There’s nothing like a sunset
Sunsets in Antigua are something special and even more so when you watch them from Cafe Sky roof-top bar. You sit at the roof-top bar with drinks and friends to watch the sun set against a sky line, broken by volcanoes and mountains; if you are lucky you will be greeted by Fire volcano. Sunset’s warm light falls on Antigua’s color palette to give you such rich and wonderful spectrum that makes you wonder if these are the same walls and house from this morning. To your left you can see Water volcano raise just outside Antigua. There are the things that make Antigua such a magical place.
Cheers to all of you! and my warmest wishes to all the Daily Photo Cities.
Sidenote:
The church you see just a little south is La Iglesia de San Francisco el Grande. There is buried the only Catholic Saint for Central America: El Santo Hermano Pedro de Betancourt. He was born in Tenerife, Canary Islands in 1626. The World just keeps on getting smaller. I wander if Pamela knows about El Hermano Pedro.

Hola Rudy, Yes, I certainly have heard of El Hermano Pedro. His name was in the news a lot here when he was beautified in 2002, but even before that people would often refer to his cave that is on the south side of Tenerife. I’ve got an image for today, that I will post shortly, that has loose links with him.

Edwin, I too opened up a bottle of beer.
Jazzy, the view is spectacular and it is best in December and January one the light is awesome, the winds keep the clouds away and Fire volcanoe is very active.
Pamela, I read your follow-up post. Great research. Just remember that Americans are all the people who live on the America continent, and not just U.S. Citizens.
Patsy, I am sure you would love to be greeted by Fire volcano since it is far enough to be safe and yet be able to watch his pyromaniac games.
Sompopo, I am glad you are back, I thought I had scared you away.
Charles, you are feeling nostalgic, please don’t, just take airplane and come to revisit.
Lu! me da gusto que regreses, ya me tenías preocupado.
