A state that had lived in my mind as a place to escape. A place to stand on a tiny peninsula covered by jagged rocks while the sea brushes up against them. Hopes of a crab feast after a day of exploring. A vibrant image would always blast though my thoughts, a crimson red bard standing gallantly against a Cerulean blue sky. Instead I found much more depth, history and rugged terrain with a community so friendly I thought I had skipped back in time.
