Ashland to San Fran

We work up in Ashland and said bye bye to our little motel, that we were barely in for 12 hours.

We explored the city for a little bit, it's a very cute theatre town!

We did a bit of walking and shopping, and I bought some new double pointed knitting needles.

We walked through a little market before settling in for brunch.

Then explored a bit more of the town, including this fountain that had natural minerals in the water.

Here is the outdoor stage outside of the Ashland theatre, two young thespians were rehearsing lines.

And here is the outdoor seating area, which was quite empty since a matinee was happening.

Then we hit the road again. Crossed over into California, after passing Mount Shasta.

We arrived at my friends Simone and Sean's place, where I bestowed gifts on their children, so they would be nice to me for the week.

They made a little angry birds set up and then called me in to watch them knock it down. Quite fun!

Road Trippin'

Here we are, on the road to San Fran! We left early on Saturday to drive down the I-5.

We had a lot of podcasts to keep us occupied, namely, S-Town. Have you heard of it? It's fascinating!

We made it to Ashland, Oregen in about 10 hours, stopping only for gas and a bit of lunch.

We managed to catch UniSon, a musical play based on the poems of August Wilson. It was fascinating and really well done.

We treated ourselves to a later dinner. It was so warm and balmy out, that we sat on one of the lovely patios in the city.

I can't remember the name of this restaurant, but it was GOOD. Their cheese plate was yum yum yum!
