Ithaca

Tuesday I'm giving a talk at Cornell at the ORIE Colloquium. So I flew up to Ithaca on Sunday to do some sightseeing beforehand. There were a couple of places that I wanted to see.

First on the list was one of my favorite places to go when I was a graduate student, Taughannock Falls. These big falls aren't much to see this time of year, but the walk along the riverbed is still lots of fun.

Next I headed along the Caygua Wine Trail. There are a couple dozen wineries along Cayuga Lake, most with tastings. This was taken at the Thirsty Owl Winery which you can see overlooks Cayuga Lake.
