Weekend in Antigua

I had a great time in Antigua over the weekend. I had hopes of watching UNC win a few more games than they did but sometimes, that is just how it goes. I was hoping that Kentucky would go on to win but I had double disappointment.

There were a lot of activities in Antigua as they prepare for Semana Santa. This lady is placing more flowers down before the parade walks over it. The afromba take a lot of work but do not last very long in the street.

This float is carried by 100 men and it is huge. As they walk, they do so in a manner that lifts the float off of their shoulder for a second of rest.

This is the float as it got closer and turned into La Merced, a huge Catholic Cathedral.

This is one of the other end of the float as it made it's entrance.

This is one of the three volcanoes near Antigua. A large Catholic Cathedral is to the left and to the right is some of the governmental buildings and the park.

It was great to have lunch with Mary, Neva and Glenn on Sunday afternoon. My passport is taken care of for three months so that is nice to know. It is almost time to return to Chichi and get back to work.
