I hear the banana bread is to die for (I couldn’t get my hands on any) and I can vouch for the blackberry tart. As good as my mum makes, and that is really saying something. Not too sweet, not too tart and at 18Q for a large slice with a huge bowl of icecream – it was a steal.

The Wedding Cake was made at the house by Luisa and the other ladies. When the cake was being delivered to Guatemala City for the wedding an empty beer keg rolled onto the cake and did a little damage. It was still the best Carrot Cake I ever ate. Terezinha and I still talk about that day and the cake. We now have two children (Francisco and Cassandra) that have families of their own, but to think it all started in Antigua over 29 years ago. Do you still throw darts after closing time? A little over 29 years ago Dennis was the Best Man in my Wedding. The Wedding Cake was made at the house by Luisa and the other ladies.

So what was I to do, but to pull my camera and to start shooting this new enemy. This incident happened right in front of Doña Luisa Xicotencatl restaurant; one of LAG’s landmarks.

I really do love that place. The food is great and so is the setting. And the art-- those mural-type paintings in the front room on the second floor are amazing.
