This month, we’re headed to some magical places. Ready?

First, we head to a quiet, snow-covered, evergreen forest by Lake Tahoe, where smoke swirls upwind. Then we visit a tiny French atelier, where the old proprietor tans leather and smokes a pipe. Finally, we head to the sunny sands of Rio. (Because December might be cold for you, but remember that Brazilians spend it on the beach. Jealous much?)
