Ithaca might be all those things but mostly its a small town surrounded by beautiful Cayuga lake and farms and orchards......we spent many a July 4th at Cayuga lake at the state park, across from the falls.....we would set up our picnic area and then go up into the orchards and pick Bing cherries......I have terrific memories of that time and that area...............
You haven't been back in a while, have you? ;-)
