The Finger Lakes Region

In between our time working at Turtle Dreams, we spent two primo weekends in Ithaca, thanks to my friend Jen and her roommate Ana. We participated in all of the necessary area attractions: hiking Treman Falls State Park (above) through gorges and waterfalls; enjoying the best Farmer's Market in the world; scoping the boutiques in the Commons; eating at Moosewood Restaurant; drinking Ithaca Beer; swimming in waterfalls; and taking a self-guided tour of area wineries. After saying adieu to our new family at Turtle Dreams (below), we spent a quiet Independence Day in Ithaca on Lake Cayuga. Our final night in town, we participated in the Dances of Universal Peace at the Foundation of Light (www.foundation-of-light.org/dances.html). Today we drove the entire length of Pennsylvania to find our new home in West Virginia at Claymont Society for Continuous Education (www.claymont.org). We look forward to new beginnings tomorrow!
