Another Hike in Ithaca

This past week has been full of trips to Ithaca to explore the woods and find hidden waters. On Friday,  5/19/17, a bunch of my friends from Elmira traveled to Ithaca to a beautiful waterfall. In order to get to the waterfall there was a bit of a strenuous walk. We had to climb over and under some sketchy areas. I personally was out of breath from walking up a steep hill. Of course this tired me out, but from the top of the climb the view was amazing. While looking down on the waterfall I was actually feeling nauseous, I don't know why because usually I don't mind heights. The top was only the beginning of our adventure.

Once we started our journey again, we had to climb down the other side of the hill. There was a part where we had to slide on our butts to get down to the bottom. At the bottom there was a caved area. Once we walked through the caves we got another view of the waters below. The views are absolutely breathtaking. As beautiful as the high views were, I couldn't wait to make it to the waters.


Once we found our way to the waterfall. I was excited to hangout around there and get a nice little swim in. The waterfall was amazing. We swam across the pool and climbed on to the rocks near where the water was flowing down. This day was probably one of the most fun I have had here in NY. I was making memories with good people on a beautiful day.

Turtle Leaf Cafe

On Monday of this week, a couple of my friends and I went to a local organic cafe called Turtle Leaf Cafe. Here there are many different delicious options. They serve breakfast and lunch, but do not serve dinner as they close at 3pm on most days. This place is one of my favorite around town because it is local foods and not a chain restaurant. Turtle leaf reminds me a lot of the local diners in my home state of Maine. While ordering, there are so many options that sounds amazing that it makes it hard to decide to pick. My go to options for lunch is a pineapple mango spinach smoothie with a strawberry turkey brie panini or a strawberry almond salad. For breakfast my favorite is getting two eggs over easy with wheat toast and a pineapple mango spinach smoothie. Since we went early enough for the breakfast menu I ordered my regular breakfast. I can never go wrong with this option. My friend Tiia also got the same meal as me. Gyll on the other hand ordered a breakfast sandwich with the...

Me

My name is Kiana and I grew up in Lewiston, ME. I am a freshman at Elmira College in Upstate-ish NY: http://www.elmira.edu. My interests include sports, good food, traveling, and nature. Growing up in Maine has exposed me to explore the beautiful outdoors with constant hiking, camping, or laying out on the coast. I am lucky enough to have opportunities to travel to different places and be exposed to many different parts of the country. My mom's side of the family lives in San Diego, CA. So I visit there a lot and get to tour various parts. By far my favorite place there, aside from the beautiful beaches, is the Redwood National and State Parks. Although I went there many years ago, the ginormous trees have always stuck with me in my mind. It was amazing to think that places like that exist. Experiencing it first hand opened my eyes and made me realize that I love all different parts of nature. Since then, I have dedicated parts of my summers to seeing the hidden beauties of my h...

Corelife Eatery

While in Ithaca, NY my friends and I were looking for a healthy option for lunch. We heard from a few people at our school that Corelife Eatery had just opened up there. We decided to try it. Corelife is full of clean yummy food. Looking through the menu I automatically knew what I wanted. My eyes landed right on the tuna poke bowl. Sadly, when I was ordering they told me that they were out of tuna, so I had to make an impulse buy. I decided to get one of the salads. On the side they offer a side of bread and of course I took it. To top off my meal I had a cup of delicious lemonade. Each bite made me want more. I would definitely recommend Corelife Eatery.   Link:  http://eatatcore.com
