Yesterday we went on a walk just to see what we could find that we hadn't yet seen in Antigua. Because Antigua is on like 2 major fault lines, they are prone to earthquakes here. As a result, a lot of the older buildings have crumbled and only portions of the edifices still stand. There was a law made recently that says all new buildings or renovations to buildings must be in the style of the older buildings here. So its a gorgeous city.
So on our walk we stumble upon a small park with towering old churches surrounding it. Its around siesta time and we are towards the edge of town so there aren't many people around and traffic is minimal. Its so quiet and still...almost so much so that its alarming. Suddenly you hear it...on the xylophone...a small boy playing it... lady gaga bad romance. And its echoing about 4 blocks away.
Dont get me wrong, I love myself some Lady Gaga and i'll "Just Dance" any time, any day. You could even say its my theme song. However, there is something deeply disturbing about hearing Bad Romance from a 10 year old boy on a xylophone outside of a church.
If only lady gaga could have seen it.
