Massage
The sign on the side of the sauna gave clear cartoon instructions: 10 minute sauna, cold shower, 10 minute sauna, cold shower, 10 minute sauna, massage, 10 minute sauna, shower, nuevo hombre (new man).
Well, I wanted to be a nuevo hombre, so I layed my $7 on the table and within minutes was in the sauna. Can't breath! Cold shower, Aaaaaaaaaah! Can't breath! Aaaaaaaaaah! Can't breath! Half an hour later or so I managed to get myself to a massage table, and one hour of having a Guatemalan man beat the crap out of my muscles began.
The place itself has that 1960s ymca look to it, except a little delapidated. There were three massage tables in this room, and the whole building has been mirrored; one side for men, and one for women.
He really worked two particular muscles in my sholders, the ones, I suppose, that are key to carrying backpacks. Those muscles hurt for a day afterwards, but I felt great and I highly recomend the massage if you are ever in Antigua.
