McDonalds is better in Antigua
This has been a rather interesting Sunday!
- We saw the start and finish of the Medio Maraton las Rosas, a half-marathon that starts and finishes in the Parque Central.
- We briefly visited a church called Vida y Fe (Life and Faith) that someone had told us about. We enjoyed 30-40 minutes of worship music there before…
- We headed over to the Iglesia del Nazareno (where we went two Sundays ago). Pastor Josue preached, with Nancy interpreting again. It was great!
- Then we met Miriam (Stacey’s teacher from the Christian Spanish Academy), her husband Byron, and their little daughter Sofia for a chicken bus ride to San Antonio Agua Calientes. We visited a market and museum there and bought some gifts before heading home. And on the ride home, somebody puked!
- And now, I’m sitting in the “McInternet” area in McDonalds letting you know about it all. Oh, and like I said in the title of this post, the McDonalds here really is better. Not because of the food — that’s exactly the same. But it’s faster, cleaner, and prettier than most McDonalds restaurants I’ve visited. Plus they have this little internet spot, a McCafe coffee bar, the kids Playplace, and a whole garden seating area with a fountain!
Because I’m on a public computer, I can’t really upload my pics from today yet, but I’ll update this post with them sometime tomorrow. Probably.
[OK, here are the photos!]

Hi from home:
If our McDonalds had a outdoor garden and fountain, I would stop by to relax too. Glad to hear you are having a good time (except for the puking incident).
Regards,
