If you seek a pleasant peninsula

The Crimea (a country replete with sorrowful remembrances, and stirring associations) appears destined to become the theatre of exciting and important events: a circumstance that may give additional interest to my description of that peninsula, which possess so many attractions for the archeologist, the historian, and the admirer of the sublime, the picturesque, and the beautiful in scenery.
Charles Henry Scott, "The Baltic, The Black Sea, and The Crimea: Comprising travels in Russia, a voyage down the volga to astrachan, and a tour through Crim Tatary."


Today I'm saying goodbye to Crimea on the evening train to Kyiv. In a few days I'll be returning to my own peninsula - Michigan. Farewell, and hope to see you again soon.
