Today we docked in Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala. As often happens when cruising the port is primarily a container port and there's nothing right here to see. We ended up sharing a cab with a couple from England and making the 1 1/2 hour drive to Antigua, a heritage community.
The drive was pretty bumpy and long but the community was lovely. Very much in Mexican style you can't really tell what's there by the street facades - beautiful ornate doors behind which are often hidden lovely courtyards surrounded by shops or homes.
We had a wonderful lunch - shrimp tacos for me, and some local beer! We enjoyed walking the cobble streets and the town square where everyone gathers to socialize. . Shout out to my niece-in-law Shannon who loves tacos and immediately came to mind at lunch and also to Norman and Sara - couldn't resist a shot of the Why Not? Hotel!
Adrian and I decided today that we should rate our ports (places we visit) as much for our own ability to remember where we'd like to return to as anything elseWe'd both return to Guatemala and visit Antigua and similar communities again - not from a port though.
