We went poking around Antigua after a good night's sleep. We got plane tickets for Tikal and had a good time talking to the travel agent, Claudia. She flagged a Tuktuk for T to sit in. Laura and the kids got to ride a Tuktuk, a little three wheeled taxi.

We got to tour a convent that used to be the largest in Central America. It was designed in the baroque style. It was partially destroyed in an earthquake, terremoto, in 1773. Between all of us we could understand our guide. Basically, the second story tumbled in the earthquake. We saw remnants on the columns and watched restoration work.

We got ice cream and watched a really funny mime/ clown in the central parque. He kept miming all the teenage girls on their cell phones.
