102 IN AND OUT OF ITHACA. 



pleasantest drives in the region is that to Varna or 

 Etna. The traveller should take the road that leads 

 through the University Grounds ; thence the road leads 

 eastward through a forest road along the brink of Fall 

 Creek Ravine to Forest Home, a pretty little hamlet of 

 decidedly rural aspect. Keep the right hand road, 

 which presently crosses a bridge, and winds for some 

 distance along the very edge of the picturesque stream. 

 Nothing could be more delightful than this part of the 

 drive. The scenery beyond is varied and interesting. 

 The little village of Varna is some two miles beyond For- 

 est Home, and Etna, a somewhat larger small place, is 

 about four miles further.
