I found myself in Real de Catorce early 2013. I had just spent xmas and new years in Tulum, Mexico. As it neared the end of the Mayan calendar, I wanted to have front row seats and hopped on a plane to Cancun on December 10, 2012. As my train passed Oslo on the way to the airport, I knew Obama was meeting with the Peace Prize delegation. It felt great to leave for Mexico that dreary cold December morning.
