Antigua and first impressions

I arrived in Antigua after dark, and went straight to the hostel. Checked in, and found a place for dinner. Antigua, being quite the tourist destination, caters well to those missing home. Though I was too fresh to the country to be missing home yet, I heard cafe 2000 made great sandwhiches, and was only 2 blocks away. For me, not wanting to venture too far into unknown territory so late in the evening, it sounded perfect. I sat down to eat and catch the end of Duece Bigalow the second, with several other tourists. The food was delisicios as I had been told, and more than I could eat. After finishing I walked around a bit, went to see the Parque Central, and headed back for bed, wanting to be fresh and full of energy the following day. The bed wasnt particularly comfortable, but I slept well. The next morning I met a friendly, red haired canadian who knew antigua quite well, so he showed me around a bit. We first went to the town market, so I could buy a small hand bag for day use, and a cowboy belt. After that we hiked up a hill to a site with a large cross overlooking the city. The view, with several large volcanoes in the background was spectacular. We walked around a bit more, just wandering, coming across several collapsed churches, preserved as they fell after the large earthquake some time ago. I spent the rest of my day with a french canadian girl I met in the park. We ended up back at cafe 2000 for a movie that night, both wanting to go to sleep early that night as well. I woke up early to head north, and her to climb one of volcanoes.
The next morning, I woke up around 5am and had my first chicken bus experience.
