Ashlandia

So after deliberating with Caroline about how long it's been since our last update, we finally have our bearings straight. Karina had her protein, the rest of us had our breakfast and we were on our way to Ashland, Oregon! The drive was beautiful, watching the landscape change from an oasis of wheat fields, rolling green hills, Mount Shasta, to a forest of Evergreens, we finally arrived to the home of the Shakespeare Festival.

Ashland is a very quaint little town in one of the Southern most points of Oregon, very beautiful. We got lucky with our stay. We had an entire house to ourselves for the night thanks to a connection from Bev and then through two people we've never met, a little strange but we're very thankful. After a little detective work we concluded that the owner of the house was a male, Russian, pianist with an interest in China. We fell asleep watching Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and had a good nights rest.

The next morning we got to actually experience Ashland. We went to a little park and ate oatmeal beside the wildflowers and sang a few songs. Then we packed up the car, cleaned up the house and headed out to Lithia Park (which got its name from the Lithium that flows through the creek and is pumped into the water fountains). There we put together our musical set up and started playing for the people in the park, it was probably our biggest crowd yet! We got rid of the last of our CD's and got some more great response. With the car already packed, we started heading to Portland right after our park set and arrived back at Eden's cozy home, pups and all. And now we're watching the Bachlorette... How did that happen?

Seattle, we're almost home.
