  **Author's Note**
  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
  My favorite place in the world is Block Island, located twelve miles off the
  
  
  southern coast of Rhode Island. A tiny slip of land with a Great Salt Pond in
  
  
  the middle, Block Island is the place time forgot. You won't find a stop light
  
  
  on the island or a hospital. Internet connections are sketchy at best, and
  good
  
  
  luck finding a hotel room or a spot on the ferry for your car in the summer if
  
  
  you haven't planned months in advance. What you will find is peace and quiet
  
  
  and beaches and bluffs and quaint shops and a laidback atmosphere that soothes
  
  
  the soul.
