Antigua, Coffee Farm, and Eruptions...
Today was another tourist day in Antigua. We started the day with a tour of a local coffee plantation.

After the coffee plantation, we had the afternoon to explore Antigua on our own (well in small groups). We walked through a gorgeous church.
As we were walking through Antigua, we could see that Volcano Fuego was spewing smoke into the air. As the afternoon turned into evening, we could see that it was really gearing up to put on a great show for us. The darker it got, the more clear the lava flow got. It was slightly terrifying, but also incredibly amazing. The volcano was about 10 miles away from our hotel, so barring a complete eruption, we were safe. Our hotel room neighbors had a great camera and were able to get some amazing pictures.

Unfortunately, this was also the day that the Packers lost to the Vikings (and we actually watched part of the game at a bar next door to the hotel)...
