Life Through a Door of a Spanish Restaurant in Antigua Guatemala

Alameda de Santa Lucia
Procession of the Immaculate Conception

Black wood, yellow render,
One side slightly closed,
Opposite, a barred, Antiguan arched window;

Life passes along the cobblestones
Rattling and squeaking noisily,
People walk carefully,
Striped shirts,
Floral skirts,
Baskets on heads,
Dogs on leads,
Tuk Tuks belch smoke,
Scooters roar to announce their presence,
And an old man passes silently on a bicycle,
Framed life,
Through a door of a Spanish restaurant.

Typical doors and arches in ruins

Getting on in years now but still love exploring corners of the world that call to me. I still write about those places, sometimes it's a poem and sometimes it's prose, whichever decides to take over my pen. I still love sharing bits and pieces of my travel fun so anyone who happens to stumble across this site or my books can go exploring with me. Come along, join in the silliness of Golden Oldie Travel.
