At Top of Ithaca Falls

Summers in Ithaca, NY are very rarely beat. There is a relaxed atmosphere, the great outdoors, and an unmatched scenic beauty. As an ode to summer, I just wanted to share another of my hiking adventures. Although it was not as far as my Six Mile Creek adventure, a friend an I returned to Ithaca's Gun Hill for a quick walk around, completing my July 4th hike.

The abandoned site offers many great views of industrial remains, natural beauty, and impressive grafitti. Additionally, it is a technically challenging hike (and slightly illegal) but very rewarding.

You can take a peak into the famous Ithaca Gun Stack...



Or some of the additional abandoned structures...



Overall, a great way to spend a waining summer afternoon.

So, this is what I am slightly anxious about.  Four months living in Leipzig.  Good thing I speak German.

What to do with a pen...

What to do at 2 AM, can't sleep, and procrastinating from work? Simple! Draw on yourself with a ballpoint pen. Not only that, draw an entire landscape. When I get nervous/anxious about something, I tend to draw... often times on myself...



What I am nervous about will have to be detailed in a later post...
