ithaca is a college town in every sense of the word - it's home to cornell and ithaca college, hippies of all ages, a spectacular farmers market, delicious vegetarian restaurants, lots of resale shops, local artists and musicians... it's situated on the southern shore of the largest of the finger lakes, and it offers incredible views, stunning waterfalls, and gorgeous gorges. there are local wineries and independent breweries and gimme! coffee and purity ice cream.
this year we headed up to ithaca for thanksgiving. it was a nice quiet week: we did a whole lot of eating, relaxing, shopping, sleeping, and more eating. when we weren't stuffing ourselves stupid at the house and lounging around with the two kitties, we shopped and ate our way around the ithaca commons {perhaps not the most exciting shopping scene ever, but the food situation is pretty fantastic}. we hit just about every thrift shop we could find {ithaca has a killer salvation army store, by the way} and sampled fifteen different craft beers that we bought at the ithaca coffee company. we watched as much football as my parents could stand {i think A managed to terrify their friends with his football yelling}. we even decorated the house for christmas. then we ate some more.
