In 1985 I moved to a fishing village on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan peninsula. I lived in an abandoned house and slept in a hammock. My first night I got a crash course in mosquitoes. However, the second night, a mosquito net lovingly in place, I swayed in the hammock, felt the trade winds touch my skin, and learned how magical sleeping with the sound of the surf sliding up the sand can be. Although I was camping in the shell of a house, I was happy. Sometimes I had to drive to Cancun to get a tomato, or to trade a VCR player for dental work. The one tin roof market in town got beef ...
