Ashland, Oregon, Day 4

Hi Everyone!

So after camping, my husband and I drove up the California coast (so beautiful! So great to see waves and cars with surfboards on them!), had an amazing fried oyster lunch in Crescent City (I don't eat a lot of seafood in Colorado...eating as much as possible while on the West coast), and then went inland to Ashland, OR. I have a wonderful friend who lives there (this is her backyard, above...I didn't realize how much I want to live in a place like this with all the greenery surrounding it until I went to visit her).

My friend and her husband barbequed for us, and then we went to see a free concert, sitting outside on the grass with the guys playing bagpipes and a digeridoo and hippies dancing, and we had ice cream, and played board games, and generally just had a lovely time. We also the next morning got skinny, skinny french baguettes with ham and thyme butter and took a litle stroll in Lithia Park, one of the loveliest urban parks I've ever seen, with brilliant pink azaleas blooming and the creek burbling through.

Love Ashland and was so awesome to see my friend!
