Ashland & the Shakespeare Festival

It took over 9 hours to get to Ashland, Oregon from San Francisco (two buses and a train), where we'll be for the next couple of days for the Shakespeare Festival (which runs from May to October). Autumn is on its way over here and the trees are starting to turn to beautiful reds and oranges and the place is the closest to England that we've been in. It's a small town, peaceful and quiet (which makes a change from the cities we've been in)!

We went to see The Winters' Tale. It was really enjoyable (albeit a little strange hearing Shakespeare performed with American accents!) and well performed (especially the part of Autolycus!)

We left Ashland on the Sunday and spent the next 18 hours getting to Los Angeles (at least we got to talk to some interesting people on the way!)
