The Beach at Monterrico













So, since we both love the beach, Mom and I decided to head off to the sun and black sand beaches of Monterrico, Guatamala's only nice Pacific side beach. Just two hours from Antigua, Monterrico was hot but wonderful! The town was very small and since we were there not only in the off season but also during the week, there were not very many people around.

The above pictures are from our hotel's restraunt/lounge.

So, I think all we did our first day (and pretty much everyday after that too) was sit on the beach, decide we were hot, go swimming in the ocean (the water was not warm, but since the temperature was in the 90s it was very cool and refreshing), lay on the beach more or go park in the hammocks in the right hand picture. Sprinkle in having a drink or two, taking a nap and reading all day long and you pretty much had our Monterrico life!
