Originally, a blog for our year living and working in the Japanese island of Kyushu. Now that we are back home, its just the average blog. We'll update friends and family on whatever is going through our heads.

Vacation Day 1 - Buffalo to Ithaca

Here are a few things that we saw today that we don't get to see in Orlando:
1. Snow plows lined up at Chicago O'hare airport (we flew from MCO to Buffalo via Chicago). This was my first time seeing such a machine. I don't care to see it in use.
2. A beaver on the side of the road eating
3. Corn fields as far as the eye could see
4. New York deer family
5. Lots of Christmas trees growing naturally in different sizes and shades
6. Amish family in a horse drawn carriage on SR14 along the corn fields.
7. "Cornell"ians- Hippie like college creatures who attend Cornell University
8. Taughannock Falls (pictures below). The falls are 215 ft tall and the gorge has been carved out by these falls over the past 12,000 years.
9. A small flock of sheep
10. Toyota Yaris. We see these in Orlando but we get to DRIVE one for this trip. I was hoping to get either a Yaris or a Nissan Versa for our rental car. They look so fun. (Dad, I know you think these are the ugliest cars on Earth).
I love our rental car!!!

WOW! So much in one day! I love the little gas saving cars. Sounds like you'll be glad for your walking shoes. I love these type of adventures! Keep the info and pictures coming!

I do not think the same about cars. Maybe age, maybe cost/economy. I like the rental in the picture. Maybe not on the interstate. Great pictures. Life is good, enjoy!
