its net of wonder forever."—Jacques Cousteau

July Updates

"Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving." -Terry Pratchett

Besides the trips we took to Clayton and Niagara on the Lake we spent a lot of time in July listening to music around the area.
One place we seem to always go each year is Six Mile Creek Vineyard. It's a small place, but the wine is good and the bands are always entertaining. We took a picnic dinner with us, bought a bottle of wine and enjoyed the music.
New friends at the marina told us about a group playing up the lake. The group was called String Theory and they had a great mix of music. Almost everywhere we go to listen to music also comes with a view. 
A little sample of what String Theory played.
Another thing we enjoy doing in Ithaca is taking our little runabout up the inlet for dinner or even just dessert at the BoatYard Grill.
On the hottest weekend of the year...so far, we drove down to Kyle's house and spent the whole weekend visiting creeks to swim in. The pictures are from our day at World's End State Park. It was the perfect place to spend a warm day.
The park is on the Loyalsock Creek in the Endless Mountains region just north of Bloomsburg.
What would a summer day be without ice cream?
Our last musical experience of July was the WaterMusic & Dance on the Trail. This event featured music and dance performances for paddlers, pedestrians and bicyclists along the Cayuga Waterfront Trail in Ithaca. We took our little runabout and listened to a group at the Ithaca Farmers Market's pier. We could actually listen to music every evening somewhere around the area during the summer.
This picture is looking across the inlet to a man singing opera on the little electric boat and a dance group on the shore. There were a lot of kayakers, paddle-boarders, canoes and small boats out and about. 
The map on the right shows where all the stages were.
