Zero day in Ithaca, NY

Since I have been waking up at five most mornings on tour and it was Saturday and my son would sleep till 10:00, I did the unthinkable and got on my bike and rode to town. This meant hills! But I tried not to think about that too much.

I rode through Cornell’s campus on the way to the Green Star Food Co-op. I picked up a few things at the co-op and headed to the Ithaca Farmers Market. The Farmers Market was sweet. The market is under a permanent structure and the vendors were all dynamite.

On my way back up the hill through the cemetery I noticed a marker on google maps that said Carl Sagan’s resting place so I made a point to stop. It looked like he gets many visitors.

When my son was ready to roll, we walked through campus and down to the Cascadilla Falls trail. Unfortunately only part of it was open. But we did get to see some of the falls and then we went out for lunch in town.

We ended the day like college students by ordering pizza and playing Magic. As usual he won.
