After extending our afternoon shopping and exploring, we were finally able to get into our room at El Convento. It was incredible. All of the linens, even the canopy over the bed, were handmade by one of Antigua’s respected weavers at El Telar (The Loom Tree). We had our own private patio and jacuzzi, a waterfall showerhead as big as pizza, another fireplace and an entry way with a set of stepping stones over water. Kristen was so funny, she had to touch everything in the room; all of the pillows, the towels, the closet and the wood next to the fireplace. It was like she was returning home and was just making sure everything was as she left it. She wouldn’t let me set anything down. It was perfect and she wanted it to stay that way.

Hey Tobias, its Lindsay Strannigan (from Biola). Chad Mitchell told me about your blog, as I’m going to Guatemala for my honeymoon in June! It looks like you went to a lot of the same places my finacee and I are planning on going to…and while your blog is very thorough (and awesome) I would LOVE to pick your brain on a few things, and recommendations, etc. It looks amazing! In any case, my email is lindsay.strannigan@gmail.com if you want to send along any ideas/ thoughts for our trip to Guatemala! Oh, and my fiancee works in specialty coffee and we were planning on visiting a coffee farm or two, and its exciting to see that you went to one.
