Skøn fri søndag

Vulkanen

Den lækre morgenmad

Parque Central

Til Dannie fra Christina!

Normalt spiser vi alle måltider sammen med vores værtsfamilie, men om søndagen har de fri. Derfor gik vi på opdagelse i Antigua søndag, for at se hvad byen havde at byde på – både når det kommer til kultur og mad ;) Vi fandt denne søde cafe, hvor til ca. 30 kr fik en kæmpe, lækker vaffel med masser af frugt. Efter at have spist den, var vi stop-mætte og klar til at udforske Antigua. Vi fandt et marked med typisk mellemamerikansk tøj, tasker, smykker og en masse andet! Alt sammen i de mest fantastiske farver. Emilie købte en taske og en trøje i bedste turist-stil! Vi brugte også noget tid i ”Parque Central”, hvor der blev spillet mellemamerikansk musik med panfløjte, trommer og alt andet der hører dertil! Der var rigtig mange forskellige mennesker i parken; turister, sælgere, skopudsere og evangelister!

Vi fandt så en internetcafe, og fik skrevet hjem og snakket med familien på Skype. Det var rart lige at vide, at dem derhjemme stadig findes og at alt er i orden! Vi spiste så sen frokost/ tidlig aftensmad på en vildt hyggelig restaurant, hvor vi sad ude i en have. Maden var vildt lækker og for ca 125 kr. i alt fik vi så meget mad (som kan ses på nogle af billederne!).

Vi vendte snuden hjemad i takt med at solen gik ned, og gik trætte og glade i seng efter en fantastisk dag.

Normally we eat all meals with our host family, but Sunday is their day off. Therefore we went to explore Antigua to see what it has to offer when it comes to culture and to food as well ;)

We found this cute little café and for about 30 kr. we got a huge waffle with a lot of fresh fruit. After having eaten that we were completely full and ready to explore Antigua. We found a market with typical Central American clothes, bags, jewelry and many other things – all in the most amazing and vibrant colors. Emilie bought a bag and a sweater in perfect tourist-style! We also spent some time in “Parque Central” where they played Central American music with flute, drums and everything else that belongs to that genre. There was a lot of different people in the park; tourists, sales people, shoe cleaners and evangelists!

We then found an internet café and wrote home and spoke with our families on Skype. It was nice to know that everyone at home still exists and that everything is all right. We ate late lunch/ early dinner at this very nice restaurant where we ate in a garden. The food was really delicious and for ca. 125 kr. in total we got SO much food (you can see it in some of the pictures).  

We began to walk home as the sun began to set and we went to bed tired and happy after an amazing day!
