At least I found it. Because Antigua is a World Heritage Site, there are no large signs allowed here. In fact, most buildings barely have a posting of what they are. Anyway, we walked all the way past a very tasteful McDonalds building and the kids didn't even know it was there. I will remain mum until they figure it out.
On the cooking front, the chickens here taste like they are from another species of chicken all together. Moist, plump, flavorful...whatever they are doing to them, and I think it's not farming them whatsoever, makes for the best tasting chicken I have ever had. I have roasted them 2 times now, after a simple short marinade with garlic and thyme. Perfectly cooked all the way through and delicious.
We had a long day yesterday which started with me going to church in Guatemala City. It was the first time I'd been to church in years and it reminded me that I don't need to go again for a while. There was a Sunday school class about superstition and fortune telling. This is very bad for us and just reading your horiscope can let the devil in to your life. Although I didn't agree with sermon, the pastor and all the people at the church were exceptionally nice and I actually enjoyed the experience, just not the lessons.
I didn't take many pictures yesterday, but here is one from our walk to the arch and cathedral. Pretty impressive!
The blog looks great, Jane! The girls really enjoyed seeing pictures of Mason and Olivia--it's like their movie stars now. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for signing up! We are having a great time and so far the kids are behaving well. With no TV, they depend on each other so much more for entertainment. Hope you guys are having a fun summer and do some camping for me!
ReplyDeleteSo those are free range chickens? I had a friend in Canada who insisted American chickens tasted better because they were corn-fed. It may just have been what she was used to since she grew up in the States. But I must say i couldn't really tell the difference. It sounds like Mason and Olivia are adapting well. i hope you enjoyed your weekend off! We had the last week off from swim meets and it was wonderful; so relaxing, even though we still went to practice 4 times.
