Roaming

While I was off traveling around the States in May, I also stopped in Upstate NY for a week to visit friends & family. My first stop was in Rochester where I went to college the 2nd time around. I was only there for a weekend which is a bummer b/c I love it there. I arrived completely exhausted from a red eye flight & spent most of the weekend trying to readjust my sleep schedule. I got to stop by the Lilac Festival for a little while, where I promptly got a nasty sunburn. More importantly I got to spend lots of time with my wonderful friend Erica & her family. Off to Park Ave to eat & later on to eat at some place on East Ave. I forgot how much I kind of adore the whole restaurants & shops inside houses thing. It really brings an atmosphere to Rochester. I wish I had more time for general lazing about there.

Then it was off to stay with my mom for a few days in Little Falls. I only lived there for a couple years when I was younger, so I never really explored around the area that much. I finally walked out to Moss Island & saw the canal Lock up close. We also went up to see the waterfall that was mere blocks from where we used to live that I never knew was even there. If I had only known, I would have spent more time crawling around the woods there. Something I really miss about living in NY is being able to just wander around the woods. There is some beautiful scenery there when it's nice out.
