Antigua Guatemala

Antigua Guatemala, is one of the most interesting and beautiful cities in Guatemala and around the world.  In addition, it's the most visited during holy week, everyday there are processions through the streets, and you can try all the traditional food and beverages.

There are a lot of important attractions as the Cathedral, Jade's House, Doña Luisa's Restaurant, the coolest place is the Convent of Capuchins though, it is a historic place in which there are a lot of ruins, It has an explination for everything and there are aso statues of nuns.

Another interesting natural wonder, is the Water Volcano, several years ago this volcano made eruptions and flooded the colonial city and people reconstructed the city, nowadays the best landscape is Water Volcano, it's one of the tallest volcanoes in Guatemala.

Minnesota Cup 1991

In 1991.  I went to Minnessota to play soccer with a team of friends.   We were representing Guatemala and our families paid for everything.

We played against other countries.  It was a nice experiencie.  In Minnessota we stayed in some houses of families from Minneapolis,  They were very kind people.

I like Minneapolis. It was a beautiful and quiet place.  For the tournament there were a lot of soccer fields to play in.

I'm not sure, but for the tournamente they had one soccer field por every letter of the alphabet.

Roller Coaster "My Best Experience"

In 2010 I went to Orlando with my family.  It was the first time that I boarded an airplane.  Our first advernture was when we arrived because it was a big airport and there were a lot of people.

The next day we went to Sea World, it was amazing!! I really enjoyed it.  The most enjoyable experience was to ride a rolller coaster.  

Hoping to have another experience like the one I had.

MY TRIP TO FLORIDA

In december 2006 I went to Florida with my sisters Jenniffer and Priscilla to visit our relatives.

We hadn't been in The United States before. When we arrived there we were very surprised about how clean, big and organized this country is when you compare it to here. The same night that we arrived we went to a Cuban Restaurant and guess what?.. We had never eaten Cuban food. but the food was really good.

About Two days later we went to Orlando. When we got there we were so exited because we could finally visit Disney and Universal Studios. We spent about three days visiting the parks but that wasn't enough because the parks were really big. When we got on the road to return home we took Tampa's road to visit Busch  Gardens and we rode some games and stuff. Then 2 days later we had to get back to Guatemala.

My story in "Antigua Guatemala"

Last year, I went with my family to "La Antigua" (that's how people call it) to spend our New Year's vacations. We walked in La Antigua to meet  see places and ate in different restaurants. We had breakfast in the Hotel named La Posadita de Don Rodrigo, they serve typical food. The food was delicious. At lunch we ate at a restaurant that had a beautiful, big garden. There we had some gourmet sandwiches which were very good. In the afternoon we walked and had dinner at a restaurant called "Opera". We drank coffee and delicious cakes while listening to live music. They have delicious desserts and lunch dishes. I never thought that I would  like this place but after I ate there I loved it.  Then we walked in the park. We bought some things in the park. My family and I went to the hotel to rest, because in the night we had to go to see the fireworks in the Central Park of La Antigua. It was awesome! I liked it soo much! I loved to celebrate  New Year in La Antigua.  It was a different experience. All the people felt happy to celebrate New Year. Everybody was walking and laughing with friends and family. I will never forget the good time I had there.

AMATIQUE BAY - GUATEMALA, PUERTO BARRIOS

Last year, I visited Amatique Bay, I took some vacations, fortunatelly it was summer. I went with my family. It was the most exciting experience.

We walked around the beach and saw some ruines.

Amatique Bay is also an all-inclusive resort and marina, partially owned by the Clarion Suites Hotel chain, and private investors. It is located on the eastern coast of Guatemala, only a few minutes boat ride from the southern Keys of Belize.

To get there: When driving to Puerto Barrios, make a right and travel the main road until you get to 14th Avenue and then make another right. Take 14th Avenue until the road ends (about half an hour drive). At the end of the road you'll drive into the main entrance of Amatique Bay.
