A Favorite Quote

“…Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.”

  - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand, and Stars, 1939



Photos above from Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, one of Mexico's largest nature reserves and one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Sian Ka'an (Mayan for “where they sky is born”) is a practically uninhabited tract of 1.3 million acres set aside in 1986 to preserve tropical forests, savannas, mangroves, and marine habitats, and coastal reefs. While in Tulum, Mexico last year, we toured the reserve with CESiaK (Centro Ecológico Sian Ka’an), which is an organization dedicated to the conservation/preservation of Sian Ka’an . They help promote awareness of the area through education programs and community-based low-impact tourist activities.
