But where have I really been for the past month and a half? Hasn't this house on Cape Cod been home, too? How do I explain a feeling of "place" that means more than one place?' I have felt very much "at home" here at Woods Hole. The surroundings and the people are different from those I left behind in Bluffton the first of June, but it's been home nevertheless. Some things are different, but I find many things to feel the same.
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the summer-vacationing side of Woods Hole, the tiny Cape Cod town I've been enjoying since the first of June. And it really is an ideal vacation spot, with gorgeous weather this year being a big plus. But now it's time to tell you about the unique place that Woods Hole presents to the scientific community.
The sun is warm, the breeze is cool, the harbor is calm, and all's well at Woods Hole, Massachusetts. I've been here for nearly three weeks now, so maybe I have enough of a feeling about the place to pass some of my observations on to you.
