Welcome to a Small Place in the Country.

"There are great gaps in my information about the Peninsula and many things pertaining to it of which I am completely ignorant. Nevertheless, I know the Peninsula by heart. That’s the way I have known it from the first moment when I, a stranger, set foot upon it. That’s the only way it can be known–it, or any other place on the face of the globe. No matter how many facts you may gather or how much intelligence you may bring to bear on the study of any locality, unless you know it by heart you’ll never know it at all."

Louise Dickinson Rich, The Peninsula, “The Face of the Land,” 1958
