Beautiful day as we left Seneca Falls at 7:45.
Passed the Trinity Episcopal Church as we're leaving town
Two locks and 41 miles later we were at the Allan Treman Marina in Cass Park in Ithaca. What a pretty place...…
Ithaca is at the south end of Cayuga Lake and home of Cornell University (one of the Ivy League Colleges). We rode our bikes (great biking path from here at the marina into town) and had lunch at CTB (Collegetown Bagels). We were riding past the Cayuga Wellness Center and came across the board on the sidewalk for this little café - excellent sandwiches.
I rode back to Catrina and Mark rode to Enterprise, folded up the bike and came on back with a gray Nissan SUV with Maryland plates. I rinsed off Catrina and then we were off to explore the area. Lots of waterfalls around here and we drove 8 miles out of town to see the tallest single-drop waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains.
Taughannock Falls
At 215', this cascade is 3 stories taller than Niagara Falls
We drove to Cornell University and at the Herbert Johnson Art Museum, we walked around the 5th floor which was all windows overlooking Cayuga Lake and Ithaca - beautiful! The campus is full of old structures of rock, stone and brick. The current tuition rate for Cornell is $70,000 per year.
OUCH!!!
OUCH!!!
