We headed down to Ashland with Debbie and Dan for a few days to go to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, which started way back in 1935 and goes for eight and a half months every year. One play we saw was Romeo and Juliet and the other play was Animal Crackers. They were both wonderful and the atmosphere in Ashland was amazing. This was another highlight of our trip and we would love to go again.

| We took a really interesting backstage tour. It took us through the three theatres, as well as behind the scenes. This is the outdoor theatre based on The Globe in London. |

| Costumes for Animal Crackers. It was a Marx Brothers play, really funny and beautifully performed. |

| We went to a nearby town called Jacksonville, which has been designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark. Here we took an interesting trolley bus tour run by a local. It was an old gold rush town. |
