Our first step into Antigua sunshine and a mini vehicle parade passed by our hostel! First, a pick-up with two men dressed in gold speaking on a microphone, then, a pick-up decorated in green and red Christmas stuff, and lastly, a pick-up full of balls. Fun!
Right, so the monastery was just like other colonial Spanish complex, and there were several gardens and museums inside of it, but let me tell you just the highlights:
- Seeing a large, colorful parrot type bird
- Being in the sun
- Watching a drip/twist candle being made
- Seeing skeletons in the crypt and then the lights being turned off and then being in the dark with skeletons in the crypt
- Mayan stone art
- More skeletons
- Some skeletons in a glass container cemented into the wall outside next to the garden
- Grass
- Plexi-glass display cases half buried in the ground containing bones. (Catholics are so weird.)(But not the Catholics I know.)
