For the website i need all the information you guys got from the day and night activities and it would be easier if there was a link to the document and a topic telling me the specifics of that activity that you want me to put in there.
I have slides one through nine, because of their topics, and lexy has ten through 12. 13 is me again, as a day activity.14-Emilee.15-Lexy. 16-me (day acitvity). 17-Lexy (restuarant). 18- Emilee (night activity). 19-me (day activity). Continue with this throughout all of the activities and restaurant all the way until the end. The last slide can be saved for Emilee, since it doesn't look like she gets much talking time. At school, we can figure out how much time each person talks, and then I might be able to give away some of my slides.
Set amid three volcanoes, Antigua Guatemala (Old Guatemala) is one of the oldest and most appealing cities in Central America. Antigua conserves its Spanish-colonial appeal despite numerous earthquakes.
Yellow, ocher and orange are prevalent colors along Antigua's cobblestone streets. The streets are devoid of traffic lights, neon signs and structures over two stories tall. Antigua's public buildings are examples of baroque architecture. Antigua's churches have lost much of their splendor due to earthquake damage and post-earthquake reconstruction. La Merced and Iglesia de San Francisco are impressive but Antigua's principal monuments are preserved as ruins. Antigua is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Of interest are Casa K'ojom, a museum of Mayan music and ceremonies and the Palacio de los Capitanes, for 230 years the center of Central American government. A bustling market is held in Parque Central on Sundays, when visitors and locals gather. Antigua is especially beautiful during Semana Santa celebrations, when the city's grid-like streets are carpeted with elaborate decorations of colored sawdust and flower petals. Antigua was Guatemala's capital from 1543 until a devastating earthquake in 1773 when the capital was moved 45km/28mi east to the present site of Guatemala City. Antigua's population is 30,000.
For a few of the restaurants, they seem very simlar, and I was wondering if you would consider taking a look at these restaurants that pertain more to the Guatemalan culture. If you don't see any worth going to, please comment, but if you find a few, or just one, that looks better, let me know, and I'll gladly add it in to the sliderocket.
La Azotea Cultural Center in Jocotenengo by Antigua Guatemala features a Coffee Museum, Casa K'ojom (with Mayan music instruments from pre-Columbian times to the present), Rincon de Sacatepequez (featuring customs and costumes of indigenous villages around Antigua), an equestrian club and a restaurant.
