Claire Duffett lives in New York City and recently completed a 10-day trip from Guatemala City to Antigua, Lake Atitalan, Tikal, and the cayes of Belize.
Not a bad way to escape this downright dreary North East April weather, huh? Claire will be sharing her field trip experience with us over the next week. Enjoy.
Oh, and if you have any questions about traveling to Guatemala, now would be the time to ask.
In Caye Caulker, dozens of travel agencies line Front Street, the island's main drag. Each hut sustains itself by selling snorkeling trips. In short: it's the thing to do.

Over at Tripso, there's a nice little
round-up of some food factory tours open to the public, from an Oakland fortune-cookie factory to (our fave) a small, old-time bottling plant for Dr Pepper. Good places to keep in mind during your summer wanderings.
By the way, our advice is to make time for that Tabasco factory tour only if you also want to see the gardens there -- the tour itself is lame.

The bike tour is back, and way more unique and interesting. Sure, we've all heard the old stand-bys-biking through Tuscany, or up the east coast-but try around the Erie Canal or Michigan's old rail trails.
Today's NY Times highlights some of the lesser known long-distance bike trips that have unique details like lodging in Rome, NY at Fort Stanwix, a Revolutionay War re-creation. Not to worry-things haven't changed too much, apparently the tour belts out "15 Miles on the Erie Canal" "several times during the week" according to the ride's organizer.
