Oregon fast and furious

Made a fast get-away after work to begin a nonstop Oregon 84 hour adventure.

 Powell Bookstore is largest independent chain of bookstores

Made it to Portland just in time to peruse some books 

Deschutes Brewery; award winning craft beer pub

and have some micro-brews...

Next morning picked up a rental car for 5 HOUR drive to Ashland, Oregon.

First time I have ever stayed at a Bed & Breakfast and it was amazing!

But, the point of the entire trip was the Shakespeare Festival; founded in 1935, one of the oldest and largest professional non-profit theatres in the nation

Succeeded in seeing four plays in 48 hours!

The venues are outstanding,

and seeing plays outside under the stars is a fabulous experience.

Yipee, woke up at 5am for five hour drive back to Portland.

Had less than 12 hours to explore all the wonderful, weirdness in Portland.

Started at the Saturday Market...

This guy is juggling knives!

full of arts and crafts and street performers.

Had to go to the famous Voodoo doughnut store. 

After a 45 minute wait got all of three doughnuts!

Oreos and peanut butter on a glazed doughnut is delicious !! 

And back to the famous Deschutes Craft beer pub.

A quick battle with a beaver sculpture because being weird in Portland is the norm:)

Enough said !

And my 84 hours in Oregon ended.
