Weekend with prospective students

So, this last Saturday Josh had the joy of taking some prospective students around on a tour of Cornell Campus and of Ithaca. Being his family, we got to come along. It was fun to see some of the sights I had not yet taken the time to go and see. Josh took them first up to the bell tower, we picked them up, went to lunch and them up to the falls. I would tell you the name of the waterfalls, but I would spell it wrong, pronounce it wrong, and overall, get it wrong. So "waterfall" will have to do.
This is Evan and Josh in the bell tower. Evan got a kick out of going up there with them.


I couldn't believe how frozen the waterfall was. It was beautiful. Can't wait to see it in the summer!


This is the river down from the falls. It is headed into the lake (next picture). I was amazed at the ice field. Some of the chunks of ice were HUGE!! It was really cool to see. you cold also see the water running under the ice, but only a small stream in the middle.


This is the other side of the street where the water enters the lake. One thing is for certain, if Ithaca holds nothing more than beauty, at least it does it well!!


We enjoyed the day looking around. It happened to be the nicest day of the whole week. Thank goodness the sun came out and the wind stopped, if only for that one day!!
