Letter from the Editor

Dear Readers,
Not only is February the month of love, it’s also traditionally a pretty busy month here in La Antigua with lots of entertaining events happening. Maybe it’s because of the great weather, or the romantic atmosphere, or the stunning backdrop… Whatever the reason, this year is no exception.

On the fun and quirky side of things, there will be an attempt to break the world’s record of how many people can squeeze inside of a chicken bus on the 11th (see page 28), and I’m pretty sure the people here can show the rest of the world how it’s done! On that same day in the evening, the Rotary Club will host a fundraising gala dedicated to love and friendship at the beautiful Capuchinas Ruins. On the 17th, the magnificent and mysterious Masquerade Ball will be held at San José el Viejo (see page 24). Then on the 18th, there will be the benefit event Guatemala in Motion! – an NGO showcase and dance extravaganza (see page 73).

In addition to that, there is an array of other interesting activities planned so be sure to check out our calendars. And, for all you lovers out there, every restaurant, hotel and spa is sure to have something delightfully romantic planned especially for you on the 14th.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Keri
