We parked the car at the Hotel Santo Domingo so that is where we started our day in Antigua. It is a very beautiful hotel built around the ruins of the ancient Monastario Santo Domingo. We walked around the grounds of this hotel and I was truly amazed. The following picture is where they have the weddings at the hotel.
At the fountain on the grounds of Hotel Santo Domingo. 
The plaza was filled with people selling necklaces, others wanting to shine your shoes, tourists orienting themselves around the city, and Guatemalans just relaxing on a Saturday morning. Ellie was a big "people watcher" at the plaza. She was running around taking it all in.
At the main plaza fountain. 
My dad, Ellie and me at the Arco de Santa Catalina. The arch is the only remnant of the once enourmous Convent of St. Catherine. As the convent increased in size... they had to build across the street. The arch was built so the nuns could cross without being seen.
Notice the volacanos in the background of the majority of these pictures!
