We spent the afternoon in Antigua. Antigua is a smaller and much prettier city than Guatemala City, with beautiful architectural details. In contrast with Guatemala City, many tourists are visible here.
Antigua.
A girl selling miniature dolls in Antigua. The volcano is visible in the
distance.
I bought a few of these miniature doll refrigerator magnets from this girl,
and then asked her to pose for this picture.
One of many nice architectural details in Antigua.
An armed guard protects a soft drink delivery truck in Antigua. Even in Antigua,
which has a lower crime rate than Guatemala City, the guns were ubiquitous.
Another security guard returning to work. These pump-action, sawed-off shotguns seemed to be the main weapons of choice
for security guards. They can be maneuvered quickly in confined spaces and
their shots cover a wide area.
Girls selling traditional wares and hand made souvenirs in Antigua.

One last chance to buy souvenirs in Antigua as we board our van for the trip
back to Guatemala City.
