Lazy Sunday in Antigua

After a successful Saturday night celebrating a friend and neighbor's birthday, I woke this Sunday rather energetic. I took a morning jog through the "suburbs" of the city, which is a pleasant nook of colorful, colonial houses peppered among quaint parks full of flowing fountains and white, stone park benches.

The perfect 80 degree weather felt especially hot today as not a single cloud was in the clear, blue sky. The clear sky made for perfect views of the volcanoes that surround the city and make me think of times long past when the locals must have thought these were necessary for protecting them and keeping intruders out of the city.
