July 16
A morning run/hike up the Gorge Trail at Buttermilk Falls revealed some beautiful little pockets of waterfalls and pools. And made for an intense workout. After a light lunch of sandwiches we explored downtown Ithaca, including the public library and the plethora of bohemian-edged thrift shops, clothing and book stores. For snack we nestled into a little cafe called "The Mate Factor" that specializes in homemade waffles and Argentine yerba mate (green tea). With its quirky, dark wood interior and corners and alcoves I bet it's a super cozy spot for a cup of coffee deep in the Ithaca winter.
In the evening, we went out to watch Vince play a scrimmage with his Cornell camp team. Sorry, no pictures were allowed!
