Santo Domingo on the Mountain

 Well gosh, I will learn how to do these better in sequence. But a very old Hotel / Restaurant in town has made a restaurant up a near by mountain.   We finally went with neighbours other day.  This is Corina and Jim leaving the 'chapel' with the pope on the outside.   Love the blue.
 It is a very steep drive up to the place  and it is totally magical, on the way up and once there.  NOTHING like Antiqua or anything Guatemalan that we have seen.   This is just a structure we are walking by.
 This is a sculpture of giant twist tubes????  I love this kind of sculpture.
 This is funny hanging art in the trees.
 This is a giant fork and spoon getting ready to eat some spaghetti.
 There was a candle shop and a  chocolate shop.  Corina  taking a peak in after lunch.
 There happened to be a Mayan Market this day.   a Square big enough for a big wedding, meetings,
The do have lots of events.
 Looking down on the market tent.
 The exit/entrance to the restaurant.   No walls,   giant pillars  and a cloth roof.  Very fun, different surrounding.  Lunch was delicious and more than reasonable.
 Love the giant chair.  and view is looking down on Antigua.
 This is a tiled 'lion'  
 A Guatemalan sculpture  overlooking the grounds.   Building in back was being worked on.
 All the way up the cobble stone road were pieces of 'strange' art  and also these buggies.  Thought for a minute you were at the Remington Carriage Museum in Cardston!!
 Loved these trees,  thought they might be trying to speak to you, if you waited around long enough.
Definitely  a place we will take you too.
