Easter in Ithaca

Tremendous.





Our Easter morning dawned with a sunrise car trip to Ithaca. We attended Isaac's church and enjoyed a majestic rendition of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. After church we went on a hike and witnessed Ithaca's splendid gorges. Most of the above pictures were taken at Robert H. Treman State Park. Treman State Park is a marvel by way of nature and craftsmanship. During the Great Depression, a group of hard working artists built beautiful stone stairs to facilitate the walk and beauty of several of the waterfalls along the trail.
