July 16

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!
Maya and Paula charge up the steps at the BEGINNING of the trail.

It sounded very peaceful too.

Some art work in downtown Ithaca.

Not a real hole in the wall.
