The dynamic travel blogging duo of Randy (Beers) and Beth (Beans) are in the middle of something exciting. After travelling to Guatemala with CoEd last summer, they were so inspired by their experience that they decided to use their wildly popular travel blog, beersandbeans.com, to fundraise two computer workstations at the Computer Center they visited on tour. And so their fundraising brainchild, Guatemala Week, was born. Round two of Guatemala week is this week so be sure to watch Facebook and Twitter for their new posts!
