We arrived in Guatemala City after dark last night and got a shuttle to Antigua. We had no guidebook for this country (although we had one for three other countries we had thought of as possibilities), but found a great little hostel (Hostel Cinco), got some dinner, and passed out in our bunk beds. Today at breakfast we met a woman who is leaving and bought her Lonely Planet book right off of her and are so happy to have it to scour over for wonderful little places to explore.
First on the list seems to be Lake Atitlan, which is in the middle of a mountain that was once volcanic. It is supposed to be stunning and we are excited! For now though, this is the view just outside our door, off the roof of our hostel.
The mountain to the right still erupts "about every other day", but apparently we missed it as it happened two days ago.
