Winter in Antigua, too?

Well, sort of. This morning we awoke and our innkeeper was so excited that there was snow on the top of the volcano.

Here is a picture of the volcano from our terrace



It actually isn't cold here, bit it is chilly. Today was only about 60 for a high and it was very windy. The whole country lost power last night for at least 2 hours. Nathaniel enjoyed modeling his hats today

(we know dad will just love the bonnet look!)






We had fun just hanging out in our room, too



Tonight we went to dinner with our new friends who are also fostering down here. We went to Ni fu Ni fa- traditional Argentinian food- it was very good.

Tomorrow we are going to lunch with some other friends we've made. Then we'll settle in for a relaxing weekend. On Monday, we have an appointment to go meet with the mayor and our attorney. It should be very interesting...

Have a good weekend!

Or do you mean the Mayor of Antigua?? Stay warm LOL Had to go there. I am in PA too and it is 11 degrees right now. Snow on the Volcano wow. I bet that doesn't happen to often.

Your terrace looks beautiful! The flowers are so pretty. They almost look like licacs. Nate of course is just precious. His little clothes look just perfect on him. I love his hats. We pray for Monday now to a BC in hand. I love you both the whole world. Mom
