Off to Work
Antigua, Guatemala -- 1999
Hélène Lawler


This stunning colonial city was a sharp contrast to all other places I visited in Guatemala. The government has focused its tourist money here. Streets are clean, washed first thing every morning. Houses are well maintained, decorated and colourful. People are smartly dressed and many appeared to have money. Is this an anomaly or a sign of hope for this war-ravaged country?
