Bike Tour

This afternoon the five of us and Milton and Jesus took bikes to some of the small villages that surround Antigua: San Isabel, Gaspar, Cristobel, Pedro, Miguel, and Ciudad Viejo the former capital of all of Latin America destroyed in an earthquake so they moved it to Guatemala City. Many of the churches were built in the 1600 s & 1700s. We were at the base of the agua volcano. In the distance the volcano Fuego puffed smoke. Apparently at night you can see the lava spurt. After went to the rooftop bar called Sky Cafe. It's name is honest with 360 degree views of the mountains that surround Antigua. After dinner Kaleigh and I went to the bagel barn to watch a French movie, Les Intouchables, with Spanish subtitles. I was surprised by how much I understood. What is the formulaic storyline or my Spanish improving or the acting, I am not sure. Either way a surreal experience.
