If AntiguaDailyPhoto has been at all useful to you, I will let you INVITE me a cup of coffee
Subscribers today:
This was the very first time I became aware of the location of the table with the antique map on top. The table’s got a map, a nice one at that, and Rudy took a very pleasant photo of it with a cup of coffee next to it.
Can you guess where in La Antigua Guatemala?
Hint, they make excellent coffee, excellent chocolates, the food is great, and the ambience is plain antigüeña authentic!

Sabe Rico Restaurant, Chocolatería & Delicatessen is a great place to have delicious and nutritious breakfasts in La Antigua Guatemala. The range options goes from typical Guatemalan breakfast, tamales, et cetera all the way to fresh fruits and home-baked artisan bread slices with home-grown basil pesto and bacon.
The Sabe Rico large cup of coffee is HUGE; one of the largest cups of coffee I have ever seen. I am sure Starbucks’ largest size is much smaller than Sabe Rico large cup.
Another wonderful aspect of Sabe Rico is the fact that tables are randomly placed in a beautiful and quiet garden in the back of the restaurant.
I am certain this is not the only grape vine in La Antigua Guatemala, but this is perhaps the only one with public access.
Do you know where you can find this grape vine? Do you think the grapes are any good?
La Antigua Guatemala is full of interesting looking automobiles. The Tomcar is just one among the strange, rare rather, vehicles found in the streets of Antigua Guatemala. I will make it a point to capture other rare vehicles I have seen around town to share with you. Perhaps, these are not rare in your neighborhood.
I had never seen a Tomcar before, have you?
So close and so far away, that’s how I feel regarding this rolling hill, so close to La Antigua Guatemala, yet I have not made the time to explore and photograph. I promise I will do my best to bring you an exclusive coverage of the things to do in Santo Domingo del Cerro.
Do you know what’s up there and what things you can do in Santo Domingo del Cerro?
Boots, boots, boots…
I bet you didn’t know that there is town near Antigua Guatemala where one can choose from a large selection of boots, or even have them custom-made for you. The town of Pastores, about 5 kilometers from Antigua Guatemala, is famous for the quality and craftsmanship of their custom-made shoes and boots. Of course, there are hundreds of ready-made boots and shoes to choose from at the many shoe-maker shops, but if there’s time it is better to have them made to your specific desires.
If next time you visit La Antigua Guatemala you have the time, make sure you have a suit and shoes or boots custom-made for you. You will appreciate the high quality of the craftsmanship as well as be surprised of how inexpensive custom-made goods are in Guatemala.

We finish our little mini night photography tour with this simple image of a red wall and sign illuminated by a lamp. Depending on the quality of your monitor and its calibration, you may or may not be able to read what’s on the sign.
Since we are talking about monitors, calibrations and color profiles, let me share with you a little pro secret: if you surf the web with Safari browser, everything will look better than if you use any other browser because Safari reads the color profiles embedded in the images as well as it uses a better rendering engine to display, “print” really, the web pages. Please, keep it hush hush, we don’t other people to know. 
Do you know where in La Antigua Guatemala is this wall and lamp located?
Rudy, Thank you so much for bringing Antigua to me everyday. As so many people, I love Antigua and wish I could live all year. Thank you so much for having stories in English and Spanish. I have been studying Spanish for years and the short stories in both languages are very helpful. Antigua Daily Photo is the first thing I look at everyday when I turn on my computer. Once again, thank you so much. —Michelle, Miami, FL, USA
