Fall

After major hassles picking up our rental car (best not elaborated on for our own sanity), Lindsay and Nigel drove the Ford Taurus back to the hotel where we loaded up our bags and headed out of the city. It was surprisingly easy going and there was hardly any traffic. We drove through the Lincoln Tunnel, crossed through New Jersey and headed north to Ithaca, New York, our next stop for one night. The last half of the drive was beautiful, full of colourful autumn trees and old country homes with pumpkins decorating their porches and yards.

In Ithaca, home to Cornell University, we walked downtown, which reminds me so much of Davis, California, where I went to university. It’s fairly small with lots of cute shops, cafes, and restaurants. We had a coffee before heading to the hotel for the night. We ordered pizza and salad for dinner, but it took so long to arrive that we were barely awake while eating it.
