I spent yesterday walking around Ithaca, NY. It’s a college town – Cornell University is located here – so it has a downtown area (“Ithaca Commons”) which is dedicated to bars and restaurants. But it’s also scenically situated; a lake to one side and raised ground on the other side (the site of Cornell). One result of this is waterfalls, where streams flow from the high ground towards the lake.
I spent the morning exploring the landward side of town, and visited a waterfall (actually, a whole stream’s-worth of them, there was a trail), the Cornell campus, and then drifted back into town – via the town cemetery….
Then after lunch I walked over to the lake area. This wasn’t perhaps quite so scenic, but it was quietly beautiful in its own way.
