Can anyone tell me if the flooding and the volcano has affected life in Antigua? Or was all that far from Antigua and its environs?

Thanks, James

Antigua

Antigua proper was unaffected, the southern communities including San Pedro las Huertas, Ciudad Vieja, and San Miguel Escobar were hit hard and are still digging out. Check my blog for pictures and updates.

How far are those affected communities from Antigua in miles since you probably use miles?

Are they far enough so you can say that the small communities around Antigua were not affected?

James, the southern communities would be 1-3 miles south of Antigua and no I would not say they were unaffected. Did you see the pictures on my blog? In some parts 'total devastation' would be the right word.

I did not see the pictures on your blog since I looked around on your nice blog but could not find them.

Can you tell me if the part that houses the expats was devastated? Also, the location of the best English language schools.... was that part affected very much?

Thanks, James
