EVACUATE NEW YORK IMMEDIATLY

Hurricane Irean hit New York on the first weekend which was actually down-graded to a tropical storm but the New Yorkers went crazy and hyped it up completly. In any case we evacuated to my roommates home town, Ithica, New York, 5 hours away from the city.

Ithica is beautiful, such a contrast to the skyscrappers of new york. Im a country bunkin so enjoyed being in the wilderness.




Ithica is home to the Finger lakes as well as multiple stunning waterfalls and Cornell University.

On the first day we went to a farmers market, very cute and country!
