Dear Reader,
Our first writer in this month’s Travel Post makes an annual trip with her sister that always includes wine tasting, hiking, and dining. This year, they decided to head to Baja California and the Wine Trail in Valle de Guadalupe.
“Food is… an integral part of travel.” This is true for many travelers, and especially the more intrepid ones. A little backstreet restaurant proved to be the highlight of our next writer’s trip to Ambergris Caye in Belize.
A cave in France was found to contain paintings and carvings dating back 20,000 years. You can no longer visit the original cave, but thanks to modern technology (and approximately $66 million) a replica was built into the hillside where the original cave was found.
Local art initiatives and eclectic independent stores abound in downtown Decatur. But it’s the restaurant scene that entices travelers to join Downtown Decatur Food Tours, a guided food tasting and cultural walking tour.
Our last writer spent 26 years as a park ranger, making her eminently qualified to examine conservation ethics and sustainability practices in Alaska.
Read these stories — and see the great photos that go with them — below.
Safe travels,
Janette Jones
