hello Karen. I went to Gooogle directory of webcams and found one in Guatemala. It is in Antigua which is one of our excursion stops on VTC
Entitled " PLAZA OLBELISCO." Please tell me if it is suitable for a few of us to gather there.

Nevi,
I found several that might me good!
Go to this web page , look on the right hand side of the page where it says webcams, and choose the "Plazuela Espana" cam.

There is are also two cams here, the second one looks pretty good.

Thanks, Karen. The only suitable one for viewing people is PLAZA OLBELISCO, which is the one I also had found. What do you think of it as a 'manhole cover' type of operation ? We will be there on Tue. April 20th. It is a ship's excursion, but I will plan on a private excursion to Antigua. (That's a city not the island !!!!)

Sounds good to me! Now you have to figure out just where that webcam is locatd at the plaza :)

Hi Neviboy,

A native (Guatemalan, of course) here...from the links Karen provided: None of those webcams are in Antigua. I will have to email those folks who own the site, because that information is all wrong!! I could tell from the first one, that is in Guatemala City, and there is no Plaza Obelisco in Antigua, and the webcam shot looked like the Plaza Obelisco in the City I am familiar with. Plazuela Espana is also in Guatemala City, so long story short, none of these will do.

HOWEVER, there a ton of internet cafe's in Antigua, and I'm positive more than a few webcams will turn up. Let me do some digging around and I will post back with what I think is a suitable one. If not, whoever the tour guide is should be able to help.

Rule of thumb...there are no modern buildings in Antigua. If the webcam shot has modern buildings in it, then it is not Antigua!!

She's got some pictures of Casa Santo Domingo, where you would have lunch...my cousin got married here a couple of years ago and the food was great!!

This is in Spanish, but has info and pictures.

The jade factory mentioned in the tour is probably at La Casa del Jade. Guatemalan jade is one of the most rare and prized in the world.

Antigua is well worth it, I highly recommend it.

Tikal is also well worth the trip...decisions, decisions!!! Too bad the Voyager isn't in Puerto Quetzal 2 days!!!

Let me know if you have any questions I can help you out with

Which ports will you visit on the March cruise ?

HI Neville,

The ports are Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, and Zihuatanejo. Mexico has not been a place I have have visited (save a day in Tijuana with my parents when I was 6 years old), so I am looking forward to it. It also helps move things along when I tell Mexicans I am 1/8 Mexican, they always get excited over that one!!! This cruise has also many days at sea, which we are looking forward to..
