Oregon Shakespeare Festival

Rob and I spent a wonderfully relaxed weekend in Ashland, Oregon. We stayed with friends apparentparadox and markens, who were wonderful hosts. We saw two shows produced by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival; we puttered about in the little shops downtown; we ate leisurely restaurant breakfasts; we put our feet up and scritched the dog.

I can understand how people could get hooked on living in Ashland. What a place to retire! (Presuming you have your health. I hate that I always have to think of that now. Also, presuming you can afford it. Living there is not cheap.) There are yummy eateries everywhere, lots of stuff is within walking distance of lots of other stuff, there are many cute shops and a few nice galleries, and during the Shakespeare Festival season three shows a night are presented in the three downtown theaters.

Man, that was nice. It's the first time we've been away from home for a vacation for quite a while, and the relaxed pace was just what the doctor ordered.
