Ithaca, New York...

We had no idea that much of New York was so rural. With the large number of dilapidated barns, cars in front yards and gun stores, we could have easily have been in the South. Not sure how well Veronica would fit in this area after we heard a DJ say, "Sit back and watch your ass grow."

The Ithaca region is famous for its waterfalls. This is Buttermilk Falls, which was just off the main road. It was a bummer that we had no time to go hiking.

We enjoyed an evening in downtown Ithaca, which was full of funky shops. We especially loved our vegetarian dinner at Moosewood Restaurant.

There were several good thrift shops. Veronica had fun swirling this dress, but didn't end up buying it.

Jimmy soon grew tired of shopping, but managed to keep his sense of humor.
