Greetings from Southern Oregon.

I spent an amazing 48 hours in Ashland and Southern Oregon last weekend and I’m only now getting around to blogging about it. I was felled by a stomach bug the day before last and I’m still not sure if it was the flu or food poisoning but that’s no excuse! Here, now, I’ll tell you what Alice and I did.

First we drove out to Crater Lake which was spectacular but very, very cold. You can’t really tell from the photo above, but it was only 25 degrees and we were not prepared. But the sky was so clear and blue, that I couldn’t resist a drive out to the lake that I’ve only ever visited once before.

Next we did a little touring of the town of Ashland which is quickly becoming one of my favorite places.

Found the local yarn shop, of course!

Here’s a shot of yours truly incognito, trying on masks at the Shakespeare gift shop.

We capped off our Saturday by attending a play and I couldn’t resist snapping a shot of the stage. I thought the staging of this play was extremely clever and unique. You can barely see the bed lit with a yellow light through the curtain which was used to great effect. Anyway I wasn’t supposed to take any photos so I dare not mention the play. You’ll just have to guess.
