We will miss you, Antigua!
It’s the final day in Antigua, Guatemala, and we’re not ready to leave this beautiful place. The people of the community have been so gracious to us. This experience has been a greater gift to us and individuals and future healthcare professionals than we were to the patients we saw throughout the week.
Still not use to the beautiful spots hidden throughout the city.
Today was our day to relax, enjoy the city, and adventure a little. We ended up in two groups for the day, one zip lining and one going for a hike up a volcano. The volcano goers were up and out early this morning headed for the most National Geographic worthy scene around. The volcano towered at about 8,300 feet, but we only climbed a portion of it to get to the top…we weren’t crazy enough to endure the whole climb. From where we were dropped off, it took about an hour to hike to the top and a little more than an hour to hike down. We were then treated to a fulfilling lunch followed by hydrotherapy baths/soaking pools of the hot springs. Our other group of zip liners were able to sleep in a little in comparison to the volcano group, but spent the morning soaring through the skies of a local coffee plantation.
