A few years ago, Rama and I took one of the most amazing vacations of our lives. We went to Tulum, Mexico, on the Yucatan Peninsula. We stayed at the Cabanas Copal.

There was no electricity, and at night candles were lit along the sandy paths that lead to the cabanas.

As a layer of ice forms over the streets of Berlin, I’m thinking I’d like to go back to Tulum right about now.
