Trip Home, Part II (Ithaca-Boston)

I'm back in Boston now; this is being written from JMD's couch, with a very placid purring cat next to me.

Today's trip was relative uneventful. The day started with brunch in Ithaca at Cafe DeWitt, with Jofish and friends (including cyberlyra and inkandpen)--I think it's become my favorite way to start the day before I drive away, during these visits. Many thanks to Jofish for his hospitality, as always.


Weather was cold and clear. A shot from the Castleton-on-Hudson bridge (really tall Hudson River crossing on the New York State Throughway; rail bridge next to it):



Made it to the Massachusetts border during daylight hours. Speaking of which, I keep on meaning to visit Mass MoCA, but North Adams isn't really far away enough to be a good overnight stopping point.



I amused myself that my first stop in MA was at Bread & Circus Whole Foods, to pick up some apples, carrots, cereal, and takeout sushi. Sometimes, I wonder if I ever actually left this place.


Anyway, need to unpack the car, and meet my moving truck on Monday.

Cafe Dewitt brunch rocks. After everything in Jofish's domain, it's my favorite bit of Ithaca.

Sometimes I wonder if I really am gay; I don't much care for brunch. I'd be much more apt to just get a scone and an amazing latté at Gimme!.

This last time I was in Ithaca, I realized I think I've done brunch every morning I've spent in Ithaca. I think my favorite was Cafe Dewitt, though, where we had creme brulee french toast - it was a special of the day, and all of us were intrigued, but none of us felt up to eating it by ourselves so we got one for the table. Yum!

Well, I thought about Gimme!, but I decided that falls in Jofish's domain, since he gets the beans and makes cafe au lait at home. Though the intense coffee smell is better at the store.
