Returning to La Ciudad

Another hearty breakfast for another busy day. The food here was delicious and prepared by several tall white hat wearing chefs!

After scarfing down a quick meal, the cousins quickly found other things to do.

The grounds had peacocks walking around and Estephan found a feather! He had lots of fun pretending to be a peacock!

It sure is hard to get little ones to stop and look at the camera. They are always so busy and involved! :)
Here is Rodolfo with his grandmother.

Here he is laughing with his mom and grandmother.


On the road again! Here you can see some volcanos in the background. Yes, volcanos! Isn't that fascinating!
On the way back to the city, we stopped for lunch in Antigua. Rodolfo's cousin, Suzanne, and her husband, Eric have started a restaurant there called Como como. Isn't that a clever name? It means "how I eat". Eric is a chef from Belgium and it has been their dream to open a restaurant. I love it when people are bold enough to pursue their dreams! You guys rock! Their restaurant is in the photos below. Isn't it beautiful?


Here is Rodolfo's Tio Carlos and Tio Carlos's mother.

Here we are at the entrance of the restaurant. And below is Eric leaving with his dogs. One is on the belly of the moped, and do you see where the other one is? Yep, the backpack.


We also paid a short visit to Rodolfo's Tia and cousin.

For dinner we met 4 of Rodolfo's other cousins, his brother and everyone's kids at Pizza Hut. Gigi had so much fun on the jungle gym at this place that she screamed her head off when we left at close to midnight. This was one crazy long day.

Fiorella and myself.
Alejandra, Cessira and Manlio.

Tio Carlos, Tia Beatriz, Rodolfo's dad and mom, Rodolfo & Orietta.
And all the cousins, finally united! Beatriz, Sophia, Hector, Cessira & Gigi. There were many other cousins playing, but this was the biggest group of them that I could get to stand still together.
