Being born, raised and living in New England all my life, I just assume that everyone knows where I am. The fact is, aside from hearing about the Pilgrims, and America’s early history, much of New England goes unnoticed in World History.
After hearing that Cape Cod was a mystery to some, I decided to put up a map and a little history of the area, that I called home.
You can read about the history of Cape Cod HERE. It is quite an amazing piece of land, and I grew up during the prime part of Cape Cod’s amazing familial history. Falmouth, during my childhood, was simply an amazing place to be. The place was warm with friendship and community spirit.
Here is a picture of good old New England. Its history is old and great, with the very birth of our nation. You can read all about New England, HERE.
As I have written, I now live in New Hampshire, which is part of New England. I miss the ocean so much, but I do love the mountains of my adopted home State.
I guess no matter how old I get, or where I live, I will always consider myself a Cape Cod Girl. It’s where I learned about myself growing up and somehow it’s a place I go to refresh myself and catch my breath.
If you have any questions about Cape Cod, or Massachusetts or New Hampshire, leave them in the comment section of the blog. Or if my comment section is still acting up, send them to dackelprincess (@) metrocast.net and I will answer them as best I can.
There you go. I always thought it was on the west coast, but instead it is a sticking out bit on the east coast and a bit down south from NY. No, wait, it is north of NYC. And so is New Hampshire. Wow, there are a number of states north of NYC that are awfully close to Canada. Cape Cod looks awfully vulnerable to rising sea levels, as do some of the sticky out bits near Florida.
