From Jersey to Ithaca

We took our time for the drive to Ithaca, knowing that the Lehamnn's wouldn't be home until later, so had a "nice" lunch at this enormous highway truck stop, where we ate at Taco Bell, pretty funny. And after seeing all the sign pointing to "Bushkills Falls", the great Niagara Falls of Pennsylvania, we just had to go there and check them out. It was a nice little break from driving and they were some pretty waters. We finally go to Ithaca, which reminded me a lot of Bavaria, it had the same look of hills and lakes and trees and green, it was very very pretty. After some trouble finding the house (who knew there were all different Cornell Streets, Avenues, Roads, etc...) we got to Johannes and the girls and had a great dinner. They have a cute house with a beautiful backyard, where Cesia and Sophia played with Lily a lot. Next day we went for a little walk up the gorge and then took a trip to their wineries, and had some nice Rieslings and enjoyed a gorgeous day. On Friday Aimee showed us Cornell which is a really cool old University with some amazing building, and HUGE.... and has all these beautiful rivers going through the area, so we hiked along one of the gorges that goes right through town, which was beautiful. That night we went for dinner in Cornell and it was nice to just hang out with the family. Lily will miss Cesia and Sophia, they played so much with her, and took turn with watching her, and playing with her, and had to laugh so much, was fun to watch. Thanks to the Lehmann's for a wonderful visit and we sure hope they can come and visit us in San Francisco soon.
