Kim really liked this picture...It's a weird large ciruluar room under the cells that the nuns stayed in...before the earthquakes destroyed the convent.

You can't see it in this picture but there are 6-7 hooks set high in the ceiling. No one has been able to figure out what the hooks were used for, nor what the full purpose of the room was. It is the only room in the convent that survived the earthquake intact.

er...This is from Antigua, just outside of the capital...Used to be the capital, but suffered a major earthquake a couple of hundred years ago...
