Compare to the other cities along with universities, Ithaca is a small city. The only bustling place in downtown Ithaca is Ithaca Common.
相對於其他大學城來說,Ithaca 是一個規模很小的城市。市中心熱鬧點的地方就只有這麼一個 Ithaca Common

When the weather is good, it must be not bad to sit here and to have a cup of coffee.
若是天氣好的時候,坐在這喝咖啡應該不賴。

There were few people on the street. Maybe that was caused by that it has not become warm.
也許是天氣還沒開始暖和,街頭上仍然是沒有什麼人潮。

Cayuga Lake. There are a lot of wineries in this region. According to the signs standing by the road, I chose a larger vinery, Lucas Vineyard and bought few bottles of Riesling. It's a pity that all the pictures were snapped by R-D1s, and they disappeared because of the death of the HD.
Cayuga 湖,這一區充滿了不少的酒莊。我也找了一間看起來規模較大的酒莊 - Lucas ,進去挑了幾瓶 Riesling。可惜這一區的照片全都用 R-D1s 照,都不見了。

The Finger lakes are named for the geographical distribution. Crossing a hill, I see another lake, Seneca Lake. A small town, Geneva, is located in the north of the lake.
既然名曰 Finger Lakes,這裡的湖的分布就像五隻手指一樣,跨過了一個小丘,就到了另一個湖 Seneca Lake。Geneva 這個小城位於 Seneca 湖的最北端。

Seneca Lake. Leaving the lakefront park of Geneva after taking few photos in the cold and cloudy day, I had to drive to Rochester as fast as possible.
在又陰又冷的天氣下拍了幾張照後,離開 Geneva 的湖畔公園,趕緊趕往 Rochester。

讚~

火車站旁邊好像有一樹好漂亮的櫻花
怎麼沒多照幾張?!

喔 勾起我好多的回憶,因為這一路上的城鎮,我們大都曾進去閒逛過。

綺思佳(Ithaca)是標準的大學城,既清幽又漂亮,跟康乃爾大學獲利共生,感覺街上行人不是學生就是慕名而來的觀光客,其實我還觀察到很多紐約州企業的帳務中心都設在當地,此外也沒什麼污染性工業,所以環境一直很不錯。

Geneva倒是去Seneca Lake必經的小鎮,剛好就在該湖的最北邊,這裡(這個區域)的湖鱒(lake trout)很有名,會知道這些是我有個很愛釣魚的老爹,所以對我們附近河湖的地理資訊有下功夫研究。我當初還以為當地人好高的志向要把瑞士的日內瓦搬到這裡呢,其實也不過是當初歐洲移民取的名字罷了。如果您當初有留意的話,有些路旁應該就會看到紐約州的運河了。

可能是顧著趕路吧!你也知道 Prius 連開到超速都不容易,就沒注意到了。倒是損失酒莊的照片讓人覺得扼腕。


@Totopa
Ithaca 確實不錯啊!另一種觀點是,我們當 tourists 覺得很棒,住在那邊會不會覺得無趣或不便就是另一回事了。

帳務中心......
我記得我住的飯店對面還有證券公司,這在湖區倒是很少見到。不知道跟可以吸收康乃爾的畢業生有無關聯。

Geneva 我倒是只有蜻蜓點水般的看看,至於您好心報給我的運河,我記錯號碼倒置沒看到,真是浪費您的好意了,唉。

300-Rabbit said...

其實運河在Rochester 近郊看就很棒了
印象中有個state park
然後有家『麵粉磨坊』餐廳
很有趣~

Totopa 應該去過吧?!

一時還沒弄清楚您的是那一間餐廳(flour mill?),還有state park是那一種要門票的公園,都要上high way才會到,都距Rochester不近耶。其實偶當初的確是介紹Adolph到市郊(Pittsford)的lock 32,去看遊艇過閘門的經過,怎知詞不達意害他誤會了...

R的手感如何呀!!

Rudolph said...

@TOTOPA
是我把 23 記錯成 32 還 26 的樣子
所以怎麼 Google 都找不到......

@Each
等你去買 R6.2 來玩就知道了啊~

Flour Mill. 就在運河邊上, 吃飯還常常友人划獨木舟經過, 挺有意思的。

不過Rochester 不是到哪裡都先上highway 嗎?至少我都盡量走highway... @_@

Rodney學長

有可能是我孤陋寡聞或是物換星移那一家餐廳已不在了?不過就在運河邊上, 吃飯還可看到有人划獨木舟,我覺得以下這個點最有可能,再麻煩您到google maps用照片模式檢視一下吧!Aladdins Natural Eatery(26 Schoen Pl, Pittsford, NY 14534-2026),這一家的食物偏向希臘料理,口味清淡些;如果還不是的話,難到您是指高擋的Richardson's Canal House,再找不到的話,乾脆我們找Adolph明年一起到Rochester一探究竟吧!
