Tip: Use j/k to move up and down.
For fall break this year, 11 of us (mostly CS PhD students) drove four hours to spend a few days relaxing at a house we rented on Lake George. (Some pictures taken by others.)
Burger with egg, blue cheese, sauteed mushrooms and onions, and a little ginger peach habanero sauce. Sooo good.
Some people across the lake were so happy that we were visiting that they decided to have a fireworks show in our honor! I found myself wondering if Columbus would have been disappointed that our arrival overshadowed the usual celebrations of the Day bearing his name.
Deniz tries Octoberfest beer and October-colored oreos. Conclusions: coordinated colors do not always imply coordinated tastes.
We spent much time hanging out in the boat house, which was built over the lake on stilts and had three of its four walls filled with windows looking over the lake.
Bishan was still learning Basu's technique. Here she almost makes it, but accidentally rotated 90 degrees during her follow-through. Keep practicing, Bishan!
Deniz went swimming more than the rest of us combined. Somehow she didn't care that the water was freezing.
It was supposed to be a 2.5 mile hike, then we took the longer 3.2 mile route, then we realized it was 3.2 one way with 2000 feet elevation gain. And then we took the wrong fork somewhere and made it longer.
View from the top. Our house was on the tiny, barely-visible peninsula sticking out into the middle of the lake on the left side.
Before I fell asleep, I managed to hang up the hammock that I'm increasingly glad to have lugged back from the Amazon.
At some point Deniz found, named, and subsequently became inseparably attached to this moth. His name was Bipolar, because sometimes he thought he was a moth, and other times, a leaf.
