previous hostel, Hostel Capitan Tom. The woman was so nice and it was ok for the price but I feel much more at home here at this place. Its colorful, clean, decorated and lively. Its also in a cooler part of town with bars and young people. Granted the whole city is only like a mile by a mile... Its perfect though.

Im back at El Hostel. Its nice to come back to a clean, relaxing place. This afternoon we were getting ready to do some exploring when a girl also looked like she was getting ready to explore the city. I jumped on the chance to have someone new to talk to and join us. Emily did join us for the hike up to Cerro de la Cruz which is a lookout of the city. We got a little turned around getting up there (I blame the map!!) but it was beautiful at the top and it was nice having Emily join us. She had some great life stories. On the way up, I ran into Ashley who was at the Yoga forest with us and she's super sweet. Such a small world!
After the beautiful views of Antigua, Melanie and I went and checked out La Iglesia y Convento de las Capuchians which was a pretty cool run down church and convent from like the 1800s? I think? We took tons of pictures and sat in the sun for awhile, soaking it up. Then we walked around some more and explored Iglesia San Francisco. It was a pretty church with a really cool market out front. We watched some women weaving there for a bit. They made some beautiful things like table runners that I couldn't see myself owning but were so well done. They were hand made and even told a story like one had the national bird - Quetzal and volcanoes.
8:34 pm
We had a quiet dinner at Cafe Sky which was delicious and the views front heir sky bar were pretty fantastic. I had a spinach and cheese quesadilla. Yum! Happy hour after dinner was at the Hostel and we had wine. Across the street there is blues music tonight but I dont think I can stay up for it. My sleep schedule is go to bed early/wake up early. Might be time for bed soon...
