First, some background. Antigua is THE place to be for Semana Santa – Holy Week. Edwardo, my homestay brother has been at me since day one to come back for Semana Santa. The entire city shuts down for the celebrations culminating in Easter Sunday. Today is the first Sunday of Lent and Edwardo says a 10% version of what happens during Semana Santa.
So we’re having breakfast in the park and I hear the sounds of a band playing New Orleans funeral style, and I can tell they are moving down the street. Gotta Go!
