Tonight is our last night away from home...we've spent a few days exploring the New York Finger Lakes region...From the MacKenzie-Child's Studio in Aurora, home also to Wells College, to the sweet little village of Skaneateles (pronounced "skinny atlas")...the Cayuga Wine Trail where we visited wineries including the oldest winery in the area, Lucas Vineyards...We drove through the beautiful campuses of Cornell University and Ithaca College overlooking the city of Ithaca. We were surprised to learn that Ithaca is home to over 100 waterfalls and we set out to find a few of them. The city's slogan is "Ithaca is Gorges" and our view from Cornell down through the gorge to the lake in the distance was spectacular! We walked across the gorge on a pedestrian suspension bridge. It was breathtaking...
Our stay was highlighted by the wonderful bed and breakfast that we serendipitously found on "Google". Situated on Country Road 34 on the east side of the lake, there is an 80 year old apple orchard and picture perfect English gardens...Recently refurbished and opened by a lovely young couple, The John Joseph Inn and Elizabeth Restaurant was such a rare treat. The host and hostess, their two beautiful sons and their pot belly pig named Prep made us feel so at home...John is a phenomenal chef...dinners were heavenly, but my favorite meal was his unique rendition of French toast. It is worth the trip to Ithaca just to stay at their inn.
...more to come once we get home and settled back to our wonderful life in Naples.
