Another gorgeous day in Antigua

Early this morning John and I decided to climb the Cerro de la Cruz. It is about a forty-five minute hike from where we are living. We hike on city streets for about one-half of the distance and on a winding and elevating trail for the balance. When we reach the summit we can see the volcanoes surrounding the city as well as a cross that is placed overlooking the city on the mount.

We returned and I have been working on malfunctioning Internet connections in two of the apartments here in the compound. I installed a new wireless router which seems to be working just fine. Then John and I walked to Dona Louisa where we had coffee/tea and breakfast. It was crowded as is normal here in Antigua on the weekends but we did find a table. After breakfast, we walked to an organic store that has opened since we were last here. Great find! Then we wandered on to another store that stocks some North American items that we cannot find in other places.

As we returned back to the compound, we noticed that Paul was opening the gates of the yard. He had offered to take the new tenants from their other dwelling to the new one. I had offered to go along and help load and unload their things. We have now done that and they are settled into their place. 

Who knows what the afternoon will bring?
