Iglesia Merced. Typical of the 20 churches in Antigua. This is a functioning church. You are able to visit the ruins of its ancient, pre-earthquake edifice located just to the north. Our language school occupies a garden that is bordered on one side by the ruins. It is lovely.
This is the fountain outside Iglesia Merced (above). 200+ pigeons make a temporary flight though the open square when the church bells sound at key hours durring the day. It is worth being a few mintues late to see the 8am spectacle.
a typical fountain. this one is from a walkway near central park - on the way to cafe condess (see below!)
umm... good coffee.
