| Statue at Santo Domingo |
For Sunday I went walking around Antigua by myself to soak in the sights and enjoy the city. First I went to Santo Domingo to both use the ATM and in the hopes that I would be able to go to the Museums there; since I missed the class field trip there the week I was sick. I took pictures of some of the interesting things I saw and I made pit stops at the Casa to set up my funding for the week ahead. I went to the market and bought some new earrings (I am a touch obsessed with earrings..). I wandered around mostly, and enjoyed as much of the sights as possible. I also spent a good amount of time in the Plaza watching some of the musicians playing there.

I went to Cafe Condessa for an early lunch and practiced my Spanish there. I then went back to my home stay and continued to practice my Spanish. After being home for a few hours I started texting the rest of the UT students to see what everyone was doing for dinner. I ended up going to an Indian food place here in Antigua with Jon and Ian from UT, and two of Ian's dutch roommates at his home stay. Even Indian food is very different here in Guatemala, but the humus was probably the best I have ever had.

I walked home at around 8:30pm and noticed that my street is actually pretty sketchy. The street is much darker at the southern end, and not busy at all, which made me a little nervous. So I will have to see what happens in that respect in the near future.
