“If you would get away from the turmoil of the troubled world, why not come back to nature?Here the pine forests reach down to the water’s edge and the restless ocean stretches away to the horizon. In a boat you can plunge through the billowing seas or drift leisurely on the quiet surface of an inland salt water lake. You can stroll on the soft brown carpet of the green forests or you can perch on a rocky cliff and watch the waves tumbling over the silver gray ledges.”
