Handstitched Wallhanging for Marissa's Room
Cathedral Built in 1545
Oh my gosh, Antigua is the most beautiful and quaint little ancient town. Antigua was the first capital for all of Central America. It is over 500 years old. It was just incredible walking through some of the buildings. We had a great time there. We bought Marissa a traditional shawl type shirt that was originally worn by natives and now she is wearing it. It is beautiful. She loves it! I will frame it after she outgrows it and hang it in our home. I also bought a beautiful tapestry from the woman in the picture above. It shows Mayan children,a temple and other Mayan items. Lauren chose a handmade small ceramic whistle and a necklace. I could easily spend several days just hanging out there. We thought about going and staying a few days there, but really feel like Marissa needs the consistency of staying at this house until we go home where we will have another transition. I took some awesome pictures that I am hoping we can enlarge for our home. We have become good friends with Kelly who is adopting her second daughter from Guatemala and Kelly's sister, Sarah. They went to Antigua with us today. We will miss them when they leave on Tuesday.
