Last day in Ashland
My last day in Ashland started with a trip to the laundromat and ended with a final play at OSF. I didn’t take a single photo today. (The one above, of the Elizabethan stage at OSF, I found on the webs.)

Crater Lake
This is Day Seven of my trip. We started out early with a drive to Crater Lake. The trip there was scenic, and we took a different route back that was also scenic. And Crater Lake is pretty the way Mozart was talented and Einstein was intelligent.

Ashland: Park, Theatre, and a Reconnection
Two plays today: a wonderful production of My Fair Lady in the afternoon, and a fun masque called The Heart of Robin Hood this evening at the outdoor theatre (where it wasn’t quite as cold as yesterday). The morning started with breakfast and the a walk in Lithia Park, which is one of the nicest…

Grants Pass, Jacksonville, and Ashland
The last few nights I blogged right after dinner. Last night we didn’t get out of the theatre until 11:00, and I was just too sleepy to stay up late and blog. The play was Cymbeline, not one of Shakespeare’s best plays (read the synopsis if you can get through it and see if you don’t agree), but a…

The Southern Oregon Coast
When I woke up today it was foggy and drizzly. But after breakfast (veggie scramble, sausage, fresh homemade apple-pear juice, and fresh apples and Asian pears from the orchard), I drove to the coast, and by the time I got there, the sun was out. Until about 1:30. Then it started clouding over and spitting rain.…

Cannon Beach to Myrtle Point
I’m afraid I only have a handful of photos today. I took over 100 pics on the drive down the coast, and they’re all worthy of posting, but the internet connection where I’m staying is extremely limited. I will update this post later with more pics. When I woke up early this morning, I found that there was…

Cannon Beach and Ecola State Park
I woke up this morning to the sound of rain. I went to breakfast at the Local Grill & Scoop, and afterwards, it was still raining. So I thought maybe I should give up on any outdoor plans. I decided to head toward Tillamook to tour the cheese factory. But I drove a short way before I decided…

Seattle to Cannon Beach
Here’s the highlight of the first day of my Oregon road trip:

More Balkan dreaming
Two days until I leave on my Oregon road trip. I’m planning to blog daily while I’m gone, posting experiences and photos. Meanwhile, I’m continuing to think ahead to next May and my trip to the Balkans. I requested a private tour itinerary from JayWay, and I’m now seriously thinking of doing that instead of the Rick…

Road Trips
The last time I took a serious road trip was my Acadian Road Trip, eight years ago, in July 2005. I flew to Portland, Maine, and I rented a car and drove up along the coast into New Brunswick, then down and around Nova Scotia, and back by ferry to Maine. I saw so many…

Itinerary Tweaking
I love planning my vacation nearly as much as going on it. (Nothing unusual about that, I think.) So once I start narrowing down the plan, I am constantly tweaking it until I’ve locked everything down. So here’s my revised itinerary for the Balkans:

Next spring? Really?
With less than two weeks until I leave for my Oregon road trip, I find that I’m already on the verge of putting down a deposit on my next vacation. I was thinking the Balkans in the fall, but now I’m thinking I won’t wait that long. I’m looking at Rick Steves’ first tour next spring,…
